One area I find challenging with Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW is the initial configuration and learning curve. Setting up policies, routing, integrations, and troubleshooting traffic flows can require a good understanding of both cloud networking and Palo Alto security concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Palo Alto Networks helps us address two key security challenges. On the endpoint side, it provides secure global VPN connectivity for devices, so users can safely connect to corporate and cloud resources before they start work. On the cloud side, Cloud NGFW adds another layer of protection for applications and workloads running in AWS by controlling and inspecting network traffic and enforcing security policies.

For me, this means secure access to the infrastructure I work on, while also helping protect our cloud applications and services from unauthorized or potentially malicious network traffic. Overall, it gives us a consistent security layer across both user access and cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We see that integrations with other platforms are in beta testing at the time and will be available very soon, but we are missing (do not see it as being tested yet) and would benefit from an integration with the Microsoft 365 platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The WatchGuard Network Security components (Firebox Firewalls, Endpoint Security and Authpoint) are our main solution for keeping our company safe from all the security threats out there. Having an all-in-one solution for that is helping us save both time in maintaining the plaform (compared to maintaining multiple platforms) and money as purchasing several different solutions would cost much more.

One thing I dislike is that sizing and licensing can be a little confusing at first, especially when you're trying to match the VM resources and expected traffic load. Performance can also depend quite a bit on the underlying virtualization or cloud infrastructure, so proper sizing is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FortiGate-VM helps us solve the challenge of securing virtual and cloud environments without having to deploy a physical firewall. I can use the same FortiOS features I'm already familiar with for firewalling, VPN, IPS, application control and traffic inspection. The biggest benefit is having consistent security policies and visibility across virtual, on-premises and cloud environments, which makes deployment and day-to-day management much easier.

Nothing special. Actually, I'm very satisfied with GassWire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So basically, I use GlassWire to monitor my network usage. I have limited internet connection. So I need to manage my data package for the entire month. By using GlassWire, I can get an overall idea about which apps on my laptop use more data and, according to that, adjust their usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup and configuration can feel complex, and some of the more advanced features come with a learning curve. On top of that, the licensing costs may be high for smaller organizations, and the management interface could be more intuitive and easier to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) helps secure cloud workloads by preventing cyber threats, enforcing consistent security policies, and protecting network traffic across cloud environments.

It has already caught quite a number of issues for us. The IPS has done a great job alerting us to when something suspicious is going on. This lets us be able to see things as they occur real time. It is also our means of controlling our bandwidth usage. We especially like the fact that we can shape traffic based on not just IP events, but also by applications using up all of our bandwidth. We can also shape traffic by user and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, alerts may require manual review to determine their real impact, which can add extra steps to the workflow.

That said, these limitations are relatively minor and can usually be managed with proper configuration and familiarity with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me stay protected from malware, viruses, and suspicious files without having to think about it all the time. I don’t need to constantly check settings or worry if my computer is exposed, because it runs in the background and does its job.

Overall, it helps me avoid infections and interruptions, so I can focus on what I’m doing instead of worrying about security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial deployment can be complex, especially when scaling across multiple virtual networks. Fine-tuning policies and integrating with other monitoring tools took longer than expected, requiring extra training for the team. Pricing can become significant as the number of virtual instances grows. While the firewall is powerful, the documentation could be more user-friendly for first-time administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The VM-Series Virtual Firewall has helped us centralize security across multiple virtualized environments, including cloud and on-premises workloads. Before using it, managing separate firewalls for each instance created inefficiencies and increased the risk of misconfigurations. Now we can enforce consistent policies, detect threats faster, and reduce manual monitoring. This has improved our incident response times and overall confidence in network security. However, setting up complex policies and integrating with existing monitoring tools still requires extra effort, and scaling the solution can increase costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most is the relatively high cost of licensing, subscriptions, and ongoing support. The initial setup and policy configuration can also be complex, especially for administrators who are new to the platform. In addition, software upgrades and troubleshooting may sometimes require careful planning to avoid service disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
