"Seamless Cloud-Native Security with Centralized Panorama Management"

5/5

What do you like best about Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW?

Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW is its seamless cloud-native integration combined with enterprise-grade security. It delivers Palo Alto’s best-in-class Layer 7 threat protection and App-ID capabilities without the operational complexity of managing firewall infrastructure. The ability to manage security policies centrally via Panorama ensures consistent policy enforcement across hybrid environments. Additionally, its automated scaling and zero-overhead maintenance allow us to secure cloud workloads efficiently while keeping management simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW?

The main drawbacks are the high cost structure—especially data processing charges—and higher complexity when integrating with Panorama for hybrid setups. It also offers slightly less granular customization compared to traditional PA-Series VM Firewalls, and multi-cloud support can still be somewhat limited depending on the provider.

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

It solves the operational headache of manually deploying, patching, and scaling firewall VMs, while providing much deeper L7 security than basic cloud-native tools. Benefits: It saves significant operational time, allows unified policy management across hybrid networks via Panorama, and scales automatically with our traffic without requiring manual infrastructure work.
