Room For Improvement

Netlify Platform needs a centralized dashboard, better GitHub integration, performance improvements, pricing transparency, and enhanced backend and AI capabilities.
Prisma Cloud needs user interface, integration, automation, cost, and support improvements, with better multi-cloud support and visibility.
Additionally, more advanced monitoring and logging features inside the platform would be very useful for troubleshooting.

You can add integrations such as API services and a secret service so that users do not have to manage environment variables manually through the GUI or web service.
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Prisma Cloud is an excellent tool.
Technical Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Setup Cost

Netlify Platform offers transparent, reasonable pricing, with a free tier and cost-effective options for various enterprise project sizes.
Enterprise buyers find Prisma Cloud expensive but valuable, with flexible pricing benefiting multi-cloud enterprises despite additional costs.
We recommend it for deployment to clients who cannot afford larger budgets for Vercel or AWS.

Valuable Features

Netlify excels with GitHub integration, serverless functions, CI/CD, global CDN, and cost-effective deployments, enhancing efficiency and collaboration.
Prisma Cloud enhances cloud security with real-time monitoring, automation, and CSPM for effective DevOps and multi-cloud protection.
The best feature of Netlify Platform is how easily I am able to integrate it with GitHub and GitLab, along with how user-friendly it is.
Software Engineer at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
I have used multiple plugins within it, and they are quite easy to use, such as adding environment variables, adding secrets, and adjusting the size of the hosted application, which means the memory, CPU, and virtual CPU memory are very convenient for me to manage.
Senior software engineer at Simplifyvms
When it comes to the new modern frameworks, all the other platforms require extra configurations to get deployed into the DNS servers, but using Netlify Platform, it is easy; everything is handled by Netlify Platform in the backend, and the deployment process and all the CI/CD pipeline that Netlify Platform handles is something which is good in regard to the modern frameworks which are used nowadays.

Prisma Cloud's most valuable feature is its user identification capabilities. By integrating with Active Directory or LDAP servers, it efficiently manages user access to cloud resources.

Tech Lead at a marketing services firm with 1-10 employees
Rapid prototypes have accelerated my web app demos and streamlined real-time feature testing
There could be a simple interface where I can turn on and off CI/CD in a single place on Netlify Platform. Right now I have to go to each and every instance that I'm using and get into the settings and turn on and off that auto-deployment mode or all of that becomes a little time-taking. Since I know the user interface, it's easy for me, but for newcomers, going into that granular level of control might be on the higher side. It will take a lot of time. If there could have a kind of dashboard where I can pause the CI/CD for each product or for each project instance, that will be better. The free tier of Netlify Platform itself is enough for most of the users. If at all they want to do more, they could increase the free tier limit. Currently it's around 300 minutes per month. If they could increase it or set a daily limit, that will be better instead of setting a monthly limit. Most of the times I lose track of how much I have used this.

Image scanning has supported consistent security practices during cloud deployment
On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.
