Palo Alto Networks IoT Security Reviews

In our organization, we use the product "PA 3220" for Security and NAT policy configuration to block unwanted traffic. We can create different zones in our network, such as trusted, untrusted, DMZ. advance threat protection, and anti-malware protection. 

We can create site-to-site and remote site VPNs as per users' requests. With the help of the SP3 engine, we can allow traffic with a high level of performance. We are able to configure the high availability as Active-Active or Active-Passive to load balance the traffic on the firewall interface. A vulnerability assessment is also done.

All the applications are classified on the basis of their features and functions.

The Sp3 Engine has helped us. Whenever any packet comes to the Palo Alto then a parallel process and single-pass activity are there. A fast packet forwarding mechanism is used here. 

Single-pass traffic processing enables very high throughput and low latency. Single-pass software and parallel processing hardware are completely unique in network security.

We take advantage of a user behavior monitor and threat protection.

The Sp3 Engine is helpful. Single Pass software and Parallel Processing hardware are completely unique in network security.

This significantly reduces the amount of processing overhead required to perform multiple functions in one security device.

SP3 engine is most suitable for Next-Generation Firewalls.

All the features are good here as compared to other Next-Generation firewalls, however, some steps of configuration are complex and require hiring experienced staff. The cost is still high and licensing is still complex.

The current version Pan OS v10.0 is a more stable version now - most of the bugs and issues are fixed.

There's no need to add any points from my side about this product. It's a very good Next-Generation Firewall in our current environment.

I've used the solution for around the last three years.

We offer IoT devices for applications such as fleet management solutions. When developing these devices, we want to explore security tools that can safeguard these types of device management solutions.

From a security standpoint, it provides a comprehensive range of standard security features that align with our requirements. The IoT security tool we selected has a distinct advantage in terms of its feature set as it allows us to perform security scans on a per-device basis and obtain comprehensive results for all our devices.

It would be beneficial to have a more centralized and user-friendly platform that could consolidate all the necessary information, which proved challenging during the initial POC phase. We would rate the comprehensiveness and visibility as a four out of five because certain challenges need to be addressed and improved.

I have been using it for a year now.

The initial setup was a smooth experience and it only took us a day or two to complete it.

We deployed approximately twenty devices solely for the purpose of the POC.

Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

We use this solution as a network firewall related to IoT. 

This solution has been most valuable for establishing a VPN and implementing allow/deny rules. It has also enabled us to create security policies. It is an easy solution to customise when it comes to creating templates and pulling reports. 

The reporting for this solution could be improved. The logs we receive are only saved for one week. We would like to have the database timeframe increased to a month or two for historical reporting as well as increased storage capabilities to support this data and reporting. 

I have used this solution for more than three years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We have approximately 10,000 users that this solution supports. 

We have received really good support from Palo Alto. It is easy to log a ticket and get hold of a Palo Alto engineer.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
