We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy."
"We chose this solution in the first place because it has access to Layer 7. I can control the requests and the content, which I can access on my network if I want to even if it's forbidden access to other external resources. If I want to monitor, for example, traffic, and apply this rule on Layer 7, I can do so. This was our main goal when implementing this application. We wanted to take advantage of the Gateway capabilities."
"We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability monitoring, serverless access, container runtime features, and Defender."
"The two most valuable features are container security and the capability to discover workloads."
"The most valuable feature is its cloud security posture management."
"The support is excellent."
"The policies that come prepackaged in the tool have been very valuable to us. They're accurate and they provide good guidance as to why the policy was created, as well as how to remediate anything that violates the policy."
"In addition to that, I can get a snapshot of what I deemed were the priority vulnerabilities, whether it was identity access management, key rotation, or secrets management. Whatever you deem to be a priority for mitigating threats for your environment, you can get that as a snapshot."
"Prisma Cloud provides the needed visibility and control regardless of how complex and distributed the cloud environments become."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous cloud compliance monitoring and alerting."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The solution is easy to use overall, but the dashboard could be updated with a better layout and graphical design so that we can see the data a bit easier. Microsoft could also add more documentation. The documentation Microsoft provides doesn't tell us about resource requirements. We found that the instances we had weren't sufficient to support the firewall, so we had to increase them."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"The automation must continue to become much smoother."
"When there are updates, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, it needs configuration or permission adjustments. There is no automation for that, which is too bad."
"The pricing for the solution needs improvement."
"The IM security has room for improvement."
"While the code security feature has undergone recent enhancements, there is room for improvement in terms of its cost module."
"I would like to see the inclusion of automated counter-attack, although this is probably illegal."
"It would be ideal if they could somehow reduce the deployment time."
"We'd like to have more native integration with clouds and additional security checks in the future."
