Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Reviews

We use it for all next-gen firewall features such as ACLS, application monitoring, security, virtual networking, etc.

The feature that I have found the most useful is that it meets all our requirements technically. 

Its web interface is a bit outdated, and it needs to be updated. 

They can also improve the NAT functionality. We have had issues with the NAT setup.

I have been using this solution for the last five years. 

It has good stability. We haven't had any issues, and it has never been down. 

It is scalable. It has handled the network very well with our growth in the last five years. 

I haven't directly contacted them, but based on what I have heard from our network team, they are pretty quick at getting back to us. 

It was complex. We used a lot of professional service hours. 

We had an in-house team as well as a consultant. 

I would definitely recommend this solution. It comes under the top industry leaders and is comparable to other top products in this category. 

I would rate Palo Alto Networks VM-Series a nine out of ten. 

We use it to secure all traffic leaving and entering AWS.

It allows us to see all our traffic to properly secure it and only allow what is needed through the firewall.

• Full content inspection
• Visibility into the traffic in AWS.

There is work to be done on the integration side, as AWS doesn't integrate well with third-party firewalls.

I would like to see AWS have more integration with Palo Alto from a routing standpoint, so it could become a routing egress without having to redesigning it.

It is very stable, and we are not putting stress on it.

It is fairly scalable. We have a couple hundred servers already.

They are the leading next-generation firewall. I would recommend deploying a next-generation firewall.

I am using the on-premise and AWS version. They are exactly the same.

The tool's cloud version makes application migration easy. 

Palo Alto Networks VM-Series needs to improve its order process. 

I have been working with the solution for two years. 

I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten. 

Palo Alto Networks VM-Series' deployment is not difficult. 

The solution is expensive. I rate its pricing a three out of ten. 

Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is an enterprise product because it is costly. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for IT. I am from the Palo Alto Partner end, so I am not using it deliberately. I usually deploy to clients in various industries, including the payment gateway industry. 

In Palo Alto the most important feature is the App-ID. It's the biggest selling point in my opinion.

Another important application feature is the Content-ID.

The solution offers great templates.

Overall, the solution has a lot of great features on offer.

Even when the solution locks away a virus, there seems to be a delay for four or five minutes. It should be as little as one. Right now, it's such a long delay. It can be frustrating for clients and I need to answer a lot of questions surrounding that.

The solution needs to have more easily searchable details or documentation about it online, so it's easier to Google if you have queries.

The solution requires more use cases.

I've been on this Firewall for the last two years.

The stability is very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes. It's very reliable.

Although I haven't personally tried to scale the solution, my understanding is that it's easy to do so. It's convenient for enterprises. It's my understanding it would scale especially well for enterprises.

I've had to reach out to technical support many times. Sometimes, I find that it can take a while to reach support, or for them to get back to us. This is especially true on weekends and holidays. Other than that, it's been pretty good. We're pretty satisfied with the level of support we get.

I only have experience with Palo Alto; I don't know much about other VM firewall solutions.

The initial setup is not complex. It's quite straightforward. The deployment process is great. It only takes about five to ten minutes or so.

I handle the maintenance and troubleshoot any issues that arise. 

I mostly figured out the deployment myself and used Google to assist when I had questions.

I don't have any dealings with the accounting side of the solution. That's handled by someone else. I'm not sure what the cost is or if we pay monthly or yearly.

We're partners with Palo Alto. We're using the latest version of the solution.

We have a VM-Series via Palo Alto and K2K and the hardware Series.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We are a solution provider and the Palo Alto VM-Series is one of the products that we implement for our customers. Our customers use this virtualized next-generation firewall as part of their security solution.

The VM series has an advantage over the physical version because we are able to change the sources that the machine has, such as the amount of available RAM. With a physical machine, you cannot the resources without adding something to the machine.

The management can be done from a single console window.

The implementation should be simplified.

We have been using the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series for three years. 

This solution is stable.

The VM-Series is a scalable product.

The support is good.

The implementation involves setting up policies.

We deploy this product with our in-house team.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We usually recommend Palo Alto Networks VM-Series for BFSI companies.

I find Palo Alto Networks VM-Series easy to deploy, and none of my customers have had significant complaints. My customers have high certifications provided by Palo Alto Networks. The friendly dashboard and the ability to easily command and use the CLI make Palo Alto Networks VM-Series a better product. It offers robust solutions, making it valuable to my customers.

It may be beneficial if the firewall can monitor all internal elements like VMs pulling from HP servers. Consolidating these insights into a single dashboard would be advantageous.

I have been familiar with Palo Alto Networks for four or five years.

The performance of VM instances has some limitations in terms of threshold and throughput compared to appliances.

I would rate scalability as eight out of ten.

Palo Alto Networks offers better technical support, maintaining SLA efficiently, and resolving issues promptly.

Positive

In some cases, I have migrated from Cisco to Palo Alto Networks VM-Series smoothly.

Pricing for Palo Alto Networks is higher than other OEMs, but considering the robustness and features, it gains customer trust. Technical configuration is a focus area due to its high commercial profile.

I consider Check Point alongside Palo Alto Networks, as well as Cisco for wireless solutions.

When evaluating, consider the customer’s environment and pain points since both Check Point and Palo Alto Networks have their advantages. Overall, I rate Palo Alto Networks VM-Series eight out of ten.
