A leader in NGFW
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Palo Alto Network Security NGFW from other similar products?
It's unique AppID feature.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Everything of this firewall is my favorite but mostly I like it's application control and it's unique AppID feature.
What do you dislike most about this product?
While pushing the policies, If one admin is doing it then another one can't perform the policy push. This lock feature in this firewall looks very odd when two or more admins working at a time. Palo Alto should look into this feature and come up with another approach like other vendors.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It's definitely worth purchasing this firewall anyone who is looking for most robust NGFW in the market. It's a leader in Gartner's quadrant.
