The best firewall
Robust firewall technology. It's reliable, resourceful, and easy to manage.
After years deploying and managing other brands, I found a great product and I'm happy so have it available for AWS.
Integration in AWS is well documented and easy to follow.

Deep Experience with PaloAlto VM series
Easy to access through console, SSH, or GUI.
Implementation is much easier by using scripts.
Support is not bad.
I used to deal with PaloAlto daily and troubleshoot from time to time.
Integration with other software is easier depending on the cloud platform.
Customer support is not providing the expected support immediately, we have to wait until we get a senior engineer.

Next Gen Firewall VM Series with complete app control
Así mismo el poder identificar las amenazas desconocidas por medio de la plataforma de Wildfire.
Horribly Slow!
Earlier versions are super slow to launch (pass basic status checks), and super slow to bootstrap (respond even on ssh port). The latest version fails to launch fast enough to get past the basic status checks (10 minute timeout), and there is no means to alter this timeout for an auto scaling group (not the same timeout has HealthCheckGracePeriod). If you're designing for high availability, this is not the product for you.
Good solution with new feature
Once a mighty company
I've been an advocate for using Palo Alto firewalls for over a decade. They were so far ahead of everyone else. The gap has closed quite signficantly, and they still shine when it comes to being a full layer 7 firewall. The problem is that the company has grown too large and the product has tons of bugs, support is non-existent. They hire people off the streets to support them because they have such a large customer base, and these "off the street" people in turn hire people with even less skill than them. It's a crap shoot when deploying PANS these days, as you run into all kinds of issues, and don't even think about opening a case. You will have to invest tons of times to over explain the issue, be fed with useless documents (you can find those yourself), and escalate multiple times, and then if you're lucky, you may find someone that can find a bug , which will almost never get fixed.
