Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Competitive Performance for Distributed Enterprise and SMB Use Cases

You don’t have to trade security for performance.

Some organizations believe they can’t fully secure branches and small offices locally without compromising performance. Because they need cost-effective security, IT teams choose low-cost appliances, not realizing they aren’t getting predictable performance.

Alternatively, some IT teams disable security features to increase throughput, putting organizations at risk for cyberattacks.

Miercom, an independent network and security testing organization, put our PA-400 Series Next-Generation Firewall and a similarly priced Fortinet firewall through rigorous testing, and the report results are clear. The PA-400 series:

• Maintains predictable throughput with services on while Fortinet showed significant performance degradation
• Offers up to 6X better performance
• Provides up to 9X lower TCO

Read the report to find out what was tested and how. Make sure you’re getting uncompromising network security for your branches and small offices.
