Thats a silly lawyer move, but I also kind of understand where PA is coming from - the FW space is a crowded, reputation driven world and a lot of classic late 00s companies are struggling to adapt to a less hardware centric space.

That said, build better products, don't take down crappy reviews. I've had terrific experiences with my PA FW's and Panorama isn't too shabby as far as centralized mgmt solutions go - I'd hate to see them throw away all the good will they've built up with stupid choices like this.

It's not just about the reviews. People make careers out of reviewing products. Legal complaints can lead to people be demonetized or deplatformed entirely.

For PA to risk ruining other people's careers (for being honest!) just to artificially inflate the reputation of their own crappy product isn't something I can forgive very easily.

This entire saga literally has nothing to do with firewalls.
