I demo'd one for about 3 months. I really wasn't overly impressed. I definitely thought the DPI on a SonicWALL was much more intensified than on the Palo Alto

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I think a PAN firewall was probably the greatest purchase I've made in the past 3+ years. Everything seems easier than any other firewall I'd used, from basic log viewing, to setting up L2L VPN's, security rules, NAT rules, etc. The AD integration is pretty sweet too, as well as being able to view behavioral blocks (SMTP brute force attempts, for example) and blocking incoming traffic from entire countries without having to actually specify the IP ranges.
