Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 29, 2026

Cisco Umbrella and Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks compete in the cybersecurity domain, specifically focusing on cloud-based network security and management solutions. Based on feature evaluations, Prisma Access seems to have a slight upper hand due to its comprehensive security features and broad application coverage.

Features: Cisco Umbrella offers strong DNS protection, traffic redirect capabilities, and robust threat intelligence through Cisco Talos. It integrates seamlessly with user environments and provides centralized cloud management. Prisma Access provides comprehensive security, including remote access VPN, threat prevention, URL filtering, and single-pane management, and supports scalability with its cloud infrastructure.

Room for Improvement: Cisco Umbrella could improve by offering more granular policies and better third-party integrations. It also needs to simplify its firewall capabilities and reporting tools. Prisma Access should enhance integration with non-Palo Alto products, simplify its interface, and improve support for Linux platforms. Additionally, both products could benefit from more transparent pricing and greater license flexibility.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cisco Umbrella is primarily deployed in a Public Cloud environment and generally receives praise for its technical support, although some users note longer response times. Prisma Access, also deployed in cloud environments, gets positive feedback for technical support, though users mention complexities during configuration setups. Both vendors provide strong customer support, boosting user confidence during deployment.

Pricing and ROI: Cisco Umbrella is often regarded as having a high price point but provides good ROI due to enhanced security and simplified management, despite concerns about the complexity of its pricing structure. Similarly, Prisma Access is noted for its high cost, justified mostly by its advanced features. Both solutions are positioned at the higher end of the market but emphasize value in security returns for their customers.

Enhances web security with a single pane of glass and flexible deployment

I don't see any need for improvement; one of the really good things about iboss as a company is that they listen to customer feedback. I have suggested enhancements, and they are responsive, making changes for the better, and they do a lot of testing. To improve iboss, although we haven't used it, we considered the VPN solution that comes with the highest tier licensing, which includes DLP and various other add-ons. We prefer using another product which automatically logs you back onto your network when turning on your PC. With iboss, the connection is manual, which doesn't meet our needs. Additionally, sizing can be tricky because, although the initial recommendations may seem adequate, actual usage may require more gateways than anticipated.

Ensures comprehensive protection with seamless threat logging and efficient policy management

My favorite feature of Cisco Umbrella is probably just the DNS and the fact that when a security threat happens, all of that gets logged in their Umbrella portal, and it's very easy to find who's been accessing the site and how many people have accessed it, so that we can go to them and make sure they're not compromised. The features of Cisco Umbrella benefit my company by providing less time to search for things through logs, to look for what we need. It's just one place to go, and we just search for it, and we find it really fast. The fact that there's a virtual database that has all that information is great on our portal.

Zero-trust access has improved remote security and now simplifies cloud-based firewall management

Regarding the integration part for Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks, the integration with identity providers is pretty much good. It is basically firewall as a service, so it performs well. I completed the integration without any issues. What Palo Alto Networks can do better for Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks is probably to have the point of presence available in more locations. The point of presence from the Serbia region has the nearest POP in Frankfurt, which is an issue since it is your gateway—when you start browsing the internet, you go through a commercial connection in Germany. They definitely need to spread the service in other countries.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"iboss is definitely very good in terms of service."

"I would definitely recommend iboss for web filtering purposes to other organizations or individuals."

"Because of iboss, I did not have to assign web filtering tasks to my techs on a daily basis."

"Content filtering is the most useful feature of iboss."

"Because of iboss, I did not have to assign web filtering tasks to my techs on a daily basis."

"iboss is easy to use despite its complexity. Multiple engineers manage it, but it's significantly more straightforward to administer than traditional VPNs and web proxies."

"iboss is pretty scalable. They provide good support. The case managers you work with to coordinate what you need are pretty good."

"Technical support is pretty sharp and very responsive."

More iboss pros

"Overall, Cisco Umbrella is pretty easy to use, pretty easy to deploy, and it does what we want it to do."

