Panorama serves as an on-premises centralized management solution for organizations with multiple NGFWs, available as either a dedicated hardware appliance or virtual machine. Its hierarchical management model enables administrators to define shared policy rules that apply across the entire NGFW estate while still enabling for device-specific configurations when needed. Standout features include template stacks for standardizing network configurations, device groups for organizing security policy rules, and consolidated logging that aggregates security data across all Panorama managed devices.

Panorama excels in providing consistent rule enforcement, simplified compliance management, and reduced administrative overhead in multidevice environments. The solution supports role-based access control for distributed security teams and offers comprehensive change management capabilities including commit previews and audit trails. Panorama is valuable for organizations with regulatory requirements necessitating centralized logging or those maintaining significant on-premises infrastructure.
