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.

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.

Review of Palo Alto VM-Series: Pros and Cons for Secure Virtualized Environments
What do you like best about the product?
Palo Alto VM-Series apart is its ability to provide advanced security capabilities such as threat prevention, application visibility, and user identification in virtualized environments. Its granular visibility and control over application traffic and the ability to apply security policies consistently across physical and virtual networks are particularly valuable in multi-cloud environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost: The VM-Series can be more expensive than other virtualized firewall solutions, and organizations may need to invest in additional licenses and hardware resources to fully utilize the product's capabilities.
Resource-intensive: Running Palo Alto VM-Series requires significant CPU and memory resources, which may not be available on smaller virtualization hosts or cloud instances. This can result in performance issues and increased infrastructure costs.
Learning curve: As with any advanced security solution, there is a learning curve associated with deploying and managing Palo Alto VM-Series. Administrators will need to familiarize themselves with the product's user interface, policies, and configurations, which can take time and effort.
Vendor lock-in: Because Palo Alto VM-Series is a proprietary solution, organizations may be locked into using it for their virtualized firewall needs. This can limit their flexibility and ability to adopt other security solutions that may be a better fit for their needs.
Limited integrations: While Palo Alto VM-Series integrates well with other Palo Alto Networks products and a variety of third-party solutions, there may be some integrations that are not available or require custom development work

Advanced Threat Prevention: One of the biggest challenges in securing virtualized environments is detecting and preventing advanced threats, such as malware and zero-day attacks. Palo Alto VM-Series offers advanced threat prevention capabilities, including network-based malware detection, behavioral analysis, and sandboxing, which can help organizations detect and prevent advanced threats before they can cause damage.
Application Visibility and Control: Another challenge in securing virtualized environments is gaining visibility and control over application traffic. Palo Alto VM-Series provides granular visibility and control over application traffic, enabling organizations to create policies that enforce application usage and protect against data exfiltration.
