We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"The most valuable feature is posture management, which gives you complete visibility of all your assets in the cloud and allows you to do governance and compliance."
"Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized."
"This platform has allowed us to collect data from multiple sources, centralizing everything under a single source."
"The user interface is responsive and quite intuitive; when selecting an object it automatically shows the relevant actions."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"Prisma helped us build a moat around our production systems. It's now impossible to log into our production from a non-MDM laptop. Prisma Access provides decent security overall."
"Prisma's most valuable feature would be its ability to identify bad or risky configurations."
"The most valuable feature is the zero-trust part of this solution."
"Overall, the cost savings, ease of deployment, and better VPN user experience and performance are valuable."
"This solution provides a DLP on the cloud and very few people have a scanning device for data at rest."
"There is a system for monitoring the traffic. You can monitor the traffic of the connected people and point out any issues on the connection part."
"It supports auto-scaling for mobile users. It auto-scales depending on the mobile user traffic. For example, if 1,000 people are working from home today, and tomorrow, the number increases to 2,000, it is not going to be an issue."
"The remediation process is easy compared to other platforms."
"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"They take time to respond or coordinate a meeting since they maintain a schedule that does not fit Latin America very well."
"The dashboard customization has room for improvement."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"The technical support could be better, but I do not know of any other needed improvements."
"The support must be more effective."
"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"We are using the SaaS offering. We use our applications for microservices. We use Twistlock to scan containers, and it displays these results in Prisma, which is a good feature because we can see vulnerabilities with respect to these containers. We can see everything in a very detailed manner. 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. In such a scenario, it shows you the alerts for all those containers that have vulnerabilities. If you show the results of all the containers that share the same image, it is not going to add any value. Therefore, they should narrow down the alerts based on a container. It should show information for a single container. Otherwise, the person who is looking at the results gets the impression that he has to fix all these issues. This is something that they can improve."
"It is a managed firewall. When you run into issues and have to troubleshoot, there is a fair amount of restriction. You run into a couple of restrictions where you don't have any visibility on what is happening on the Palo Alto managed infrastructure, and you need to get on a call to get technical assistance from Palo Alto's technical support. You have to get them to work with you to fix the problem. I would definitely like them to work on the visibility into what happens inside Palo Alto's infrastructure. It is not about getting our hands onto their infrastructure to do troubleshooting or fixing problems; it is just about getting more visibility. This will help us in guiding technical support folks to the area where they need to work."
"There should be a dedicated portal or SASE-based solution. They're trying to add a plugin but it needs a dedicated portal because it is now an enterprise solution for multiple organizations. People should be able to directly log in to a dedicated page for Prisma Access, rather than going into a Panorama plugin, and always having to update the plugin."
"Prisma would be a stronger solution if it could aggregate resources by project or by application. So say we have an application we've developed in AWS and five applications we've developed in Azure. The platform will group it according to those applications, but it's based on the tags we use in Azure, which means I have to rely on development teams to tag resources properly."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"There is some particular traffic that the security team wants to filter out and apply their own policies and they cannot."
"The product's current price is an area of shortcoming where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better pricing and an easier logging process. Also, if there was a way to log a global log, everything could go onto the system. It would be better if there was a third log, otherwise one would have to do everything manually."
