Useful bandwidth optimization, reliable, but difficult to implement

The deployment of Allot IoTSecure took approximately one week and it is very difficult. When using a different solution, if you install one device, you can easily install another device. However, in Allot IoTSecure, you have to use the help from Allot. Without the help of Allot, it is not possible to configure it.

Responsive system enhances network management but integration needs refinement

I find Palo Alto Networks IoT Security to be highly responsive, and its separate management and data planes are a major advantage. As an insurance company in the financial sector, we must meet strict regulatory requirements, and Palo Alto has proven to be an excellent solution. Its management is straightforward, the dashboards and reporting are comprehensive, and most importantly, it functions exactly as described in the documentation. For example, when we needed to block YouTube on our network, Palo Alto successfully blocked access while our Cisco firewall failed to block access on iPhones. This highlights the inconsistency we've experienced with different firewalls, whereas Palo Alto has consistently performed as expected.
