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."AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Technical support is helpful and knowledgeable."
"This solution is user-friendly. It is centrally managed and provides role optimization, without the need for additional tools."
"From a configuration point of view, when we are implementing it for large organizations where the customer owns a hundred firewalls, it's just easy to manage them all at one central location."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is its ease of use."
"Using this solution means that you can store logs for longer periods, up to perhaps two years, depending on your attached storage."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has good stability. I didn't see any instability from it, and its initial setup was straightforward."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"The system should be more customizable."
"They need to do less bug-related releases and create versions that are stable for at least six months at a time. I don't find this issue in other solutions like Cisco, Check Point, FortiGate, or others. Those just provide a patch if there is a bug and we don't have to worry about downtime."
"The pricing is quite high."
"The product could offer more integration with other solutions."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"Price is probably one of the biggest things that we struggle with, specifically with Palo, and that's across their whole portfolio."
"The solution can improve by providing unique reports in relation to the function of which you choose the firewall to do."
"The solution's utilization of network ports makes things as complex as possible."
"It is very hard to understand the platform. It is not easy and user-friendly. You need a lot of experience to use Panorama. It is very complex, and you must know exactly what to do. I would like to have a more user-friendly product. FortiManager is comparatively very easy to use. It would be good if Panorama improves in terms of user-friendliness. It is also harder to use than Palo Alto Firewalls."
