Palo Alto is one of the most advanced solutions in the market. No vendor is acting similarly at the moment. The solution is suitable for automation and to protect the network productively. It has a reasonable cost in terms of investment because the price is not excessive in terms of security level. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
We have Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention customers from the corporate, hospitality, banking, and finance sectors. I rate it an eight out of ten because it is complex to integrate with Microsoft AD.
I am a Palo Alto instructor. I run the firewalls for twenty minutes and then tear them down again. There are other people in the organization who deal with the firewalls 24/7. I don't have enough exposure to give a high score to the product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

My advice to others would be to use Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention for the perimeter of the network. I rate Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention a nine out of ten.
I like the solution's interface. The features are very easy to manage. The firewall is responsible for a host of tasks, as we use it for the monitoring of high power systems. The configuring of agents is easy. I rate Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention as a ten out of ten.
If you're going to use this solution, you should have a professional set it up for you. On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. They're cutting edge. They're one of the leaders in the industry, and they're continuously improving their product.

I would recommend this solution. It's stable and doesn't have many bugs. I would rate it an eight out of ten. In order to make it a ten, they should improve their technical support.

For those who want a next-gen firewall that's easy to configure and easy to operate, I think you should go for Palo Alto. Palo Alto is a bit pricy compared to different models. Customers try to compare the price between other solutions, like Fortinet, Cisco, and Checkpoint. In the next release, I would like for Palo Alto to work on email protection. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Security in business is an important issue. There is a difference between the quote and the end price of the end product. Some vendors are impressed with the numbers they see on paper, then they start to use it and compare it and assess the ratio between the quote, security, and final price of the end product. It is important to consider the people who will maintain the solution. For example, if you don't have a large team in your organization, then one person is tasked with several duties, as opposed to having several departments with equal responsibilities. These are all things to consider when it comes to security. Sometimes, when you have more than one security product running, they fight with each other and it can make things difficult. In the case of this solution, things have been very smooth. So far, there have been no security issues and we are absolutely happy with Palo Alto Networks. It is easy to test out a trial version, but there is a problem with that. In my experience, after paying for the solution, it takes time to get to know it. There are complex things that may take half a year to understand how they work. In some cases, it is simple testing at the beginning, but over time you might find problems. With Palo Alto, you can ask for extended trial licenses, which is not something that you get from a lot of vendors. I have spent a lot of time in IT and I know that there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect solution. This one is easy to use and works well in our organization, but it might not be as suited to another organization. This is a product that I recommend, although it depends on the environment. Every product has pros and cons. Good planning and good testing is the best way to choose the product that best suits you. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
We work with the public and private cloud as well as the on-premises deployment models. Our role is to implement security solutions at our customer's premises. The deployment depends on the infrastructure. I would rate the solution seven out of ten. As a next-generation IPS, it's a very good firewall. I would recommend it.

We use the on-premises deployment model. The solution is very good, especially compared to other solutions. I would rate it nine out of ten. It also offers re-instruction detection and prevention software, which we also use in conjunction with the Threat Prevention solution.

It's a brilliant product, we periodically look at several other firewalls to stay on top of their capabilities and so on, and it's the best bang for your buck that you can get. Some of the other firewalls are starting to catch up. I implemented a baby, which could be regarded as a baby Palo Alto firewall. We pushed through in a single day with everything switched on, all the capabilities switched on, we pushed through 4.3 terabytes of data per day. Which is phenomenal for such a baby, little firewall, with all the capabilities switched on, it's absolutely mind-boggling that it handled that, and it did. It was at a university that we implemented it. The advice that I would give is to partner with somebody that has the necessary skills to implement it. Buy from somebody that has proven skills to implement the product because if you don't have a partner to implement the product, that knows the product, and is qualified, it's pretty useless buying the product. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
