Browser security has strengthened web DLP and protects unmanaged devices from data exfiltration
SD-WAN capability is another solution, and it is not Prisma Access Browser; we do not have SD-WAN capability with Prisma Access Browser. I would like to improve the private access to do the ZTNA. I think that Palo Alto has released the versions and integrated the private access in Prisma Access Browser, but I'm not sure. The feature that is missing in Prisma Access Browser is the capability to monitor the private access where a user can access a private app with authentication, posture, and granular access. Regarding the pricing aspect, many customers find that the solution is a little bit expensive. Palo Alto should reconsider the pricing as it is a bit expensive.

Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Prisma Access Browser is the most capable, advanced, and flexible product."
"The most interesting use case that interests our customers is the DLP features on Prisma Access Browser; it is a great DLP solution with watermark and prevents data exfiltration."
"Prisma Access Browser improves security because the browser is one of the attack surfaces, it needs more security on the endpoint device and standardization of device usage, and it also helps standardize the access policy to the internet."
"We use this solution for controlling web content that the users are accessing, and you can control your employees when they are in the office and out of the office, without using a VPN in the same fashion."
"Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature."
"It's the perfect tool for investigation of malicious IPs."
"A faster procurement cycle has been achieved because we do not need to conduct a lot of proofs of value or proofs of concept, since they already know the solution."
"The solution is very easy to use, easy to navigate, very stable, scalable, quite flexible, and overall the performance is good."
"Skyhigh Security has positively impacted my organization by providing more compliance and more regulatory adherence."
"The support is excellent."
"There is [a feature] called cloud registry where we can see a risk assessment for the cloud services being used. If we want to add a new cloud service or a new cloud application, we can check into it and do an assessment through the cloud registry."
 

Cons

"On a scale of one to 10, I would rate Palo Alto's customer service or technical support as three. Their support is very poor."
"In the beginning, the solution may not be very user-friendly and could be complex."
"Regarding the pricing aspect, many customers find that the solution is a little bit expensive."
"The maturity of the product needs improvement as the implementation is very complex."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"Needs integration with other technology ecosystems."
"Skyhigh Security can be improved, and the biggest problem they have is that they are still owned by private equity, which is a massive drain on them financially because of the debt burden that they share with their sister company, Trellix."
"Its initial setup could be more straightforward."
"One improvement I can suggest for Skyhigh Security is that a better resolution from the Professional Services team, apart from the support team, is needed because sometimes during the weekend, resolution takes time, and reaching out to the Professional Services team is complicated."
"Skyhigh Security needs UI improvement, as its user interface is confusing and requires an expert analyst to spend considerable time becoming familiar with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."

"Some of our clients have a perpetual license and pay additional support yearly."
"The solution's hardware is expensive."
"The licensing fees are based on what environments you are monitoring."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is fine."
"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."
