    Panorama Balances Ease of Use With Challenges From Regular Software Updates

    4.0
    Feb 3, 2026
    Overall, Panorama is a pretty robust platform. We have never experienced severe functionality issues. However, there have been a number of updates that seem to be happening more regularly. This is likely in response to an increasing number of threats but this still leads to time needed to get used to the product again.
