Room For Improvement

Prisma Cloud needs user interface, integration, automation, cost, and support improvements, with better multi-cloud support and visibility.

Radware Cloud WAF Service needs enhanced reporting accuracy, interface usability, integration, support, training resources, and multilingual support.

We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts.

reviewer2776578

Cyber Security Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Even though documentation was available, it took a while for a new person to understand what integration meant, what will be achieved after the integration, or how the integration needed to be done on the Azure or AWS side.

Tanuj-Garg

CIO at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

To improve Radware Cloud WAF Service, I believe it should enable full application and API coverage to ensure all web applications and APIs, including internal and legacy web services, are onboarded.

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find Prisma Cloud expensive but valuable, with flexible pricing benefiting multi-cloud enterprises despite additional costs.

Radware Cloud WAF offers modular pricing, emphasizing early negotiation for cost-effective DDoS protection, service quality, and tailored features.

The cost was not on the higher side.

However, its price can be better so that small banks or small organizations can afford it and adopt it to secure their environment and data.

Valuable Features

Prisma Cloud enhances cloud security with real-time monitoring, automation, and CSPM for effective DevOps and multi-cloud protection.

For CWP, the runtime protection is the most valuable feature. Every tool does vulnerability monitoring through tools such as Qualys, but the additional feature we get here is runtime protection in CWP.

Mohammed Talib Khan

Cloud Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees

It is as easy as registering a new subscription to AWS, and you start seeing all that data.

Cyber Security Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Image scanning has supported consistent security practices during cloud deployment

On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.

Has significantly improved threat visibility and reduced false positives through intelligent bot detection and real-time analysis

The best features of Radware Cloud WAF Service that I prefer most include the bot protection. Its deployment was very smooth and flexible when I started deploying it. The reporting and visibility feature of the Bot Manager are noteworthy, as the dashboard gives clear insight into the traffic, activity, and block threats. The AI threat intelligence feature is quite impressive. In terms of blocking unknown threats and attacks, I assess Radware Cloud WAF Service as quite impressive; if I have to rate it out of 10, I would rate it eight and a half. The automated analytics for looking at events with Radware Cloud WAF Service is generally fine, and whenever we use it, it gives almost perfect results. In API protection with Radware Cloud WAF Service, we have multiple applications that we are using currently, and whenever there is any threat related to an API, it helps us provide detailed insight. Additionally, whenever there is unusual API traffic, it helps us monitor and detect threats.
