Hello Rjkhatri, I would prefer to go with PAN-DB for below mentioned reasons: A. URL filtering is a key component of content-ID, and having full ownership of that technology allows Palo Alto Networks to fully integrate it with PAN-OS and control the quality of the product. It also allows one single point of contact for customers, should any issues arise. Additionally, the nature of web traffic patterns is unique to each individual customer, based on their user-base and business needs, which dictates a new approach to URL filtering that is more dynamic and adaptable to the user traffic. PAN-DB is initialized with a regional seed database and then automatically customizes itself based on actual web traffic observed. Other solutions utilize a single database that contains the most commonly used URLs worldwide, which may not be effective in certain cases. B. Better performance - faster URL category returns and higher capacity caches due to a more efficient database structure, thereby reducing the number of overall dynamic lookups over time For Example On a PA-5060: BrightCloud can cache max 100K/1M entries for DP/MP PAN-DB can cache max 200K/4.2M entries for DP/MP C. Automatic customization – PAN-DB automatically customizes itself based on the actual web traffic observed in each individual customer’s user-base. D. Instant updates – devices remain in-sync with the cloud and can receive critical database updates almost immediately, eliminating the need to wait for daily full database updates and/or cache timeouts. I hope this helps. Thanks
