ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
It eliminates the need for additional hardware, making it a financially and technically sound investment.
It helped reduce risks and sped up threat detection.
From a security standpoint, we have significantly enhanced our client's security posture by implementing Prisma Cloud.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
Whenever I have issues with the solution, I will get an immediate response from the product team and they will try to close the issue as soon as possible.
When you send them a message, you get a response in a minute or two.
They can respond with technical documentation or pass on the case to the next level because it requires the development of a new feature or changing a feature due to a bug.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
It's very scalable and very easy to use.
It's the type of tool that is constantly improving, and its scalability suits our environment well.
If we want to scale, we only need to purchase another license.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
I cannot recall any downtime with the solution.
I would rate it a ten out of ten for stability.
I haven't seen any outages with Prisma Cloud.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
It is a SaaS solution, but some of my clients have a local regulatory requirement, and they want to install it locally on their premises.
From a developer's perspective, especially for organizations like banks developing their applications, ensuring API security before deploying them to the cloud is crucial.
Prisma Cloud is an excellent tool.
A strategy to optimize costs will save you money.
The licensing model for data security should be compared to the native security offered by AWS and Azure.
Prisma Cloud is remarkably expensive.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
Prisma offers visibility to developers and high-level leadership because the dashboard is excellent and the alerts are comprehensive.
Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter.
Security posture management is the most valuable feature.
