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."
"The tool's support is good."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"I found logging and management features the most valuable in Palo Alto Networks Panorama. Another good feature of the product is that it lets you define global firewall policies and templates."
"Especially for big, worldwide clients, one of the most valuable features is being able to create some rules to place on the security groups."
"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 ability to manage a large number of firewalls from a single point is most valuable."
"Technical support is helpful and knowledgeable."
"Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features."
"The solution offers good logging features."
"The solution doesn't need a proxy for the Prisma Access Firewall."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"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 ability to add scheduled jobs would be a significant improvement. Panorama has the ability to push out OS updates, but it would be nice to be able to schedule those updates so not to affect the site during normal business hours."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"The general customer feedback is when saving the configuration, it takes a long time. That needs to be fixed. The troubleshooting, the debugging part is also a little bit of a pain. It's not user-friendly on the interface to do our debugging when comparing it with other firewalls, like Forcepoint."
"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."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama has some bugs that could be fixed."
"Aside from pricing, I don't have any issues with Panorama."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by making the solution less expensive."
"The initial setup requires expertise and can be a bit complex."
