July 1, 2022 5.0 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.

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 Alternatives considered [FortiManager](https://www.capterra.com/p/246675/FortiManager/) Reason for choosing Next Generation Firewall in realtà non sono stato io a sceglierlo ma dopo averlo utilizzato lo consiglio sempre Switched from [Junos OS](https://www.capterra.com/p/229029/Junos-OS/) Per politiche commerciali Review Source AC Alessandro C.
