I have experience deploying and managing PA-Series firewalls in a multi-site environment, including international locations connected via MPLS. We use them for perimeter security and have centralized management through Panorama. Deploying and managing them across sites has been straightforward and effective which makes Palo Alto Networks a preferred choice for our network security needs. The PA-Series has consistently helped us prevent cyber-attacks through its threat prevention and vulnerability profiles. By configuring security profiles effectively, including antivirus and threat prevention, we have successfully mitigated various threats. Overall, I would rate Palo Alto Networks PA-Series as a nine out of ten.
We have third-party support for the Palo Alto equipment. We call the implementation partner only whenever we need configuration information or changes. They make changes for us. We have not been directly involved with OEM for any support. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Since Palo Alto Networks PA-Series is a very expensive solution, rich customers like banks, financial organizations, and telecom companies prefer the solution. Overall, I rate Palo Alto Networks PA-Series nine and a half out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The one con is that it's a little more expensive than others. But the pros here are that it has good support. Overall, it is a good product, and you can definitely have it with other vendors. So it doesn't have any issue. If you only have Palo Alto, you cannot have others in the environment. You can definitely have others connected there. There is no issue. And the technical support team is also there to guide you. It's a very good team. So you can always go ahead and purchase Palo Alto. It's a little bit pricier than others. But it is worth it because you'll get other support and everything is very good.
Palo Alto is easily accessible, manageable, and offers more features and security. I recommend this solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I would recommend using this product , but it's important to have whiteboard sessions with the network and another team to give them information on exactly how to check the BGP settings. You need to go over with the team the things they need to do on the GUI and on the CLI. So, you definitely need to educate the team before using it. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It's very stable. There are some tools for pushing the rules to Panorama, pushing the rules to the device, especially if you're working with a team, if you're working on a rule and someone pushes to Panorama, or if they want to push your firewall rules. Someone could push you if you have set up something for a change and you need to the changes at a certain time, if another member comes in and puts a change, you definitely need to have your changes or your pushes to the device or to Panorama, you need to have good communication between the team. So there are some good and bad things with Panorama. As you work on it, you adjust.
