"Panorama in Focus: Centralized Firewall Management at Scale"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Panorama?

- Unified Control Plane: Panorama lets you manage thousands of Palo Alto NGFWs—up to 5,000 in Management Only mode—from a single interface.

- Consistent Policy Enforcement: You can push security policies, device configurations, and updates across all managed firewalls, ensuring uniform protection and compliance.

- Panorama collects logs from all managed devices, enabling centralized analysis of traffic, threats, and user behavior Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Panorama?

- Panorama must run a base PAN-OS version equal to or higher than the managed firewalls. This can complicate upgrades and mixed-version environments.

- While the VM version of Panorama is flexible, hardware appliances strictly enforce device limits. Exceeding the licensed number of managed devices can cause commit failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Palo Alto Networks Panorama solving and how is that benefiting you?

Decentralized Firewall Management

- Problem: Managing configurations, policies, and updates across dozens or hundreds of firewalls is time-consuming and error-prone.

- Solution: Panorama provides a centralized platform to push consistent policies, monitor traffic, and manage updates across all firewalls

Inconsistent Security Policies

- Problem: Different teams or sites may apply varying rules, leading to gaps in security posture.

- Solution: Panorama enforces uniform policy templates and device groups, ensuring consistent security across the organization.

Limited Visibility into Network Activity

- Problem: Without centralized logging, threat detection and incident response are fragmented.

- Solution: Panorama aggregates logs from all managed devices, enabling unified threat analysis, application monitoring, and forensic investigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Palo alto Networks Panorama Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Panorama?

For me, one of the best features that Palo Alto Networks Panorama offers is: the centralized management and the visibility across multiple firewalls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Panorama?

For me Palo Alto Networks Panorama offers many good features, the Complexity for New Users, Learning Curve and the Initial Setup are some aspects that the users can find hard or difficult at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Palo Alto Networks Panorama solving and how is that benefiting you?

One problem experienced was that Without centralized management, the organization face a hard time trying to enforce uniform security policies across a large network. And that generate security vulnerabilities for the company.

The Solution that Palo alto offers is that allows the centralized creation and the enforcement of security policies, that can be applied across all the managed firewalls in the network of the company.

From my point of view, the benefit that i can observed is that the consistency in the security posture and a stronger defense against differents attacks, that offers Palo Alto, and the security policies are uniform across the whole environment, it will reduce the chances of a policy loophole and a hard time for the company.
