PAN has long been a star NSS’s in network security tests. However, Juniper is on par for both security effectiveness and TCO.
• PAN did not participate in HA testing, which is suspicious because it is a core capability for DC security.
• Although PAN submitted their PA-5250, and performed roughly equal in performance to the Juniper SRX5400, when tested for HTTP capacity with persistent connections, PAN’s results were about half of Juniper’s.
