Additionally, threat prevention policies can stop both known and unknown attacks.

    Highlights

    • An AWS Network Competency and Security Competency approved solution that complements native AWS security with real-time threat and data theft prevention
    • 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.

    Flexible virtual firewall with strong security features

    Reviewed on Aug 25, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The most helpful aspect of the VM-Series is its flexibility in virtualized environments. It allows us to enforce consistent security policies across multiple cloud and on-premises instances, giving strong visibility into traffic and applications. Automated threat detection and AI-driven alerts help us respond to incidents faster, reducing the time spent on manual monitoring. The integration with our existing cloud infrastructure has also simplified management and improved overall efficiency.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The initial deployment can be complex, especially when scaling across multiple virtual networks. Fine-tuning policies and integrating with other monitoring tools took longer than expected, requiring extra training for the team. Pricing can become significant as the number of virtual instances grows. While the firewall is powerful, the documentation could be more user-friendly for first-time administrators.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The VM-Series Virtual Firewall has helped us centralize security across multiple virtualized environments, including cloud and on-premises workloads. Before using it, managing separate firewalls for each instance created inefficiencies and increased the risk of misconfigurations. Now we can enforce consistent policies, detect threats faster, and reduce manual monitoring. This has improved our incident response times and overall confidence in network security. However, setting up complex policies and integrating with existing monitoring tools still requires extra effort, and scaling the solution can increase costs.

    VM-Series: The next-generation of firewall

    Reviewed on Aug 05, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like the fact that the firewall has a relatively low false-positive rates. Also, you can get all the PAN-OS features without waiting for the vendor to port them. This was kind of time-consuming part. The single-pass classification with the flow is also easy to use without much complication. I didn't need much support, which was also a good thing when using the product. The logging is incredible and very well organized with rich metadata.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    When we have people new to the product, they need kind of training because they don't know how to work with the PAN-OS. So onboarding these guys is quiete heavy in terms of training. Also, the frequency of PAN-OS upgrades is relatively high, which I need all the time to restart the service. We have also noticed more recently that when using a high traffic (e.g., PPS) or even large number of IPS signatures, the hypervisor is getting stressed. Some colleagues from different companies also noticed the same issue.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The business problems I am working with are the detection of malicious traffic before they reach the infrastructure, as we need better visibility and high quality of logging and metadata. This is very important in our process.

    Amazing virtual firewall

    Reviewed on Jun 25, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    One of the best to provide security to cloud infrastructures. Posses the ability to inspect the traffic in-depth and analyze before actually processing to the next hop.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    It’s that it’s virtual. Completely dependent on the physical hardware if it’s hosting multiple vm firewalls. Failure to one physical hardware can lead to multiple vms failure
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    As said we use the firewall for in depth inspection of the incoming traffic coming to the corporate network and minimize the risks by providing security to the private and hybrid cloud infrastructures

    Solid Virtual Firewall with Enterprise-Grade Security

    Reviewed on Jun 14, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    One of the things that really impressed me about Palo Alto Networks VM-Series is how well they’ve integrated machine learning directly into the firewall. It’s not just a buzzword here you can actually see it working.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While the security capabilities are excellent, the initial learning curve with Palo Alto VM-Series can be pretty steep, especially if you're new to their platform or coming from more traditional firewall vendors.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The biggest problem VM-Series is solving for us is securing complex, distributed cloud environments without sacrificing visibility or control. We run workloads across multiple clouds and on-prem, and having a consistent firewall and security policy across all those platforms is a huge win. VM-Series gives us that single security layer no matter where our applications live.
