Intelligent firewall and VMware NSX support.
We implemented the VM-200 firewall in some branches during the pandemic in 2020 to protect the internal network, interconnect some sites with site-to-site vpn and mainly create an environment for mobility and remote work using the remote vpn. The virtual firewall was implemented in VMware environment on existing servers. The PaloAlto VM-200 offers high throughput, reliability, security and access control of devices, web and applications with a layer 7 firewall. Most of the problems were solved with this solution integrated with other tools to make remote work more flexible and improve the internal network protection from external threats and data theft.
- Virtualized firewall.
- Rack and datacenter space savings.
- Optimized for medium density of concurrently connected users.
- Site to site VPN.
- Remote VPN.
- URL and application control for users.
- It does not support SSL decription for high throughput of connections.
- Guaranteed use of licenses are expensive.

Very strong product
Palo Alto Networks Virtualized Next-Generation Firewalls VM series are next generation firewalls that could be deployed on-premises or in cloud. They are used especially in urgent needs to establish new firewall instance with high capacities. and could be easily duplicated and saved in case of failures. I already installed many Vm series in many network environments.
- user identification
- application filtering
- clustering
- dashboards
- GUI
- price

Best in class Datacenter Solution
We decided to purchase VM Series because we implement micro-segmentation into the Datacenter. We needed performance, scalability, and l7 feature are using Palo Alto physical appliances so why not implement their VM Solution into a High Density VMWare environment
- L7 Firewall policies
- Virtualized performance
- Credit usage to scaleup o scaledown solution
- SD-WAN implementation
- No compatibility with OpenVPN clients
- Historical logging

Palo Alto Firewall is The Firewall of the Future.
The Palo Alto Networks Virtualized Next-Generation Firewall is deployed at one of our customers' datacenter. It is serving as a parameter firewall and a site-to-site VPN gateway. It is running Global Protect for management access out of band access. The firewall protects against threats via websites and emails. Any attempts to breach the firewall is logged and an email is sent to all administrators including management and a ticket is logged.
- Sink holing access to command and control threats
- Deep packet inspection
- Secure remote access VPN via Global protect
- High Availability can be improved to allow active-active deployment
- All command line documentation to provide and support automation
- It will be nice to have link aggregation just like in the hardware firewall models.

Awesome Secure Web Gateway
The solution is used across the entire enterprise. We monitor web traffic and decrypt SSL traffic with these units. The decision to decrypt traffic was a difficult decision but the correct one for the organization. This provides more visibility into what is traversing the network and helps IT determine what has actually occurred should there be any kind of incident.
- Decrypt internet traffic
- daily reporting of top internet users
- classify internet traffic in real-time to allow us to understand the organization needs.
- Strong AI capabilities
- needs SD-WAN and cloud security in an integrated solution.
- need stronger state-side support
- requires significant compute resources

Secure Public Cloud
Palo Alto VM series firewalls are used across the organization in protecting our public cloud environment.
Demand in the public cloud is ever-growing. More companies are now migrating to public cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP). Public cloud environments also need to be equally secured as on-prem environment. Palo Alto VM series firewalls allow you to replicate the same level of security on public cloud as well.

- Securing public cloud on same level as an on-premise environment.
- Ease of migration and management, similar to physical infrastructure.
- Provide same level of security features as physical firewall.
- Pay-per-use and flexibility in licensing.

PAN - Solid Choice!
PAN has been a fantastic boon to our users by doing full inline threat protection, Easy VPN configuration, including a uniform interface that scales from small devices to large devices.
- Easy deployment.
- Backups, snapshotting, etc. make returning to pre-change state a snap.
- Threat management, data leak protection, etc. can be done in-line with ease.
- I feel like there is not enough of a support community, similar to checkpoint.
- VPN client is not as user-friendly as Anyconnect.
- No root access to device.
We've been using the VM-series Palo Alto solution in a two-unit HA configuration running on our hardware as an affordable alternative to the PA-series hardware firewalls, without sacrificing speed or features. It services both outbound browsing (NAT, URL-based and deep inspection security) and inbound firewall (signature-based attack mitigation) needs. The AD/Exchange agents make it simple to manage by user, not by device.
- GlobalProtect SSL-VPN/IPsec server and client are top notch.
- The web interface and CLI are both very well documented and easy to use.
- Technical support is knowledgeable and treats tier 1 issues with all due haste.
- Sometimes the configuration gets out of sync between HA peers, it won't sync, and it also won't say why.
- Every time I log in I get warned that the logfile partition is almost full. Yes, I know that, you're deleting the oldest ones, I know: stop telling me about it with a giant pop-up at login.
- I like green, but I wish I could choose mauve as a background color for the web interface.
