Replacing the vm-series firewall with prisma access

[AkashThangavel]

Hi,

I want to replace the VM-Series firewall with Prisma Access, but I need to weigh the pros and cons before moving to this setup. Therefore, I would appreciate your input in providing a solution for this SASE architecture.

Here are a few points I have collected:

1. Low latency in Prisma Access: Since we will spin up the nearest gateway based on major user logins, considering the VM-Series firewall for GP connections, SASE will be more effective.
2. Management and scalability: With high resource utilization, this is handled by Palo Alto itself. However, with the VM-Series firewall, we would need to maintain the IaaS.

If anyone has additional points that need to be addressed in the SASE architecture, it would be very helpful.

regards,
