My quick take on what's driving both their revenue growth and efficient expenses? 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬 Impact on Revenue: Palo Alto Networks is able to sell more because companies are looking to consolidate vendors, particularly in this space. Impact on Expenses: Finding platforms that offer multiple solutions elegantly stitched together can be much more efficient for both direct software cost as well as employee time cost.
