Palo Alto firewall is not just a firewall, it is more than a firewall. The best part of the firewall which I like most user friendly UI and robust firewall upgrade process which has 99.999% success rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well as such I don't have any dislike but yes some times when you work for small orgnization, you won't get chance to work on Palo Alto because it is bit costlier compare to other OEM's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best thing about Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls is Transparency and AppID.

Often times you'll find other vendors referencing max throughput which is measured in really strict conditions and/or without utilizing full security features on firewall. This is often times really missleading. When you look at PANW firewall throughput, it's measured while having all the beneficial services running.

AppID is really mind blowing part of the Firewall. From Reducing the attack surface by approving exactly what is the bare minimum of necessary apps. (Firewall it self offloads this for you, using the Policy Optimizer) all the way to knowing the impact of using such appliactions.

Generaly, features by themselves are something that you expect from firewall to have, however the approach that was taken, Reducing the Attack surface, is really what makes the ZTNA possible. All the way from segmentation, continuously inspecting the traffic, only from specific users/groups, and only allowed applications is a unbeatable combination.

I only dislike commit time, when you want to make a fast change and see result quickly, you must pass through commit that takes around 45 sec to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The firewalls capabilty of handling traffic is top notch and the way you can develop custom App IDs are my favourite part and intergration of Palo Alto Firewalls with Gloabal Protect VPN is also amazing. We have 50+ firewalls in our organisation ranging from PA-220 and to PA-5000s series and we use panorama to manage these firewalls which makes the management easy. Also the URL firteling, WildLife threats and use of EDLs are also one of the great features of the firewalls. The options you have while implementing the new firewalls rules is something that is helpful where you can customize your rule however you want. It is very easy to implement the firewall rules, even a fresher in the security industry can easily grasp it.

Finally, the customer support, Palo Alto's customer support are very responsive and so far whatever engagement I had with them were always very prompt and very promising. They were able to help from technical to sales in a very excellent way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside of using the Palo Alto Firewalls is there resolution of bugs. When you report a bug it takes few weeks for them to resolve that and get new patches of the software version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
