Powerful security with smart app control.

What differentiates Palo Alto Network Security NGFW from other similar products?
Palo Alto NGFW can spot apps and threats more accurately, even in encrypted traffic. It uses one fast system to handle everything at once, so it's quicker and more efficient. It works well with other Palo Alto tools to give full protection across your whole network.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is the App-ID technology—it identifies applications by behavior, not just port or protocol. That means it can control traffic more precisely and stop sneaky threats that try to hide like normal apps. It's smart and practical.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's a bit hard to set up at first and needs trained people. Some features can feel too advanced if you're new to firewalls. It also costs more than some other options.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Make sure your team knows firewalls or get some training. Take time to plan setup so you get the best security. Try a demo first to see if it fits your needs.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
- Saves Time
- Security Protects
Cons
- Vendor's Interest First
- Under Delivered
- Less Transparent
