Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: High firewall and threat prevention throughput for a 2U appliance; 3.6M max sessions and 295,000 new sessions/sec suit data center and high-traffic edge deployments; 25G and 40G/100G port options with breakout support; optional redundant power supply; 4,094 802.1Q VLAN tags per device; supports L2, L3, tap, virtual wire and 802.3ad/LACP aggregation; full PAN-OS feature set and App-ID, Threat Prevention and WildFire subscriptions
  • ✘ Cons: Premium price, with reseller pricing ranging from roughly $78K to $118K and quote-based pricing common; throughput figures differ across datasheet versions and resellers, so sizing requires checking the current official datasheet; threat prevention throughput is roughly 40% below firewall throughput with full inspection enabled; only 10 virtual systems in the base configuration, with extra VSYS requiring a separate license; full functionality depends on recurring subscription licenses; power, port layout and dimensions could not be verified from official sources
  • Est. Price: $78,473 - $117,789
