Q&A Highlights
Question: What are the differences between Palo Alto Networks Panorama and AlgoSec?
Answer: Hi Dear Anouar, I want to explain something to avoid misunderstanding. Palo Alto Networks (PAN) Panorama is the management dashboard for Palo Alto Firewalls; which is provided by PAN and comes with a license. However AlgoSec is used as a Firewall Analyzer tool to analyze firewall rules according to their severities, configuration mistakes, shadowing or redundant rules, etc. If you want a solution to analyze your firewalls and harden them; you can consider preferring a firewall analyzer solution. If you want to manage your firewall configurations, create rules, routes, etc., you can prefer to have PAN panorama; instead of managing the firewalls by connecting each of them separately.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has reduced our audit preparation efforts and costs drastically and maintains continuous compliance.""We use it for global firewall rules management to ensure global policies are applied to all regional firewalls, provide auditing and compliance.""For us, as well as for our customers, firewall management and change management are the most important features.""Optimizing the operation making it possible to focus on other improvements.""We have reduced the attack surface of risky rules, improved our compliance scores, and streamlined our firewall change flow all thanks to AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer.""We need less time to identify any risks in our firewalls, as we can detect changes in real-time.""Reporting helps us with deliverables, areas of focus for improvement, and much more.""It lowers the burden of the security department."

"It has shared profiles for all gateways. If I do not have Panorama, I need to create a separate profile for each and every gateway by logging into that particular gateway, but with Panorama, I can create a shared profile and just push it down to each and every gateway connected to it.""Especially for big, worldwide clients, one of the most valuable features is being able to create some rules to place on the security groups.""I found it easy to learn how to pull information from the logs.""It is really useful for big deployments.""Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features.""A valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is reporting because it gives you different reports on data, logs, and threats. I also like the centralized firewall management feature of the product.""I like the quality of this product, and it performs. It's the best solution in the IT business.""We use the solution for centralized monitoring."

Cons
"Having the ability to patch an issue as oppose to upgrading the entire suite.""The documentation could be better.""More scope for editing alerts would be a welcome change.""At the integration point, a manual page could be added to the dashboard where directions about the products are explained in detail.""We needs object level permissions and application level recertifications.""A vulnerability management module might be interesting, though not integrated with a third-party vendor. It should be an AlgoSec VM module.""The risk matrix implementation is not easy from an Excel file, so it would be nice to have a solution for creating it directly within the web interface.""Needs integration to cloud ITSM tools, such ServiceNow."

More AlgoSec Cons →

"There could be more integrations with third parties.""Palo Alto Networks Panorama has some bugs that could be fixed.""We have experienced a few bugs which the team at Palo Alto don't have solutions for.""In the future, it would be beneficial if Panorama could include a firewall assurance feature similar to Skybox.""It communicates with remote devices, and sometimes, there is a little bit of delay during its communication with remote devices. There should be real-time communication or updates from the manager to devices.""The customer support needs to be better.""Price is probably one of the biggest things that we struggle with, specifically with Palo, and that's across their whole portfolio.""The alerts in Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by integration with other systems, such as a forwarding trigger system. For example, if a customer has their own system it would be helpful to have the alarms integrated."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is okay and the licensing can be a little tricky with the initial setup."
  • "AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
  • "I personally feel that the cost is quite expensive. AlgoSec is charging for each function, e.g., Active change, Application ABF license, etc."
  • "It is worth spending the cost for visibility on security. Of course, security is not cheap."
  • "It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security.​"
  • "It will reduce your operations costs with improved team performance."
  • "Use the entire suite for its best benefits."
  • "Licensing is offered as a subscription and as a perpetual model."
  • More AlgoSec Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is high compared to other vendors in the same space. Licensing is also fairly high for different functions to be added on."
  • "With the URL filtering, we probably went down from around four hours in response time to about five minutes."
  • "The licensing is not cheap. There are always hidden costs. You have support costs, or maybe you need to buy more optics on how the solution fits into the rest of your environment. It is possible some of the rest of your environment will need to change too."
  • "It has freed up staff time, which is where we are seeing ROI."
  • "Initially, Palo Alto looks expensive, but if you dig deeper then you will find that it is very comparable, or even cheaper than other solutions."
  • "You only pay for the license and there are no additional costs."
  • "We pay approximately $3,000 a year in order to use the product."
  • "The pricing model is reasonable for this class of solutions."
