Palo Alto Networks adheres to a management philosophy that emphasises consistency, providing a significant advantage over competitive offerings. Panorama shares the exact same web-based look and feel as the individual hardware and virtual form-factor firewalls, minimising any learning curve or delay in executing the task at hand. Administrators can centrally perform analysis, reporting and forensics with the aggregated data over time, or on data stored on the local firewall.

The knowledge of what is on the network, in conjunction with safe application enablement policies, maximises protection and control while minimising administrative effort. From a central location, administrators can gain insight into applications, users and content traversing the firewalls. Panorama provides centralised management and visibility of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. The result is an increase in administrative efforts and associated costs. Large enterprises commonly have many firewalls deployed throughout their organisation and more often than not, the process of managing and controlling them is cumbersome due to management complexities and inconsistencies between individual device and centralised management interfaces. Panorama enables administrators to view aggregate or device-specific application, user, and content data and manage multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls-all from a central location.

Panorama is a centralised management system that provides global visibility and control over multiple Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls through an easy to use web-based interface.
