"It provides a quicker response time to vulnerabilities and more visibility into traffic flows."
"The solution is suitable for all sized businesses."
"What's most valuable in Palo Alto Networks Panorama is that it allows us to see the status on the network side, particularly on the endpoint, because we also use it for the internal network."

"It is an expensive product."
"This would be a better solution if it were more tightly integrated with the firewalls."
