Palo Alto Firewall is one of the Greatest Product I ever worked with.
Comments: This is one of the best and firewall solution, and always in the plate whenever we are selecting the firewall solution for any new setup. It has all the great Network Security features which work really well.
Pros:
I really liked the User interface; it is very easy to understand and work with. Also easy customization of the dashboard, so we can see the critical things once we are on dashboard, such as high availability status, current traffic status, firewall logs etc. Another feature that I liked is the dynamics updates, firewall is always updated with latest security updates. Also, if zero-day threat is detected it is now allowed by default, it goes to Sandbox environment and processed there.
Cons:
Not that I can think of, however as market is growing, Palo Alto should keep on upgrading the product, And also come up with new products such as cloud-based security (Managed Security Vendor). I know they all these products however they do not seem so matured compared to their competitors such as Zscaler.

I firewall dei firewall
Pros:
Mi è piaciuto molto l'interfaccia di gestione specialmente in versione 10 in poi. Sbalordito nel vedere come il firewall generi allarmi e blocchi traffico malevole. Ottima la possibilità di aggiungere liste dinamiche esterne es. misp.Facile l'utilizzo tramite cli con comandi molto facili da imparare e molto intuitivi. Molto facile di creare dei custom object in caso di blocchi particolari.
Cons:
Probabilmente il prezzo delle licenze ed il fatto che 3 volte in fase di aggiornamento firmware ho dovuto mandar dietro l'appliance
Firewall indispensabile
Pros:
Il monitoraggio di tutto lo stack OSI è la cosa che ci ha più colpito e che ci porta ad adottarlo come firewall.Siamo in grado di poter filtrare oltre agli ip anche appicazioni, domini e query DNS
Cons:
Il prezzo non è tra i più abbordabili per una piccola azienda e la management (Panorama) non è estremamente user friendly
