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."Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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 product was great, and whenever there was a bug or issue, they released updates quickly. Additionally, their support was very good."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"The firewall rules and policies are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Using this solution means that you can store logs for longer periods, up to perhaps two years, depending on your attached storage."
"It has shared profiles for all gateways. If I do not have Panorama, I need to create a separate profile for each and every gateway by logging into that particular gateway, but with Panorama, I can create a shared profile and just push it down to each and every gateway connected to it."
"The initial setup isn't very complex, it's user-friendly."
"The threat prevention and layer seven security features were the most used and important for us. All operations are quite good in this solution."
"Panorama is very easy, easy to administrate, and easy to control."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"The system should be more customizable."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"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 pricing of the solution could be considered an area of improvement, as it is a comprehensive and feature-rich product that may include features that are not needed by some companies."
"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."
"It's difficult to implement."
"We found a vulnerability where when we have a low flow, like 2.7K, it is not getting fired by the threat prevention. That's something important to improve on. They should have a proxy or some solution to solve the issue. We also found some issues around decrypting the flow. When we have more flow than expected to decrypt, the performance goes down."
"They can improve its cloud integration."
"This would be a better solution if it were more tightly integrated with the firewalls."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
