"The feature that we like the most about Forcepoint is that we know the technology and have confidence in it. We can have several functionalities to simplify operations and management. We can combine functionalities like log ownership to review the number of devices in the infrastructure."
"It's allowed us to have better visibility and protection from threats."

"Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement."
"They should have a GUI on the product itself, not a separate management tool to be used on the management server or on a server to be used to manage the file. It should be all in one device. The device should be controlled through its own GUI. They also have to improve the learning center and the documents as the documents don't really help."
"In larger companies with extensive infrastructure, retrieving logs for a longer period of time can sometimes take a bit longer than desired."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."
"My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework."
"We have had some challenges with making Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB work with ELK stack."
"One way Palo Alto can improve is by offering sandboxing. I don't know if they currently offer a sandboxing feature together with the firewall or not. They should provide secure sandboxing with the firewalls."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"For hosting sites like Blogspot, they host sites that should be in different categories, but get lumped together in general. There needs to be more granularity or multiple categorizations."
"An area for improvement would be the technical support, which can be slow."
"Performance monitoring could use improvement."
"It is an expensive solution and not everyone has the budget for it."
