Enables real-time inspection for vendor security
What is our primary use case?
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Palo Alto Networks VM-Series for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product has good scalability. We have small to enterprise businesses as our clients for it.
How are customer service and support?
As per premium support licenses, we received 24/7 support services. Apart from that, they join the calls quickly to resolve the issues for distributors' performance.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. We managed and configured it with the help of existing management tools and courses. We deployed it on the cloud and on-premises.
The deployment time depends on specific business requirements and bandwidth. It takes around one to two weeks to migrate and configure for large organizations. For small organizations, it takes one or two days to complete.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is costly but provides all essential security features. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
VM-Series enhances the security of our virtualized infrastructure. It ensures that every interaction, pre and post-loan processing, undergoes a thorough inspection, leveraging VPN features and comprehensive security protocols. It reviews the data for encryption and decryption before sending it to the server.
By applying Palo Alto's robust security measures, we enhanced the overall security posture of the cloud development process. Generally, it is challenging to scale hardware while increasing the bandwidth. When it comes to VM-Series, it is more scalable than other firewalls.
Certainly, the prevention capabilities can have an impact on bandwidth. Without the imposition of security profiles, the bandwidth can operate at its full capacity, reaching up to 100 Gbps. However, upon introducing security profiles, there may be a slight decrease in bandwidth due to the utilization of a software control plan and software data plan. The data plan involves a parallel processing mechanism, incorporating multi-scan and multi-action functions. While this may introduce a minimal latency, it efficiently prevents threats with lesser bandwidth. The operation efficiency is enhanced after the deployed VM-Series. We can easily fetch all licensing details, including serial numbers.
I rate it a nine out of ten.
A stable and straightforward solution that provides valuable features and strengthens an organization’s IT posture
What is our primary use case?
We are using the solution for IDS, IPS, and security.

IDS, IPS, web filtering, and URL filtering are valuable features. Palo Alto is a good product. We have become a major reseller of the product. The tool is beneficial to us. The solution strengthens our IT posture.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good. The vendor communicates about the releases in advance. We keep updating the operating systems based on compliance and security notifications.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability might be an issue for large organizations. The throughput is a challenge. Multiple segregations need to be done. More than 40 customers are using the solution. We don't face challenges in deployment and maintenance.
How are customer service and support?
The support is responsive.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is not complex, but it is not simple. We get everything from Microsoft Marketplace. We buy the license outside Microsoft Marketplace because it is more cost-effective. All our VMs are deployed on the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The license fee is slightly high. We must choose the right licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Palo Alto’s compatibility and integrations are better than Juniper's. Zscalrer’s Zero Trust solution is better than Palo Alto’s. We recommend Palo Alto over Fortinet, Juniper, or Check Point. Palo Alto is less complicated.
What other advice do I have?
Palo Alto is a straightforward solution. The solution does not have any negative impacts on our organization. Overall, I rate the product a nine or nine and a half out of ten.
Leader in Next Gen Firewall segment
What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto NextGen Firewall comes first when it comes to new feature releases. Any new update by Gartner on new trends gets added to PA Firewall first. Other vendors follows them. The UI is intuitive with lots of online documentation for assistance. Best part is one can configure everything without involving their Support team just by going through indepth detailed and up to date documentation. No other competitors in the market can match their level. We have been using PA firewall for deployment to our customer on prem sites. They have lot if integration options available which boosts the overall value they provide. API availability helps in automating tasks either using postman/ansible/python scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although you can configure most of it from scratch, but you will need support assistance when troubleshooting any issue. That is when you'll see delays in reponse which adds up to the frustration. We feel bug fixes are also bit slow.

We are a SDWAN company that deploys multiple vendors firewalls on customer's location.

Indiretly, this is helping us in our revenue growth year by year.
