Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We noted immediate benefits from using the solution."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"It gives me the information I need."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"The remediation process is good."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"It has a feature for customized security policy. I implement it in banking, health insurance, and other sectors, and every organization has its own customized policies and procedures. In Prisma Cloud, you can customize policies, and based on that, you can do monitoring."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"The container and serverless security is most valuable. It is quite a new technology for this region. Even though containers have been there for a long time, the adoption of containers is very minimal in this region. When it comes to using Kubernetes containers in a complex architecture, there is a lack of security in the market. People aren't aware of the security controls or the process for governance. Container security provided by Prisma Cloud is quite good at filling that gap."
"We are provided with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile compliance reports."
"I would rate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks ten out of ten."
"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."
"It helps to identify the misconfigurations by monitoring regularly which helps to secure the organization's cloud environment."
"The runtime mechanism on the solution is very useful. It's got very good network mapping between containers. If you have more than one container, you can create a content data link between them."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
 

Cons

"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"Sometimes the Storyline ID is a bit wacky."
"The documentation that I use for the initial setup can be more detailed or written in a more user-friendly language to avoid troubles."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"Palo Alto needs to add more support staff to improve their response time."
"It would be nice Prisma Cloud merged its modules for CSPM and infrastructure as code. It would simplify the pricing and make it easier for customers to evaluate the solution because there are different modules, and you need to add it to your subscription separately."
"There should be some kind of automation, AI incorporation, and bot system. All these would add value."
"One thing that is missing is Cloud Run runtime security—serverless. That would be great to have in the tool. It's not that easy to have Cloud Run in specific environments."
"Sometimes, on the Azure side, there are issues. Some errors aren't being found on Prisma Cloud."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"When there are updates, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, it needs configuration or permission adjustments. There is no automation for that, which is too bad."
"One major observation is that it is not possible to implement Prisma Cloud on-premises. This is the limitation. Prisma Cloud itself is on a cloud. It is sitting on AWS and Google Cloud. 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. That capability is not there, but government entities and ministries want to have Prisma Cloud installed locally."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"SentinelOne offers excellent pricing and licensing options."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"We are encountering some resistance in the African market regarding the cost of Prisma Cloud."
"The pricing for Prisma Cloud is high. Providing a pay-as-you-go model or pricing options tailored for medium and small enterprises could help attract more clients."
"The pricing and the licensing are both very fair... The biggest advice I would give in terms of costs would be to try to understand what the growth is going to look like. That's really been our biggest struggle, that we don't have an idea of what our future growth is going to be on the platform. We go from X number of licenses to Y number of licenses without a plan on how we're going to get from A to B, and a lot of that comes as a bit of a surprise. It can make budgeting a real challenge for it."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The Prisma Cloud pricing is good."
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a highly expensive solution."
"In general, Prisma Cloud is much cheaper than cloud-native services."
"The pricing is competitive; for the most part, the security firms have similar prices."
