External reviews

PAN provides a great NGFW. I have managed/deployed PAN firewalls throughout my career
What do you like best about the product?
I like the management UI and I like how they have maintained a consistency when it comes to the layout so that you are not relearning things constantly and know just where to go. Of course having App-ID to create policies and the ability to integrate with AD has always been a huge plus. Centralized management through Panorama or Prisma makes it super easy to deploy and manage at scale. Palo has the best firewall in my personal opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike really. It does what it's supposed to do and does it well. You can even integrate it with Menlo Security's secure cloud browser seamlessly as a transparent proxy and then you have ultimate protection from the firewall for your org and users via the browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to see exactly what is coming and going from an app usage perspective and allows me to secure access to/from our assets.

What do you dislike about the product?
My overall experience with Palo Alto is awe-inspiring, but below are a few points that can be improved :
1.It supports only 260-time object schedules, but there are 365 days in a year.
2. SNMP Trap didn't poll power logs on Solarwind.
3. By default, the UDP session out for the ike-esp-udp app is 3600 sec which causes high session table utilization.
