✔ Pros:Silent fanless design ideal for office environments; High 1.5 Gbps SD-WAN and VPN throughput; Integrated PoE++ (802.3bt) support up to 60W per port; Fail-to-wire bypass ports for high availability.
✘ Cons:High entry price and dependency on recurring Prisma SD-WAN subscription licenses; Lacks 10GbE connectivity which may bottleneck future growth; Advanced security features often require cloud offloading (SASE).
✔ Pros:Industry-leading 5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput for its price point; Dual 3.5" NVR bays with RAID support; 2.5 GbE and 10G SFP+ WAN options; Shadow Mode for high availability.
