"I find their logging a little bit trickier to manage. The logging of events is broken up into a lot of different categories. Instead of breaking up my logs into several different places, I personally like to have all the events in one spot and then filter them down.

"The product does need a bit of configuration. It's not quite ready to go out of the box."
"It's difficult to implement."
"The solution should improve the speed at which they make changes on the system. Historically, they've been a bit slow in that respect. They should apply changes to the box quicker and more often."
"There is room for improvement in the integration within endpoint detection. They need to do some integration between endpoints and the firewalls."
"At times we have noticed that we get into issues where Panorama is going too slow or has other little problems. The performance can suffer occasionally."