"The feature that we find most valuable is to be able to filter out those web requests that you don't want."

"Cisco's support is fantastic, providing assistance when needed, especially during the initial installation process."

"The most valuable features for us include tenant lock, content filtering, and DLP solutions, looking for PII and information being exfiltrated."

"I also think that the dashboard view is really helpful. Whenever sites get blocked, we get the details and the users who are connecting to them."

"The primary advantage of Cisco Umbrella is its ability to safeguard our users no matter where they are working from - whether it's in the office or remotely, as per the new work model that has emerged globally. This integrated security solution has simplified our lives by combining all the necessary security measures in one product. Additionally, deploying the product is all it takes to protect all our users."

"The biggest return on investment when using Cisco Umbrella for me is the ease of use of the fact that we've deployed this with our Cisco VPN Secure Client, so every computer has the Umbrella module in it."

"We've found it to be stable and good for our customers."

More Cisco Umbrella pros

"Its frontend is user-friendly. It is easy to use for us."

"Prisma integrates pretty nicely even if you aren't using other Palo Alto products, is very effective for a CSP solution, and the time to value is almost instant because as soon as you stand it up, it shows value by telling you all the vulnerabilities or risks in that environment."

"This solution provides a DLP on the cloud and very few people have a scanning device for data at rest."

"Overall, I am very happy with the security provided by Prisma Access."

"We are quite happy with this feature and feel very confident that the Palo Alto security stack takes care of all of these things automatically."

"This is the best product that I have looked at, out of all of the competitors."

"I think the stability of Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks is excellent, and I would rate it ten out of ten."

"Being able to use the user ID or Active Directory Group is one of the great features for control and providing more flexibility without worrying about IP addresses."

More Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks pros

Cons

"The reporting feature needs improvement."

"To scale up, a new iboss Node Blade Chassis must be purchased."

"Our biggest problem with their service was it did not recognize the device and filtering did not always work correctly."

"The dashboards for local use could be better."

"The area I would like to see improvement in is the ability within the reporter to navigate directly to the content the user is traversing."

"The solution could be stronger on the integration side and offer more cloud applications like G Suite or Oracle."

"Sometimes the agent stops working in iboss, and we have to reinstall the agent."

"Fold that in with the risk intelligence they're getting from all of the different subscriptions they are a part of. Now, these security companies subscribe to things like emerging threats, databases, etc. You can fold all this intelligence to decide what's happening on an endpoint. I would love to see them start moving into that space. That would compete directly with Microsoft. Maybe that's why they haven't. Having that ability native within the solution would be great. The other area in which I would love to see improvement is more detailed descriptions of why they block websites."

More iboss cons

"Some countries don't have a DNS server leading to a domain resolution IP, not at a local level."

"I don't think our workers like it all that much. It has actually made employee morale worse because we block a lot of stuff."

"It needs a better price point."

"The pricing could always be a little bit better."

"I think it's a very basic solution, and because of that, Cisco Umbrella would not be a suitable solution for large companies."

"Improvement could be made in the area of detailed reporting analytics broken down by client name for individual custom reporting."

"Its reliability and the response time of the support team can be better."

"They can maybe simplify the configuration. For example, sometimes, the proxy part is quite difficult, and that's why we didn't deploy that."

More Cisco Umbrella cons

"GlobalProtect can face challenges with latency, especially when remote workers connect to centralized locations."

"They can add some new characteristics. For example, when an incident triggers, they can automatically send a template for a particular match that is related to the policy. We don't have that right now. It is something to improve. There could be more automation for certain actions. For example, for a particular group, it can send an administrator alert to their manager. It was one of the concerns of our customers."

"There is room for improvement in the multi-environment visibility, especially around containers."

"The one thing that I've been a little bit disappointed with is when we have had to open cases with Palo Alto about Prisma Access issues. Versus their other platforms, like their firewalls, where we tend to get really quick responses and very definitive answers, the few tickets I've had to open for Prisma Access have taken them longer to respond to. And they haven't necessarily given me the kind of answer I was looking for, meaning a fix to the problem."

