We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros

"Prisma SD-WAN is intuitive. We have a better idea of the different tools we can use and jump between the menus quickly.""When it comes to supporting large, complex, network architectures, it's a very simple architecture. The main component is the fabric. It's very easy to troubleshoot if there is an issue happening in the underlying network.""Prisma's analytics provide a lot of valuable data. I like the internet health chart that shows latency, dropped packets, MOS for data quality, etc. It also runs a continuous speed test in the background. I've used it multiple times to troubleshoot internet connections when the service provider has attempted to claim nothing is wrong with the circuit. It gives me data to send them showing we're not getting the speed we should, or there is constant packet loss.""The gateway is available on the cloud which allows you access from anywhere and still connects to your home gateway.""If the MPLS goes down, there is a really smooth transition for a branch site to take traffic over the Internet. It will advertise the routes of that site in a jiffy.""The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.""It is flexible to use the internet connection via local breakouts without going to data centers.""I like the link monitoring and analytics. These are the features that set Prisma apart from other products. Prisma works well with large, complex networks. One of my clients is a top bank in the United States, and Prisma has performed well for that customer."

Cons
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex.""It is missing important settings options.""The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."

More Cradlepoint NetCloud Cons →

"Event correlation and analysis capabilities do not help minimize the number of alarms from a single event. That is the problem. We are getting a lot of incidents, and there is some issue with the correlation. That is still a drawback.""Prisma SD-WAN's technical support should be improved.""Sometimes, during the product's initial setup phase, bypass pair or couple ports don't come up normally, and it requires an hour and a half to troubleshoot to reset the box from Prisma SD-WAN to factory default.""Customer support is our biggest pain point. The quality of support has gone down a little since we initially deployed this product. I don't know if this is due to turnover at Palo Alto or a lack of training. It is now taking one or two days to get an initial response that says, "Hey, we've looked into this, can you pull this data for us?" In the past, we'd immediately get a response.""I'd like to see them move more towards CASB.""The tool needs to work on price and complexity.""Prisma could be a little cheaper.""The only con is the pricing because it's more premium."

    Top Answer:The price is steep, but I don't know what we would've paid for the VMware solution. Meraki is a little cheaper, but Cisco is costly because of the hardware and all the licensing that goes with it. We… more »
