Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls
Best for: Large companies wanting one policy across all firewall types
It leads this list because one policy runs across every form factor, so your data center, cloud and container firewalls do not drift apart. That suits mid-market and enterprise estates with many sites and clouds. Ask which of the added services, such as SASE, AI app security and IoT, you need now, because each one widens the deal.
