Palo Alto firewalls. A clearer buying decision.
Compare PA-500 and PA-1400 options, plan a new installation or replacement, and request a proposal that explains the hardware, licensing and deployment scope.
Get quote proposal ↗Compare & explore ↓Start with the job the firewall needs to do
A new office or branch
Start with internet links, applications, devices and remote access. The PA-500 family is designed for small organisations and branch offices; validate the selected model against the actual workload.
A firewall replacement
Review current policies, VPNs, traffic and renewal dates before comparing hardware. A larger model does not fix an unclear migration plan.
Plan the migration →Several sites
List the needs of each location. Agree how policies, logging and administration will be managed, then decide whether every site needs the same configuration.
Choose a model to discuss
Each button selects that model in the proposal form below. If you are still comparing, choose Help me choose in the form.
PA-505
Check the power design: unlike other listed PA-500 models, the PA-505 does not support dual power adapters.
Get quote proposalPA-510
Compare the full security workload and port needs with PA-505; a higher model number alone is not a sizing decision.
Get quote proposalPA-520
Include branch uplinks, remote access and growth in the assessment. Ask for a licensed configuration matched to your site.
Get quote proposalPA-540
Bring measured peak traffic and inspection requirements when comparing this model with PA-520.
Get quote proposalPA-545-POE
Consider when the branch design needs PoE. Compare powered-device demand and fibre connections with PA-555-POE.
Get quote proposalPA-550
Ask for a comparison against PA-560 using the same security services and traffic assumptions.
Get quote proposalPA-555-POE
Compare with PA-545-POE when additional PoE connections or 10Gbps-capable fibre interfaces are relevant.
Get quote proposalPA-560
Include forecast traffic, concurrent connections and operational headroom in the proposal request.
Get quote proposalPA-1410
Review a rack-based branch or campus design, including multi-gigabit copper, fibre links and redundancy.
Get quote proposalPA-1420
Compare with PA-1410 when the design calls for more multi-gigabit copper or 10Gbps-capable fibre connections.
Get quote proposalWhat your proposal should make clear
01 · The right scope
Describe the locations, applications and traffic the firewall must protect. Separate essential features from future plans, then compare models against the same requirements.
02 · The complete cost
Request hardware, security subscriptions, support duration, accessories and implementation as separate lines. Compare total scope and renewal terms, not only the appliance price.
03 · A workable deployment
Agree policy review, migration responsibilities, a change window, acceptance checks and handover. A successful purchase includes a plan for putting the firewall into service.
Already using another Palo Alto platform?
PA-400, PA-3400 and larger hardware platforms, VM-Series virtual firewalls and central management have different roles. Share the exact model for a renewal or expansion discussion. Check current lifecycle and availability before specifying a replacement.

How much does a Palo Alto firewall cost in India?
The model is only one part of the price. Ask for hardware, selected security subscriptions, support term, accessories, GST and deployment to be itemised. Availability and the final configuration are confirmed in your proposal; this page does not advertise a fixed price.
Can I choose a firewall using only my employee count?
No. Share peak internet traffic, the proportion of encrypted traffic to inspect, concurrent connections, remote users, branch links and growth plans. Two offices with the same headcount can need different designs.
Can I request a quote before I know the model?
Yes. Select Help me choose in the form. Include your existing firewall, internet links and purchase timeline if you know them. You do not need to submit a network configuration file to start the discussion.
Are security subscriptions included with the appliance?
The exact bundle and term must be stated in the quotation. Ask which security services and support are included, when they start and what renewal covers. Do not assume every capability is included in a hardware-only price.
