I use it for two main reasons. In case there is a customer query, Palo Alto firewall is one of the vendors that we support for syslogs, rule management, change management, and traffic monitoring. Our product is used to query the firewall and provide a dashboard that raises alarms if any suspicious activity is detected. It involves the management of the firewall. We have a partnership with Palo Alto, and I have worked with VM-Series. When a customer encounters an issue with our product in accordance with Palo Alto, I analyze the problem and provide solutions. Additionally, I have constructed a lab with network devices for partner training. This lab uses Palo Alto firewalls for communication.
We use Palo Alto Networks VM-Series to offer services to our customers as a managed security service provider. We provide solutions and services to our customers across the globe. For example, if I want to host a firewall in the cloud or somewhere where the physical appliance is not a possibility, we provide that image of the firewall on virtual machines.

Our company sometimes uses a data center edge firewall from Cisco, Fortinet, Forcepoint, or any other vendor, and the solution is used to cover apps and data.
I've mainly worked with the VM-Series, and a few features have been really effective for threat prevention in our networks, like McAfee training, Accountant ID, and apps ID. These features integrate well with our existing environments and tools, such as Panorama.

We use Palo Alto Networks VM-Series for our company's customers, especially those who use Azure Firewall to secure their environment but still want a third-party firewall from companies like Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto in their environment. Whenever our company's customers want to opt for a third-party firewall, we suggest firewall products from companies like Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto. There have been cases where our company's customer who already uses firewall products from Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto deployed on an on-premises model want to shift the same product to the cloud, going on the good experience they have had with the products. If our company's customers are not interested in purchasing a third-party firewall, my company suggests the cloud-native firewall provided by Azure, specifically for their landing zone environment.
We use Palo Alto Networks VM-Series primarily for security purposes. It helps us with URL filtering, domain blocking, threat analysis, and detecting vulnerabilities.
The main concern is VPN. If you're using Azure Firewall, you still need a VPN gateway to terminate your VPN connection. Azure Firewall doesn't remove the need for another VPN gateway, especially for point-to-site VPN. So you have to use another VPN appliance. With Palo Alto and FortiGate, for example, you can have an all-in-one solution. The VPN gateway and all the other features are available.
Ours is an enterprise environment and some of the services are hosted in our private data centers and some of the servers are hosted on Azure. We have the IPSec tunnels from the firewalls to our own data centers and from the firewall to the cloud as well. It depends on the type of application being hosted. We are using Panorama for centralized management of all our firewalls around the world, as well as for centralized management of security policies and network settings. We have not completely migrated to the cloud. We are in transit.
We use the solution for network protection. Previously, I worked for a physical organization, but last year we moved to a Proof of Concept. Following the POC, we had to deploy the solution in three different geographical locations. We deployed all of the Palo Alto solutions in the hub environment and connected them to another node.
Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution. It's only for netting and simple source-destination blocking. The client wanted everything, so they wanted us to implement a third-party solution. Palo Alto was the leading solution. It's easy to install. Palo Alto is dynamic regarding protocol rules, and it is classless. The client also wanted a third-party solution between their on-premise environment and Azure, so they went for Palo Alto. Palo Alto VM-Series is deployed on the Azure Cloud.

We are using it on Azure Cloud for our internal systems, where we have set up our internal workloads. We are using it as a perimeter firewall. We are using it because our internal workflows are on the cloud. Almost everything in our production and development uses these instances. We are using it extensively for conducting reports of the development environment. It is working fine.

We use the solution for hands-on testing purposes and also for activating firewall re-entries, which is easy to accomplish. We only need to turn up the VM to the firewall. This serves users who are working at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We also utilize the solution in respect to several servers which are behind the firewall.

We use Palo Alto for the VPN, firewalls, and the hybrid site-to-site. We have purchased Palo Alto VM for one of our customers. It has been a year since we have been using this product. We use Palo Alto's on-premise version for a different purpose. We are using the cloud version for our contractors to VPN to the AWS environment. For Palo Alto on-premise, we use it more for security firewalls. On the cloud side, we use it for customer contractors to get into the AWS environment for VPN. we use native routing and native security tools that they developed already in AWS.
Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is a highly effective advanced threat protection (ATP) solution and firewall that can be hosted on cloud computing technologies designed by many different companies. It decreases the amount of time that it will take administrators to respond to threats. Users that deploy VM-series have 70% less downtime than those who use similar firewalls. Neither protection nor efficiency are concerns when this next-generation firewall is in play.
