"Leader in Next Gen Firewall segment"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls?

Palo Alto NextGen Firewall comes first when it comes to new feature releases. Any new update by Gartner on new trends gets added to PA Firewall first. Other vendors follows them. The UI is intuitive with lots of online documentation for assistance. Best part is one can configure everything without involving their Support team just by going through indepth detailed and up to date documentation. No other competitors in the market can match their level. We have been using PA firewall for deployment to our customer on prem sites. They have lot if integration options available which boosts the overall value they provide. API availability helps in automating tasks either using postman/ansible/python scripts.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls?

Although you can configure most of it from scratch, but you will need support assistance when troubleshooting any issue. That is when you'll see delays in reponse which adds up to the frustration. We feel bug fixes are also bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Security at the Forefront"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls?

Palo Alto's Next-Generation firewalls are robust, enterprise-class appliances. Their hardware is built to last, and their support team is always quick to respond. The features they offer are nearly endless and at a price that is within reason for what you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls?

Configuration may be daunting at first if you are not used to this type of device. Our only real gripe with the Palo Alto Next-generation firewalls is their boot time. You can plan on waiting a good 20 minutes for the device to reboot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
