Reviews from Real Users
Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics
users who are currently using the solution.
PeerSpot user Partha D., Global Network Tech Lead at a computer software company, speaks about his experience using the product, saying, "It protects all app traffic so that users can gain access to all apps. Unlike other solutions that only work from ports 80 and 443, which are predominantly for web traffic, Prisma Access covers all protocols and works on all traffic patterns... The most sophisticated attacks can arise from sources that are not behind 80/443."
Tejas J., a Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a computer software company, mentions that "it is geographically dispersed, and it sits on top of Google and AWS platforms. Therefore, you don't face the standard issues, such as latency or bandwidth issues, that you usually face in the case of on-prem data centers.”
Another PeerSpot reviewer, Max I., Associate Director at Cognizant, comments that "Security is absolutely spot-on, really top-notch. It's the result of all the components that come together, such as the HIP [Host Information Profile] and components like Forcepoint, providing end-user content inspection, and antivirus. It incorporates DLP features and that's fantastic because Prisma Access makes sure that all of the essential prerequisites are in place before a user can log in or can be tunneled into."

|---|---|---|
| Senior DevOps Expert at Telenor | 4.0 | I've worked with Prisma Access since 2019, primarily integrating it with GlobalProtect VPN and managing cloud networks. Its most valuable features include ZTNA 2.0 and CASB. However, Palo Alto's operational and support model needs improvement to better address customer issues. |
| Senior Manager for Infrastructure at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | We currently use GlobalProtect for our on-premises security but are exploring Prisma Access and Azure VPN to enhance remote support. GlobalProtect's cloud security features are beneficial, though latency challenges exist. We've yet to calculate the ROI. |
| Security Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | I primarily use Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks to control internet access and as a secure remote work solution. Its management of on-premise firewalls is valuable, though it lacks integration with third-party solutions. I also evaluated Triscale and Netskope. |
| CyberSecurity Specialist at Aiuken Cybersecurity | 4.0 | I'm using Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks for firewall tasks like rule changes and threat blocking; it's reliable and a major upgrade, though the interface and permissions system are complex and need improvement. |
| Network and Security Engineer at a security firm with 11-50 employees | 3.5 | We provide security services using Prisma Access to secure SaaS application traffic, despite some dashboard response and policy implementation delays. While previously using Zscaler, we switched to Prisma Access for better integration with Palo Alto's solutions. |
| Network Security Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Connectivity Platform Cyber Security Specialist at BASF Business Services GmbH | 4.0 | I use Prisma Access for client-based VPN remote access. Its reduced complexity and security are valuable features. However, on-premise scalability requires additional licenses and infrastructure expansion. Although security and scalability need improvement, it offers a good return on investment. |
| Cyber Security Engineer at Paysafe / IBM | 4.0 | Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks effectively secured our remote workforce during COVID, offering robust features like custom signatures and auto-scaling. However, it lacks certain web gateway functionalities compared to solutions like Zscaler and could improve GlobalProtect's capabilities. |
