Usability
No answers on this topic
It is very easy to use and setup. It integrates well within all of Palo's products such as NGFWs and Prisma Access. There is a dedicated log inside of Palo products for URL filtering to aid in troubleshooting. It integrates with AD/Azure so that different users can have different URL filtering rules. Filtering can be adjusted in real-time

Palo support is excellent, and I have never had to wait when contacting them for support. One of the best support teams in the business, in my opinion.

Barracuda was a good product but couldn't keep up with our needs as we grew bigger. Forcepoint had the worst technical support I've ever seen. Palo outshines them all.
