    Overview

    Play video

    VM-Series, when combined with native AWS services, enable you to create "touchless" deployments and allow your developers to operate at the speed of the cloud. VM-Series protects your applications and data using whitelisting and segmentation policies that are dynamically updated based on AWS tags, allowing you to reduce the attack surface area and achieve compliance. Additionally, threat prevention policies can stop both known and unknown attacks.

    VM-Series now supports DPDK on the C5, C5n, M5, and M5n instances, running on the AWS Nitro System, to efficiently process traffic and offer increased performance. In addition, Panorama (available separately in Marketplace) allows the VM-Series to be managed centrally alongside our firewall appliances to maintain security policies that are consistent with on-premises environments.

    There are three PAYG bundles available. The licenses includes are as follows: Bundle 1: VM-Series+Threat Prevention+USG (US Government) Support Bundle 2: VM-Series+Threat Prevention+URL Filtering+DNS Security+Global Protect+WildFire+USG (US Government) Support. Link: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-wsu46li6jw3je  Bundle 3: VM-Series+Advanced Threat Prevention+Advanced URL Filtering+DNS Security+Global Protect+WildFire+USG (US Government) Support. Link: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-gfbcyenj6z75u

    • Dynamic and large scale deployments can be protected using AWS Auto Scaling/ELB integration and Transit VPC with AWS Transit Gateway and Gateway Load Balancer

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    See documentation for detailed steps to set admin password before using the web interface of VM-Series. Once the instance is running, connect to it using a SSH client with the private key file used to launch the instance. For example: ssh -i <privatekey.pem> admin@<EIP or private IP of eth0> Then use the PAN-OS CLI commands "configure", "set mgt-config users admin password" and "commit" commands to set the password.

    Great VM series Virtual firewall by Palo Alto Networks

    Reviewed on Feb 20, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The integration with various cloud providers is really amazing. I use AWS, it helps me integrate with it. But it’s not limited to AWS- we can work and integrate with Azure, GCP etc.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The complexity while setting up the VM series virtual firewall is bit tricky and time consuming. Also with Infrastructure as Code tools it’s not really great.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use Terraform in my daily work, so it really helps me in automating my deployments with secured way. Moreover the security is stand out point I’ll say when we compare with other tools.

    Palo Alto vm solution fitted perfectly to Us

    Reviewed on Feb 19, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I have worked with global enterprise clients using different Network VM solutions and Palo Alto worked for us for two main aspects: having PA deployed universally on all our firewalls facilated the internal management of our naas by our team and the support from PA when needed was always spot on.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    VM firewalls can only have 9 DP interfaces that's a limitation that this kind of product has
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    For our Naas architecture we benefited in terms of automation of the policy and device management, cost efficiency and scalability. In fact having several customers we often need to modificate policy and configuration and to rather migrate, change the architcture or install or dismiss new firewalls. So having an unique system like the PA solution is huge benefit for us.

    Review - VM series Virtual Firewall

    Reviewed on Feb 19, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I really like the advanced threat protection it offers, it is a stand out feature for me. Also it integrates really well with all cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP etc.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The Terraform support is not that much good I'll say. Also costing is bit higher. And the initial setup seems complex to me.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It actually enhances security beyond typical firewalls like Azure or AWS ones. It automates deployments using Terraform scripts which is helpful for me.

    Easy deployment to secure Cloud workloads

    Reviewed on Feb 09, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Well, there are many positive aspects of this virtual FW. The majority ones are - quick and easy deployment, features go beyond layer 3/4, Integration with other third-party softwares for enhanced monitoring and off course user friendly GUI.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    High cost is the major drawback when compared with other competitors in the market. All firewall features are not bundled being said that need licensing for some advanced features. As virtual VM it consumes high amount of resources and need a larger appliance to run VM.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    App based filtering, IDS and IPS, enhanced monitoring etc
