The Verdict
LastPass is built for individuals and families, with a focus on password-vault and auto-fill. Palo Alto Networks targets large enterprises and security operations centers and leads with next-gen-firewall and cloud-security.
Palo Alto Networks uses custom enterprise pricing, while LastPass starts at $3/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
LastPass has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Palo Alto Networks requires a paid subscription from day one.
Palo Alto Networks edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 3.9). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Palo Alto Networks has a slight overall edge — but if intuitive interface for password management matters most to you, LastPass may still be the right call.
