The record

Purpose: Panorama centrally configures, manages, and monitors Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
Policy management: It provides a single security rule base for firewalls and related security functions, including threat prevention, URL filtering, application awareness, user identification, and data filtering.
Visibility: Panorama provides a graphical view of applications, URLs, threats, and data traversing managed Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
Grouped configuration: Administrators can use device groups to push configurations to firewalls grouped by business function, location, or other criteria.
Change review: Administrators can use the policy analyzer to evaluate the impact of policy changes before pushing them to managed firewalls.
High availability: Panorama can be configured for high availability to support uninterrupted management and logging capabilities.
Integrations: Its plugin architecture supports integrations including VMware NSX, GlobalProtect cloud service, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, KVM, and ESXi.
Access security: Role-based access control lets administrators restrict access to functions, device groups, templates, and managed firewalls.
Authentication: Panorama supports local authentication and external authentication services including SAML, TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, and Kerberos.
Deployment: The virtual appliance can run on supported public cloud platforms and private hypervisors, with system requirements varying by deployment mode and scale.
Capacity limit: In management-only mode, the documented virtual appliance configurations support management of up to 1,000 devices, with higher capacity requiring additional resources.
Support license: If its support license expires, Panorama can still manage firewalls and collect logs, but software and content updates become unavailable.
API: Panorama supports XML API access, and custom administrator roles can define access privileges for the API.
Intended users: Panorama is aimed at organizations administering multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls across perimeter, data center, cloud, or Prisma Access environments.
