Product Review
The Palo Alto PA-3250 firewall delivers a solid throughput performance with 6.3 Gbps firewall throughput and 3 Gbps for threat prevention, adequately supporting medium-sized network environments. However, its VPN throughput caps at 3.2 Gbps, which might limit performance in scenarios with heavy remote access demand. The device offers a comprehensive set of features including a variety of interface modes, robust routing capabilities, and support for a high number of sessions, but its complexity and power consumption could pose challenges for smaller organizations with limited IT resources.
