Strong security features, reliable VPN connection, seamless integration with Palo Alto firewalls, user-friendly interface, multi-platform support, automatic connection on untrusted networks, low impact on device performance, centralized management and monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasional connection drops, complex initial setup, limited customization options, high resource usage on some devices, slower connection speeds in certain regions, can be challenging for non-technical users, high licensing costs, inconsistent user experience across platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although I did not directly administer the firewall or setup PaloAlto infrastructure for my org environment, I can give some feedback as both an administrator & its user. As an end user, I liked how the network traffic is both allowed & restricted at the same time. As an administrator, it is very easy to control the kind of access you want to allow your users. Moreover, troubleshooting any issue is hassle free when you have a community forum & knowledge base. Even the installation of the client on endpoints is pretty easy. You don't necessarily need someone from IT to configure it on endpoints. We have thousands of users, using it every day working remotely, especially since the covid & mandatory WFH. Implementing any big change can be challenging for an org size of 30k employees. We were using Cisco AnyConnect before which in my opinion was horrible. Moving to GlobalProtect was the best decision our leadership has made. We had different authentication methods over the course but it was surprising to see how easily it was integrated with each of them. Of Couse Azure turned out to be the best in the end. Nevertheless, you have many options. You also get a community where you can get help for any common or repeat issues but the tricky unique ones are very well addressed by the Palo Alto Tech Support. Gotta say it was impressive how it was implemented over a few weeks during the pandemic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although I love the service, some obvios factors might impact small orgs that cannot use this service. From what I know, the products are very expensive vs Cisco AnyConnect. It also requires a lot of resources such as CPU, memory & bandwidth. So if someone with less bandwidth is using it, they might face issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Global Connect creates a very secure and reliable VPN to perform various activities on the internet. The downtime is quite low compared to other VPNs and one can connect to it with few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I don't see any particular downsides to the product, if I had to nitpick, one flaw would be the lack of location choices. You can't really choose different locations for browsing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Global protect uses browser based SSO and hence it's much easier and faster than other VPNs.

-Global protect provides online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public connection.

-Supports MFA via third party apps such as Okta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Global protect won't connect if the internet connectivity is weaker.

-There are instances when we have to remove the existing profiles completely in order to connect the VPN because it keeps loading endlessly.

-MFA push notifications (Okta verify) get delayed most of the time, we haven't been able to identify the cause of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GlobalProtect provides more secure and encrypted remote access to internal networks and best thing is that it supports a large number of concurrent users because of which whole organisation can use VPN at same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only this which i disliked is that encryption and decryption processes involved in securing network traffic impacts network latency, especially when dealing with high volumes of traffic or when accessing resource-intensive applications. This leads to lag in connection formation and accessing public websites when connected with VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Palo Alto is a great mobile VPN and access management tool. We generally use Palo Alto to connect to a secure VPN network to keep our internal data safe and secure from foreign threats. It is an access management platform to log in to the office network and work-related applications. The best thing is the connection and usage is so smooth and easy. We can join in seconds, and verification happens in a click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The push notifications are sometimes delayed, though the internal servers and applications send the sign-on access push to the Palo Alto app, it comes at least 5-10 seconds lately to the mobile app, it has happened several times. This can be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Global protect SSL VPN software is easy to install and also configuration on firewall side is also easy. It provides host check features so avoid any unknown user to connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as such but sometimes it takes a lot of time to connect and software of global protect sometimes hangs. But still it is far better than any other SSL VPN softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
