"The feature I find to be most valuable is very much the zero-touch provisioning. I was able to be up, operational, and 100 percent functional in less than a half an hour."
"It seems quite scalable. We don't anticipate any scaling issues. We have it deployed in the cloud."
"The program has a nice interface and it is easy to use."
"It helped us to bring security compliance and ensure system robustness throughout."
"The product is a fairly complete and centralized solution accessible through the Infinity Portal."
"The most valuable features would be its ability to intercept phishing emails and emails laden with malware, viruses, false links, etc."
"It provides visibility of events, what's going on with the environment, what we're missing with our other solution, and the user behavior."
"Check Point's technical support is very good."
"Prisma Cloud is quite simple to use. The web GUI is powerful. Prisma Cloud scans the overall architecture of the AWS network to identify open ports and other vulnerabilities, then highlights them."
"The framework to configure controls is pretty good; it's pretty sophisticated. We can implement a fair amount of testing for a fair number of controls."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"This solution helped us by allowing us to schedule and fix things. This is not an easy thing if you're managing 1,000 plus resources."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility across all of our cloud solutions."
"The application visibility is amazing. For example, sometimes we don't know what a particular custom port is for and what is running on it. The visibility enables us to identify applications, what the protocol is, and what service is behind it. Within Azure, it is doing a great job of providing visibility. We know exactly what is passing through our network. If there is an issue of any sort we are able to quickly detect it and fix the problem."
"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud is WAF (web application firewall)."
"Palo Alto enables us to know what security threats are happening in the background."
"There is too much functionality, which makes it difficult to use. More guidance for users would be helpful."
"From time to time, the system's administrators notice the increase in the false-positive alerts being reported by CloudGuard SaaS."
"Although it has good characteristics, it should improve the graphical interface and the latency that it sometimes presents."
"The NAVEX metrics that I have been using on the CloudGuard dashboard cannot be exported. If they were to add report exporting capabilities on each of metric objects on the dashboard, that would be awesome."
"They could improve Check Point support response times. Sometimes it takes days to resolve or even days to get a first response."
"Its guides are not great."
"There could be more automation features included for it."
"I would like Check Point to extend its coverage to include more cloud applications."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"We are encountering issues with the new permissions required for AWS integration with Prisma."
"The challenge that Palo Alto and Prisma have is that, at times, the instructions in an event are a little bit dated and they're not usable. That doesn't apply to all the instructions, but there are times where, for example, the Microsoft or the Amazon side has made some changes and Palo Alto or Prisma was not aware of them. So as we try to remediate an alert in such a case, the instructions absolutely do not work. Then we open up a ticket and they'll reply, "Oh yeah, the API for so-and-so vendor changed and we'll have to work with them on that." That area could be done a little better."
"The UI could be improved."
"Prisma Cloud's dashboards should be customizable. That's very important. Other similar solutions are more elastic so you have the power to create customized dashboards. In Prisma Cloud, you cannot do that."
"There are hundreds of built-in policies for AWS and Azure, but GCP and Oracle are not covered as much as AWS. There is a lot of work to do on that part. There is, obviously, a tiny bit of favoritism towards AWS because it has the most market share."
"The first time I looked at Prisma Cloud, it took me a while to understand how to implement the integration or how to enable features by using the interface for integration. That portion can probably be improved."
"When it comes to protecting the full cloud-native stack, it has the right breadth. They're covering all the topics I would care about, like container, cloud configuration, and serverless. There's one gap. There could be a better set of features around identity management—native AWS—IAM roles, and service account management. The depth in each of those areas varies a little bit. While they may have the breadth, I think there's still work to do in flushing out each of those feature sets."
