Physical FG model to VM

[Fullmoon]

hello folks, 

is there a matrix where each FG VMs model corresponds to physical FG model? EU sometimes weighing which is better in terms of cost Physical or VM. Looking at  FG VM datasheet seems I cant find info such as NGFW and Threat Throughput.

any advice is much appreciated.

Hello, 

As VM and Physical devices are totally different there's no comparison matrix or chart.

You can use the below link to have a comparison between VM's and Physical devices.