"Palo Alto needs to improve the GlobalProtect agent to work as a secure web gateway agent, not only as a VPN agent because some companies would want only a secure gateway. They wouldn't want a full VPN. So, Palo Alto has to make the VPN agent work as a secure web gateway agent for those customers who want only the secure web gateway solution."

"I haven't seen any SD-WAN configuration capability. If Prisma Access would support SD-WAN, that would help... SD-WAN devices should be able to reach Prisma Access, and Palo Alto should support different, vendor-specific devices, not just Palo Alto devices, for SD-WAN configuration."

"Technical support could be a lot better."

"The Prisma Access could improve in terms of adding more machine learning and AI capabilities to automate tasks such as incident response."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall pricing for iboss is very competitive and transparent."

"It is not expensive, and it is also not cheap. iboss is priced right in the sweet spot for the number of features it offers."

"We have not priced the solution recently, but they were competitive with other vendors in the past."

"It is probably in line with other solutions, but I do not deal with the financial side."

"We had the cost of purchasing a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs. However, the following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs."

"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."

"It has a reasonable price. It is certainly not as expensive as it used to be. It is in line with other offerings on the market. There are a number of different flavors of Umbrella. They could bring Umbrella SIG down a bit because its price is a little bit high for what it does, but I also understand why its price is high."

"The pricing is great and very competitive with the rest of the market."

"The price could be lower."

"You get what you pay for if you break the solution up into tiers."

"I think Cisco Umbrella is priced well. We have a mix of customers with different verticals such as education. We have clients in the commercial space as well. Umbrella is at a good price point for all of our customers."

"It needs a better price point."

"We did a good negotiation, and at the moment, its price is fine."

"I am not sure, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think it's $1.00 or so per device/month."

More Cisco Umbrella pricing and cost advice

"It is a little expensive. Because it is one of the best in the market, it is a little bit more expensive than other vendors."

"Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks has flexible licensing models with different categories. It comes with different features which can be removed if not needed. However, its pricing is high."

"The initial prices of Prisma Access were okay. But as soon as you start deploying Palo Alto gear, the support prices and the recurring prices, which are the major operational costs, tend to increase over time."

"It is pretty expensive. We have to balance the cost of some features. They need to work on some of the services and products, price-wise."

"We have to pay additional costs for maintenance and support services."

"As compared to other solutions, Prisma Access is much cheaper. It is probably 30% to 40% cheaper than other solutions, but I do not know the exact cost."

"The licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis and for what we get, the price is good."

"Palo Alto is the Cadillac solution, so their products are pretty expensive. That's just the way it is. Their solution surpasses anything else. Cisco AnyConnect, Zscaler, and all of the other products don't compare. Palo Alto is the market leader with the most features. It saves you work, and you don't have to worry about it."

Reviews from Real Users

Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics

users who are currently using the solution.

PeerSpot user Partha D., Global Network Tech Lead at a computer software company, speaks about his experience using the product, saying, "It protects all app traffic so that users can gain access to all apps. Unlike other solutions that only work from ports 80 and 443, which are predominantly for web traffic, Prisma Access covers all protocols and works on all traffic patterns... The most sophisticated attacks can arise from sources that are not behind 80/443."

Tejas J., a Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a computer software company, mentions that "it is geographically dispersed, and it sits on top of Google and AWS platforms. Therefore, you don't face the standard issues, such as latency or bandwidth issues, that you usually face in the case of on-prem data centers.”

Another PeerSpot reviewer, Max I., Associate Director at Cognizant, comments that "Security is absolutely spot-on, really top-notch. It's the result of all the components that come together, such as the HIP [Host Information Profile] and components like Forcepoint, providing end-user content inspection, and antivirus. It incorporates DLP features and that's fantastic because Prisma Access makes sure that all of the essential prerequisites are in place before a user can log in or can be tunneled into."
