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."The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"The tool's support is good."
"The product was great, and whenever there was a bug or issue, they released updates quickly. Additionally, their support was very good."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama provides many features, such as alerts, traffic monitoring, and logs."
"Templates and the possibility to apply a configuration to many devices at the same time are the most valuable features. We are able to create templates, and we don't need to go to each firewall to make changes. We can make changes in Panorama, and it automatically applies those changes to all those firewalls on which we want to apply the changes. It provides centralized management."
"We are attracted to Palo Alto because it is stable."
"This is an efficient solution."
"The installation process is very simple."
"On the one or two occasions that I had to make use of technical support, I felt it to be pretty good."
"The most valuable aspect of Palo Alto Networks Panorama for me is the centralized management of multiple firewalls."
"There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera."
"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
"It communicates with remote devices, and sometimes, there is a little bit of delay during its communication with remote devices. There should be real-time communication or updates from the manager to devices."
"It is an expensive product."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"We have had some issues in the past because integrating a new device is not intuitive."
"Clients need to have an alarm and alert system from which they can forward the trigger. The product needs to improve its integration as well."
"I would like more dashboard management."
"The ease of use of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is an area for improvement. Another downside is that you need a lot of comprehension to understand what it is."
