User reviews
Pan(w)achrome is praised for being a lightweight, professional, and handy Chrome extension that provides quick visibility and monitoring for Palo Alto firewall devices. Users appreciate its ability to summarize key metrics and historical data, aiding effective network management. However, significant issues arise due to incompatibility with recent PAN-OS versions (9.1 and above), causing the extension to malfunction or fail to open. Additional cons include lack of notification control, limitations for non-admin user access, and uncertainties about credential security, with users requesting updates and better support.

- Useful for gaining visibility into network behavior and firewall statistics.
- Allows easy addition and management of firewalls for admin users.
Cons
- Lacks compatibility with PAN-OS versions 9.1 and above, especially 10.x and 10.1.
- Does not open or function properly with newer PAN-OS versions.
- No options to customize or disable frequent Chrome notification popups.
- Limited support for non-admin level users to view firewall statistics.

If someone can look into it and advise what it would take to get it working again with newer version of panos that would be great.

Lachlan Holmes, 2023-11-08Would be wonderful if the tool was updated to support PANOS 10.x. It fills a need thats still missing from the Firewall and Panorama GUI
