What differentiates Palo Alto Network Security NGFW from other similar products?
In order to defend the enterprise, Palo Alto NGFW includes wildfire, which can analyze files in order to find any zero-day threats. Palo Alto Networks NGFW prevents outside attacks from entering our company by displaying application visibility and the threat intelligence functionality to reduce risk.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We've never had performance concerns thanks to the independent administration and data planes. Their grasp of security threats, along with their in-depth knowledge of the application, aids us in navigating a dynamically shifting threat landscape. Instead of relying on ports, it performs an outstanding job of securing via applications.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Palo Alto GUI is so feature-rich that it doesn't even need CLI. However, the GUI is a little complicated, which makes it challenging for a beginner to set configurations. They forbid the use of static whitelists, MAC whitelists, or VLAN whitelists.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Palo Alto Networks NGFW is in charge of preventing intrusions, performing gateway-level antivirus inspection, and filtering out malware, malicious URLs, spyware, and files that users upload or download. Of all the security products I have worked on, Single Pass Architecture has the best features, simplicity, and practical solutions that are simple to locate and use.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Effective Service

What differentiates Palo Alto Network Security NGFW from other similar products?
Palo Alto Networks NGFW series excels at using URL filtering to provide us incredibly detailed access to certain people or active directory groups. They are continuously updating their features. Multiple defense layers are added by PA Series, including anti-spyware, anti-malware, file blocking, URL filtering, and others.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I have spent this time investigating the numerous sophisticated capabilities, including content filtering, advanced IPs, and app restrictions. Every security consultant has a favorite firewall that they always recommend. This firewall is stronger and more secure thanks to its enhanced features. Deep scanning and sandboxing for advanced level deep filtering of packets are both features of the IDS/IPS and Advanced Malware Protection.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I've encountered a problem with Palo Alto Firewall's high availability in public cloud platforms; high availability doesn't seem to function, thus I have to use the standalone Palo Alto Firewall. There are basically no choices for configuration help; their support is solely break-fix.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Palo Alto is ideally suited as a perimeter or gateway level firewall to protect users from current threats and sophisticated attackers while also enabling secure Internet access. Its sandboxing and data leak protection features quickly identify any vulnerabilities in your infrastructure and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your data.
Pros
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
