"They're still trying to digest that Meru acquisition and need a plan."

"My pain point is the automation process is not well-documented. There are some things that they could improve on there."

"The central firewall management could be better."
"The solution's utilization of network ports makes things as complex as possible."
"Customer support can improve."
"Its scalability can be improved. It is too expensive to scale it in the way Palo Alto wants us to scale. Scalability is one of the main reasons why our customer is looking for alternatives. It is too expensive to scale. Its redundancy also requires improvement, but it seems that in the latest version, redundancy is improved, and you can have more than two devices in an HA pair. So, they are heading in that direction. It would be good if they combine their dynamic list functionality in a much better way with Panorama and include it as out-of-the-box functionality. Palo Alto supports the dynamic list functionality for some basic threats, but there is a lot of scope for improvement."
