Prompt support with good security and automation capabilities
We have been using the solution to improve out posture management and network security, as well as identity security. This is important for us as these are the main pillars of our enterprise. It's ensuring everything we do remains seamless. The product provides very good network security. The support has been very prompt. It provides security across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The offering is very comprehensive. I'm able to have a strong security posture and it helps me take care of and protect my workloads. The network security is strong. It gives me complete traceability. The automation depends on the technological stack, however, it helps with identifying vulnerabilities. If there is a violation happening, I can see it - plus it helps put in preventative measures. It helps me to identify issues in cloud deployments and also gives a prioritized list to help me maintain my operational efficiency. I can scan and assess weaknesses and have continuous monitoring and fixing with automation of remediation. We were able to realize benefits on day one using Prisma since we were able to see results immediately in terms of operational efficiency. Prisma offers robust security features and seamless integration with AWS. It has complete capabilities, so I don't have to run my automated cloud resources while ensuring a proxy approach to cloud security. The agent provides us with more security options. We can also easily integrate seamlessly with our CI/CD pipeline. It's simple. It's plug-and-play. Prisma offers a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile security and compliance reports. It's complete. We have everything under one single entity while fulfilling our compliance needs. The solution provides risk clarity at runtime and across the entire pipeline, showing you issues as they are discovered. It can block according to our complex requirements. With the increased operational efficiency, I am facing less downtime. It's reduced runtime alerts by two to three hours. It's also reduced alert investigation time. We've been able to save money. We're getting a good return on investment. We're saving about 20 hours of work a week.

Provides necessary protection against current and relevant threats
I use Trend Micro Deep Security to enhance the security of our servers, which run various operating systems, including Solaris. For our servers, especially those involved in Webex, we deploy agents and enable specific modules like anti-malware, intrusion detection, and firewall protection Trend…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like most about Prisma Cloud is its zero-day signatures, maximum security, minimal downtime, cloud visibility, control, and ease of deployment."
"Prisma Cloud is quite simple to use. The web GUI is powerful. Prisma Cloud scans the overall architecture of the AWS network to identify open ports and other vulnerabilities, then highlights them."
"The dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature."
"My favorite feature is the CWPP module. We can define various kinds of rules for vulnerabilities, incidents, or suspicious activities."
"Palo Alto enables us to know what security threats are happening in the background."
"Syslog CLIs are the best feature."
"What I found most valuable in Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is the VAS, such as the web application and API security. I feel that VAS adds a lot of value, mainly because it gives visibility through the application layer and threat detection features."
"We are provided with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile compliance reports."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"It is a scalable solution. If required, we can scale it more. That's not an issue...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
 

Cons

"Some of the usability within the Compute functionality needs improvement. I think when Palo Alto added on the Twistlock functionality, they added a Compute tab on the left side of the navigation. Some of the navigation is just a little dense. There is a lot of navigation where there is a tab and dropdowns. So, just improving some of the navigation where there is just a very dense amount of buttons and drop-down menus, that is probably the only thing, which comes from having a lot of features. Because there are a lot of buttons, just navigating around the platform can be a little challenging for new users."
"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."
"I think Prisma Cloud could improve its preventive governance policy and CWP run time modules."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"The UI could use some improvement; we usually find the information we're looking for, but what fields can be clicked on and what workflow to follow to get the required information is not always evident. Sometimes we're all over the place, clicking around to drill in and uncover the alert and investigation details we're looking for."
"Prisma is good about compliance, and their support is excellent, but they struggle with automation and integration. They need to stay on top of the newest types of connectors. How can you connect other applications and other tools in order for this to work cohesively? That's a challenge."
"When it comes to compliance, the issue is that when we are exporting the reports, there is only a single compliance option. If I need to report on multiple compliance requirements, that feature isn't available. For example, I made a single report for ISO 27000 but I can't correlate it with GDPR."
"While Prisma provides a lot of visibility, it also creates a ton of work. Most customers that implement Prisma Cloud have thousands of alerts that are urgent."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"We'd like to have more application control."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."
"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"This solution is good for a company with at least 400 people that must be connected remotely. For smaller companies, it can be too expensive."
"From my exposure so far, they have been really flexible on whatever your current state is, with a view to what the future state might be. There's no hard sell. They "get" the journey that you're on, and they're trying to help you embrace cloud security, governance, and compliance as you go."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks carries a higher cost, but its enhanced security measures justify the expense."
"The Prisma Cloud pricing is good."
"The pricing is competitive; for the most part, the security firms have similar prices."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
