Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Prisma Cloud support is generally praised for responsiveness and knowledge, but experiences vary, suggesting room for improvement in consistency.
Sentiment score
8.3
Trend Micro Deep Security's support is generally praised for responsiveness and expertise, but some issues with delays and case management persist.
The presales team was very proactive and helped us in every aspect we needed to resolve our queries during implementation and they provided knowledge to our team internally.
They have remained engaged to drive resolution of issues that we have found.
When we raised an issue to high priority, they answered faster.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
4.7
Prisma Cloud needs enhancements in documentation, UI, integration, pricing, and automation to improve usability and competitiveness.
Sentiment score
5.6
Trend Micro Deep Security users desire better integration, support, pricing, and features like improved reporting and hybrid cloud control.
API security is an area that is definitely growing, because almost every web application has tons of APIs connecting to other web applications with tons of APIs.
It is scanning everything rather than giving us the ability to be real granular in choosing which agents can scan which repositories.
Their support needs to be improved. It is by far one of the worst support that I have seen.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Prisma Cloud offers efficient scalability, seamless multi-cloud integration, and flexible scaling for diverse, complex infrastructures, despite rare limitations.
Sentiment score
7.7
Trend Micro Deep Security is versatile and scalable, handling various enterprise sizes, though costs and scaling limitations exist.
How flexible is the tool as far as working with different cloud environments goes? And it is perfectly fine in that regard.
It's very scalable and very easy to use.
Aporeto is now available in AWS where it efficiently deploys, manages, and secures applications at scale on various platforms including Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, and Mesos, among others.
 

Setup Cost

Sentiment score
7.2
Prisma Cloud's pricing is seen as economical by some and high by others due to complex licensing.
Sentiment score
4.3
Trend Micro Deep Security's pricing is viewed as high but competitive, with flexible options and varying user affordability opinions.
There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees for Prisma Cloud.
Does it do what we need it to do? Does it work with the things that we want it to work with? That is the important part for us.
They gave us some good discounts right at the end of the year based on the value that it brings, visibility, and the ability to build in cloud, compliance, and security within one dashboard.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Prisma Cloud is stable and reliable, with minimal downtime and high user satisfaction scores ranging from 7 to 10.
Sentiment score
8.3
Trend Micro Deep Security is highly stable, though specific configurations may cause minor issues, generally scoring 7-10 for reliability.
The ability to log in and get near real-time data on our cloud environment is very good.
A pre-announcement or pre-testing of the alerts would be a better way for them to do this, instead of creating 50 or 100-plus alerts.
I cannot recall any downtime with the solution.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
8.2
Prisma Cloud offers automated security, compliance, and vulnerability management with multi-cloud integration, enhancing visibility and control for users.
Sentiment score
7.3
Trend Micro Deep Security provides comprehensive, scalable protection with agentless options, cloud integration, and supports virtual environments for large organizations.
Aporeto is designed to combine metadata from the orchestration layer, the container, the operating system, and the AWS instance identity document.
The most valuable feature is that the rule set is managed and that it can be run on a regularly scheduled basis.
The Inventory functionality, enabling us to identify all of the resources deployed into a single account in either AWS or Azure, or into Prisma Cloud as a whole, has been really useful for us.

Featured Reviews

Mohammad Qaw - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to implement, good integrations, and helpful technical support services
They are working to improve the solution. For example, nowadays, they're offering cloud based EDR which addresses a lot of this scalability challenges like storage requirements, et cetera. We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions. They recently put out some more additions which I have yet to explore. They've already addressed a lot of previous concerns. We'd like the cloud model to have better pricing.
