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

"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
"The most valuable feature is the zero-trust part of this solution."
"This is a one-stop solution; they have multiple features for every product, you don't need to purchase different products for each platform, and when you purchase one Prisma SaaS you can connect to 10 different things."
"Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks makes our life easier because the firewall solution we had before was totally outdated and performing poorly. This solution has completely transformed our operations."
"I've evaluated multiple solutions on the market but to quarantine and clean a malware file is something I haven't seen anywhere else."
"For anybody who is looking for a contained-based solution, I definitely recommend this product."
"The most valuable features of the solution are in the areas of the secure remote access it provides while also being user-friendly."
"Overall, the security that Prisma Access provides definitely meets our security requirements."
"Overall, the cost savings, ease of deployment, and better VPN user experience and performance are valuable."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"The pricing for this solution is on the higher end. Our customer felt that the solution was a bit overpriced but they had nothing that offered them better protection."
"My clients would like to see a more feature-rich product."
"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."
"Sometimes a third-party outage could impact the whole operability."
"However, when you have different environments for a single application, such as DEV, QA, PROD, and TEST, all these environments run multiple containers, which can lead to a very high number of containers."
"I wouldn't say Prisma is particularly useful for protecting data."
"Lacks a hybrid model which has API plus in-line security."
"I would like the solution to support a different type of authentication. We can't configure a secondary method for our portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"The solution requires a license and the technical support has extra costs. The licensing model could improve."
"Prisma SaaS is more expensive than similar solutions but I think it's worth it."
"I would advise choosing your options according to your company's needs. Just go for what you want and do not pay for anything extra in terms of licensing. You need to determine how much bandwidth is required in your company network, and according to that, you should pay for the license. The mobile user license is based on the number of users who are going to use the VPN solution. You need to determine how many mobile users you are going to have in your network, and you should pay according to that. There are no other costs in addition to licensing, but if you go for the consultant services of Palo Alto networks to deliver the solution for you, then you need to pay something extra. That is not a part of licensing."
"The licensing cost is about 18,000 euros."
"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."
"The pricing is very friendly. It's not confusing to figure out your workload and how much you'd be paying for the solution."
"The licensing model for this product is complicated and changes all the time, making it very hard for the user to comprehend the configuration."
"This is not an expensive product and everything is included with one license."
