We performed a comparison between Palo Alto Networks Panorama and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is an efficient solution."
"The installation process is very simple."
"In Panorama, installing the policy, and pushing the policy, it's quite seamless."
"It provides a quicker response time to vulnerabilities and more visibility into traffic flows."
"It is great that the records go back to 30 days."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is its ease of use."
"The product features allow the capacity to take effective, advanced security measures."
"I like its flexibility."
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"Overall, the tool has helped us reduce risks. If any step is missing, it's easier for my team or engineers to identify it. The tool provides accurate recommendations based on the data. Its integration is easy, and I have integrated it with Fortinet firewalls."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The way that it's built with three-tier architecture, it makes it very horizontally scalable, so I can have multiple fallbacks. If one machine does fall offline, there are four other machines that are doing the exact same job to pick it up"
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."
"As the cybersecurity threats have become more aggressive these days, Palo Alto Networks Panorama can still be improved, particularly on the security side, for example, more network management, and penetration test. Improving the security feature for internal endpoints is needed in the solution."
"I would like to see remote VPN, like the Cisco client."
"The current documentation is not detailed enough."
"Panorama needs to work on its configuration issues."
"The licensing costs are quite high."
"It could be easier to manage. In the future, it should be much easier because it's not very easy to manage. So in the next release, I think it should be much easier to manage, especially in the first configuration. It could also be more stable."
"The customer support needs to be better."
"The dual WAN functionality is missing in this solution."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
