Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is for container security and monitoring.

It has helped us understand the dynamic topology of our containers and manage security through the application of policies that our pipelines apply straight from Git.

The most valuable feature is the automated forensics.

I would like to see the inclusion of automated counter-attack, although this is probably illegal.

Our client needed a solution which would be a true implementation of the concept "Trust, but verify," and Aporeto fulfills that notion as it decouples security from network and infrastructure. It services microservices in a nifty and seamless way.

Aporeto has accelerated our client's expansion to the cloud. With Aporeto, they have secured their Linux workloads on any infrastructure with end-to-end encryption and have a path for modernizing with a security layer that is future-proofed.

The dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature.

It integrates quite well with the AWS products as it uniquely fingerprints each workload. Aporeto is designed to combine metadata from the orchestration layer, the container, the operating system, and the AWS instance identity document. By combining these information sources, along with dynamic attributes such as image scanner inputs, Aporeto is designed to create a strong cryptographic identity for each workload. It authenticates and authorizes all network communications within a virtual private cloud (VPC), across VPCs independent of their region or availability zone, and across cloud environments.

More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful. Another useful feature would be greater transparency and visibility into the security checks being implemented.

In AWS, it scales with the cloud and we have found no issues at all with the stability.

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.

The purchasing process was easy and quick. It is a very economical solution.

We chose to procure this solution via AWS Marketplace because that's where we get all other solutions and to make sure it's supported by AWS.

I would rate it as a nine out of ten, due to its cloud-facing features which fit in nicely with the whole cloud ecosystem.
