It gives you one console to see all of your assets, review their configurations, and build your processes
Most customers use Prisma Cloud for visibility and compliance. Prisma has so many features, but many organizations do not use them. They primarily use the visibility part to connect all their cloud accounts and hosts for visibility to see if they are missing any security controls or if they have any misconfigurations. You can connect it to cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba, etc., or to an on-prem data center. Prisma Cloud gives you so many options to automate processes related to your daily operations. When it comes to cybersecurity, you can automate things with their existing APIs. They also have out-of-the-box integrations with many solutions. I have not seen any limitations. Everything is customizable. You can do whatever you want, defining the reporting and custom use cases. They recently updated the UI, so it's much better than before.

High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It supports the multi-cloud environment beautifully."
"The solution's dashboard looks very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is the CSPM, which we use the most. Additionally, the investigation and alerts are useful, and the creation of queries."
"I like Prisma's ability to integrate with other tools. We can integrate it with Jira so that when Prisma triggers an alert, it opens a ticket in Jira. That was a big selling point for the product. There's a feature called the guest custom template that allows you to trigger alerts in Jira based on the template. That can also be added as a feature on Jira."
"Integrating with a CI/CD pipeline and incorporating a vulnerability assessment process are highly effective features, especially when combined with runtime protection."
"The first aspect that is important is the fact that Prisma Cloud is cloud-agnostic. It's actually available for the five top cloud providers: AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, and Alibaba Cloud. The second aspect is the fact that we can write our own rules to try to detect misconfigurations in those environments."
"The most valuable features are the alerts and auto-remediation because it allows us a lot of flexibility to customize and do things the Palo Alto team never intended. We faced some challenges with certificates because we also have next-gen firewalls. We would like to equip all the traffic because there have been many cases in which the developers have done things by mistake. Deploying certificates on virtual machines can be complex in a development environment, but we managed to do that with Prisma Cloud."
"One feature we like is the amount of data Prisma gives us. Some infrastructure and platform vulnerabilities that in the cloud are hard to detect, and we were unaware of some of these. It's critical to shed light on these. For example, you create virtual machines and forget about them, but when you revisit them, some vulnerabilities may be detected."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"The performance is good."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
 

Cons

"The integration of the Compute function into the cloud monitoring function—because those are two different tools that are being combined together—could use some more work. It still feels a little bit disjointed."
"They need to make the settings more flexible to fit our internal policies about data. We didn't want developers to see some data, but we wanted them to have access to the console because it was going to help them... It was a pain to have to set up the access to some languages and some data."
"We are encountering issues with the new permissions required for AWS integration with Prisma."
"A better correlation between the multiple products Prisma Cloud contains would be crucial. It would reduce the time spent looking at reports and enable you to get all the actionable insights across products. I think that Palo Alto is working on it, but they need to work faster because it doesn't make sense to have all these products in a single pane of glass without any correlation between them."
"The UX part of Prisma's user interface could be simplified and the metrics tool should be highlighted more."
"When an account is onboarded, if it is missing any permission, it should automatically be updated with the required permissions and policies."
"The UI could be improved."
"Sometimes, on the Azure side, there are issues. Some errors aren't being found on Prisma Cloud."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding Prisma Cloud's pricing, we started small, and then we just kept on growing."
"Prisma Cloud's licensing system functions as expected with a solid licensing infrastructure."
"The cost was not on the higher side. Overall, the cost gets recovered with its implementation."
"Prisma Cloud Enterprise is a costly solution. You need a license for all the components. At the same time, you have everything under one roof, so I think it's still justified."
"Our licensing fees are $18,000 USD per year."
"The price is high. In the future, when there are more competitors at the same level with different clouds, maybe the position will be different."
"If you pay for three years of Palo Alto, it's better. If you're planning on doing this, it's obviously not going to be for one year, so it's better if you go with a three-year license... The only challenge we have is with the public cloud vendor pricing. The biggest lesson I have learned is around the issues related to pricing for public cloud. So when you are doing your segmentation and design, it is extremely important that you work with someone who knows and understands what kinds of needs you will have in the future and how what you are doing will affect you in terms of costs."
"The licensing cost is a bit high on the compute side."
"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."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"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."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
