Good experience with Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Firewall

I love the consistency of the firewall, it generally works well. It works well enough that most of the time I don't realize that it's doing anything at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I enjoy Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Firewall, however there are times when there are outages with it that are quite inconvenient at times. Generally I don't have issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the issue of preventing bad actors from accessing the same network that I use on a daily basis at my place of business. It also solves the problem of creating an in-house firewall.
My Review of Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Firewall
What do you like best about the product?
My role as a Cyber Security Engineer in the Caribbean's leading MSPs has had me involved with all sorts of technoliogies and after testing this vm for myself left me astounded with the Strong Security and Threat protection including Deep pack inspectopon, threat prevention against the latest vulnerabilites is a strong backing for any firewall. Along with the Cloud Integration for the different platform like Azure and AWS make deployment so much easier.
The UI that is built into the Palo Alto Firewall is a breeze to use and makes implementation less of a hastle.

There is minimal things I personally dislike about the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Firewall but it was noticed that during peak traffic the performance has seen a drastic dip once a lot of traffic is transversing the network. Also tied with the high cost of licensing will add to the cons.

The company is really great. It provides good insights. I really wish I could get a chance to work with this esteem corporation. I really hope this company spread across USA

It provides protection for the system. Great firewall protection. Everyone should have this Virtual Firewall. I really heard great things about it from other users as well.

User's frequently call for lost access to an application that requires the VPN and Palo Alto makes it easy for me to troubleshoot their connection issue.
Installing virtual PA firewalls on Nutanix, VMWare
What do you like best about the product?
The VM-series firewalls worked as intended, and we were able to automate the installation of them as well. I liked the level of integration there was with ansible for configuring the firewall settings. This was very useful when running throughput testing across a variety of firewall configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing was complicated, and this created difficulties when trying to automate the installation of the firewalls. It was challenging to try to automate VM-series firewalls using Terraform, especially for VMWare, because of the need to attach an additional CD with the pre-configuration settings.
Also, the VM-series seems to be well-optimized for VMWare, but not really for KVM-based hypervisors like Nutanix. We did extensive throughput testing, comparing the hypervisors, and the firewall on VMWare performed better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to virtualize the firewall helped us be more flexible with our hardware costs. We could purchase virtual infrastructure instead of dedicated firewall hardware.
I have had a great experience with VM. Setting it up in AWS was straightforward and not complicated.
What do you like best about the product?
VM-series improved our network security and it ran smoothly. Really good against malware and threats. I also liked the Cloud Integration, it works across public and private cloud environments (AWS, VMware)

Probably the price range. It is a little bit overpriced. The security features are impressive, but i do dislike the high cost. The annual fees can be quite expense which can be tough for smaller businesses.

For me Palo Alto Networks VM-Series helped with prevent attacks like malmware and other real time threat analysis. VM-series made it also easier to automate deployments with other security systems.

The problem of cloud security is huge as far as cybersecurity is concerned. This product has helped deal with these challenges and has helped us get better results.

Most helpful thing is being able to have 360 degrees view and protection of all my network. A thing that I am really pleased is that is it user friendly and very intuitive.
