Management Tools
Managing network security can be a difficult task. Keeping up with the latest threats, monitoring the next hacking trend and dealing with employee adds, moves and changes can make for a very busy day. Cryptic, inconsistent security device management tools only make the administrator’s life more difficult.
Keeping ease of use and consistency as key development goals, the Palo Alto Networks management tools make security policy management a straightforward process, using visualization tools, common application names and standard security terminology.
| Panorama Centralized Management | PA-4000 Series Web Interface | |
| Multi-device management | Yes | No |
| Global view of all devices | Yes | No |
| Global logging/reporting | Yes | No |
| Application Command Center | Yes | Yes |
| App-Scope | Yes | Yes |
| Policy Editor | Yes | Yes |
| Web-based interface | Yes | Yes |
| Requires management client | No | No |
The web interfaces for both Panorama and the PA-4000 Series have the exact same look and feel, thereby minimizing the learning curve often associated with switching from one interface to another. If the need to move from one interface to another during a configuration or policy edit arises, the most current configuration is always used, eliminating possible out-of-sync configurations.
Panorama provides centralized visibility, control and management over multiple Palo Alto Networks’ firewalls. LEARN MORE 
Both Panorama and the web-interface facilitate the creation and deployment of application usage control policies through a powerful set of visualization tools and an intuitive policy editor.
Application Command Center provides a visual summary of the applications traversing the network, categorized by sessions, bytes, ports, threats and time. LEARN MORE
App-Scope gives administrators a comparative view of network activity to help pinpoint erratic behavior. LEARN MORE
Policy Editor has a familiar look and feel, allowing administrators to quickly create and deploy networks security policies. LEARN MORE
