Pros
"Overall the solution does a good job.""Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with.""Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively.""I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited.""The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."

"Firewalls: The application ID capabilities have been very useful for things like Active Directory, and not having to identify every port that Microsoft has decided to use.""The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is its ease of use.""Compared to all of the other firewall vendors, Palo Alto is very secure.""All of the reports and events from different locations can be managed centrally.""It's helpful that the solution allows us to control all the firewalls from one device.""Everything about the reporting and everything about Palo Alto Networks Panorama is good.""Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features.""Palo Alto Networks Panorama provides many features, such as alerts, traffic monitoring, and logs."

More Palo Alto Networks Panorama Pros →

Cons
"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario.""The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that.""It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications.""The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."

More ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer Cons →

"This would be a better solution if it were more tightly integrated with the firewalls.""My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama.""Storage in Palo Alto Networks Panorama needs improvement. My company also experienced deployment issues when the product was first installed, particularly when binding with the firewall. It's not as user-friendly because not everyone can deploy it without some knowledge.""The alerts in Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by integration with other systems, such as a forwarding trigger system. For example, if a customer has their own system it would be helpful to have the alarms integrated.""There is room for improvement in response time for tech support.""Instead of searching their knowledge base in their website, maybe they can interact with us in the user interface to explain things better.""In the future, it would be beneficial if Panorama could include a firewall assurance feature similar to Skybox.""It can take a few minutes to test to see if any changes are successful or not. This needs to be improved. A commit change should take a second, not a minute or more."

  • "It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."
  • "Initially, Palo Alto looks expensive, but if you dig deeper then you will find that it is very comparable, or even cheaper than other solutions."
