Why Palo Alto firewalls are the expert’s firewall of choice

When you’re looking for a managed security service provider, you want to be sure of two things. First, that they know what they’re talking about. Second, that they’re using the best technology available. At Intellesec, we tick both boxes. Demonstrated perfectly by the fact that the next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto that we’ve always championed have just won yet another “Customer’s Choice” award from reviewers at Gartner Peer Insights. Read on to find out why we, and they, wouldn’t choose anything other than Palo Alto firewalls.

Leading the way in next-generation firewalls

IT software ratings and reviews site Gartner Peer Insights recently awarded Palo Alto Networks their coveted “Customers’ Choice” distinction in the 2021 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer”: Network Firewalls report. In which, Palo Alto customers gave the global leaders in cybersecurity products an emphatic rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. Reviewers also said that they would highly recommend Palo Alto firewalls to their peers.

Palo Alto was the only vendor to be awarded Customers’ Choice distinctions in all three regions covered in Gartner’s report: APAC, EMEA and North America. Gartner’s reviews are written by verified IT professionals and technology decision-makers. They set the benchmark for IT leaders worldwide to make informed buying decisions. More than a decade after launching its industry-defining next-generation firewall (NGFW), Palo Alto is still way out in front with their NGFW innovations.

Responding to the latest in a long line of accolades for their next-generation firewalls, Palo Alto said on their official blog: “We’re proud to have the confidence of our customers, and we’re grateful that so many of them took the time to provide thoughtful feedback. In recent months we’ve [also] been named a Leader in several other major analyst reports that demonstrate our commitment to innovation in network security.”

Managed firewalls give you several layers of defence

Of course, we’re not surprised that customers love Palo Alto’s firewalls here at Intellesec. We do too. This is why we only use their firewall products. After all, what’s not to love? They’ve produced the world’s first machine learning-powered next-generation firewalls, which prevent 95% of most new and unknown file or web-based cyber threats. They also reduce system infections by a remarkable 99.5%.

One Gartner reviewer, a principal security analyst working within the healthcare industry, summed it up nicely when they said that Palo Alto firewalls gave them “excellent visibility and threat detection/prevention”, enabling their security team to “investigate with confidence” and “quickly obtain the necessary information required to protect the organization.” In other words, it allows you be more proactive against cyber risks.
