Helpful tool for daily tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Handling everything with the Palo Alto is very smooth. The dashboard is clean and also very easy to do navigation , and I like how it handles traffic depending on applications, users, content. It gives strong insights into network activity, which really helps with troubleshooting. Details like threat detection and URL filtering are good, and WildFire adds an additional layer of safety through catching threats before.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, it’s pretty solid overall, but the updates can feel kinda slow or annoying sometimes. If you’re new to it, it takes a bit to figure things out like, setting up those detailed rules isn’t super friendly. Also, it’s little pricey, so probably not the best for small setups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Your firewalls make things very easier when it comes to keeping our network safe. We used to spend a lot of time dealing with security issues manually, but now it catches most threats on its own. It’s nice how it shows detailed traffic info and blocks risky stuff before it even becomes a problem. It definitely saves us a lot time.
