Zero-trust access has improved remote security and now simplifies cloud-based firewall management
Regarding the integration part for Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks, the integration with identity providers is pretty much good. It is basically firewall as a service, so it performs well. I completed the integration without any issues. What Palo Alto Networks can do better for Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks is probably to have the point of presence available in more locations. The point of presence from the Serbia region has the nearest POP in Frankfurt, which is an issue since it is your gateway—when you start browsing the internet, you go through a commercial connection in Germany. They definitely need to spread the service in other countries.

Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security
We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, the security provided by Prisma Access is top-notch."
"The crux of why we're using the product is because of the automations, and we are very confident that the product will keep us secure at all times."
"Anyone who is considering working with Prisma Access should go ahead and implement it."
"The solution improved the consistency of our security controls and the BCP. There has been a 20 percent reduction in TCO. Prisma Access also enabled us to deliver better applications by centralizing security management."
"The overall rating for GlobalProtect is nine out of ten."
"Prisma Access provides comprehensive security. It provides URL filtering, application control, SSL, DLP, etc. It provides complete security for the cloud environment."
"We're now able to go after contracts that require a Zero Trust solution and Prisma's other technology solutions."
"The protection for web-based applications was helpful for my colleagues who didn't want a particular application on their devices. And the non-web access protection was more for our developers because they were writing and building code on their computers. Prisma Access was able to protect them."
"The most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."
"Technical support is very efficient and very supportive."
 

Cons

"The product's current price is an area of shortcoming where improvements are required."
"I wouldn't say Prisma is particularly useful for protecting data."
"Compared to other products, the price is slightly high. In fact, sometimes there is a large pricing gap."
"In general, it is good, but everything could be a little bit better. For example, they are working on including more data to catch or trying to reduce the gaps between the matches."
"Better integration with the MDM solution would be useful."
"Technical support could be a lot better."
"GlobalProtect can face challenges with latency, especially when remote workers connect to centralized locations."
"The only drawback at the moment is that a cloud solution like Prisma Access requires Palo Alto Panorama, which is normally a VM that sits in your data center."
"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price has been good for the ROI during these difficult times for the cruise industry. There are no hidden costs; what the product offers is what you get."
"The solution requires a license and the technical support has extra costs. The licensing model could improve."
"It's pricey, it's not cheap. But you get what you pay for."
"I'm still comparing, but the solution is quite expensive."
"In terms of pricing, considering that it is a two or three years old solution, they should apply big discounts for the next two or three years. This approach will be better for them to capture the market."
"There's no reason not to buy the enterprise version that gives you unlimited PoPs, but you must understand the limitations you impose on yourself if you do that. If you go crazy, that allowlist will be too big for Kubernetes clusters."
"We have to pay additional costs for maintenance and support services."
"Prisma Access is a little bit expensive."
"We are not happy with the recent increase in the price."
