We performed a comparison between NGINX App Protect 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 stable solution."
"It has the best documentation features."
"The most valuable feature is that I can establish different services from the firewall."
"It's very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is that there is a link in the system that will help to analyze the security of an application when something abnormal is found."
"NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks."
"NGINX App Protect is stable."
"The stability of the product is very impressive since it handles 60,000 to 70,000 requests or transactions per second."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"The most valuable feature is its cloud security posture management."
"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."
"Prisma Cloud's monitoring features such as the compute compliance dashboard and the vulnerability dashboard, where we can get a clear visualization of their docker, have also been valuable. We can get layer-by-layer information that helps us see exactly where it's noncompliant. They update the dashboards quite frequently."
"The most valuable feature is the option to add custom queries using the RQL language that they supply so that we can customize the compliance frameworks to what we need to look for."
"It scans our containers in real time. Also, as they're built, it's looking into the container repository where the images are built, telling us ahead of time, "You have vulnerabilities here, and you should update this code before you deploy." And once it's deployed, it's scanning for vulnerabilities that are in production as the container is running."
"It has helped us understand the dynamic topology of our containers, and manage security through the application of policies that our pipelines apply straight from Git."
"You can also integrate with Amazon Managed Services. You can also get a snapshot in time, whether that's over a 24-hour period, seven days, or a month, to determine what the estate might look like at a certain point in time and generate reports from that for vulnerability management forums."
"Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI."
"NGINX App Protect could improve security."
"The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings as it can be quite confusing for users, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time."
"The setup of NGINX App Protect is complex. The full process took one week to complete. Additionally, we had to change the network infrastructure platform which took one month."
"I encountered issues with NGINX App Protect while trying to upgrade custom rules."
"The dashboard could provide a more comprehensive view of the status of the connections."
"I think Prisma Cloud could improve its preventive governance policy and CWP run time modules."
"Sometimes we do get false alerts. That should be improved."
"The UI could be improved."
"They charge seven workloads for monitoring one compute, and that is quite expensive. This makes it difficult to move fully with the compute part because of the workload."
"A couple of exporting functionalities should be more user-friendly because if I want to export something, I can get a lot of data visible to that particular CSV."
"One thing that is missing is Cloud Run runtime security—serverless. That would be great to have in the tool. It's not that easy to have Cloud Run in specific environments."
"The innovation side of the solution could be more efficient and more detailed."
"We had some teething issues with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but overall, it did what we expected."
