"Centralized management is valuable because it allows us to configure settings in one location and apply them across all three locations."
"In Palo Alto the most important feature is the App-ID."
"The VM series has an advantage over the physical version because we are able to change the sources that the machine has, such as the amount of available RAM."
"I like the UI. Most things are accessible from the user interface and it is quite user-friendly. With respect to both VM-based firewalls and physical firewalls, it's easy to create updates."

"One area that can be improved is reducing false positives."
"I would like to see more AI features and capabilities."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing structure and make it more affordable."

"Palo Alto is that it is really bad when it comes to technical support."
"All areas need improvement: manufacturing, education, financial, etc."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"It is not very easy to scale up the solution."
