We performed a comparison between Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP and Prisma Access by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."I love the work involved in maintaining and scaling security services and configurations across multiple public clouds using this solution, versus using native native cloud security controls. It is so much better. The different cloud platforms all have their own way that they handle a lot of the stuff that Dome9 handles. Even within their platform, they are in a lot of disparate places, e.g., in AWS, there are five different tools. You have to jump between them to get the same information that you can just pull in automatically on Dome9, which is just one platform. We are using multiple platforms, so that makes it even more complicated and time consuming if you had to just rely on them to get all of your information. Whereas, it's all just summarized and put together on the Dome9 end."
"The visibility in our cloud environment is the most valuable feature."
"The CloudGuard for Cloud Intelligence tool has several significant features that provide security to our company."
"Dome9 continues to be a major piece of our cloud security architecture and has given our senior leadership team a high degree of confidence in our ability to protect our cloud environment."
"It presents a real-time database that is always updated."
"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"This solution provides threat prevention and detection of anomalies automatically and investigates the activity of each one of them."
"The new scanning function is a valuable feature that wasn't available until recently."
"The most valuable features of the solution are in the areas of the secure remote access it provides while also being user-friendly."
"Prisma SaaS is very easy to use; it's common sense — it's the best-in-class."
"You have the ability to create your own expressions for your data. Palo Alto understands that DLP is not the same for all consumers. You might have a particular need to fulfill, and they give you the opportunity to create a custom expression to match the specific format that you have. For a confidential file property that you have in your files, you can add a metadata field. It gives you that opportunity to create that."
"Its frontend is user-friendly. It is easy to use for us."
"It's much faster and more secure than legacy solutions. It is also quite stable and scalable as well. We are able to see all the traffic in one place."
"We have an application called ADEM that helps us troubleshoot network-related issues. It helps us to isolate an issue whether it is on the ISP level, endpoint level, or system access level."
"Prisma integrates well with Cortex XDR and Cortex Data Lake. My company has been also using Prisma Access in-house for nearly a year, and it integrates seamlessly."
"Being able to use the user ID or Active Directory Group is one of the great features for control and providing more flexibility without worrying about IP addresses."
"The Check Point solution is somewhat expensive."
"In Dome9, there should be a policy validation option where we can validate the policy before we push it into production."
"The costs are really high if you want the entire capabilities of the platform."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"Their service needs improvement."
"The guidelines to implement or to link with the clouds are not complete."
"The setup can be better. With every other Check Point product, the setup is scripted. You just approve versions, and then you are off. The setup for this solution is still very much manual. I would like to see that transition to more of a scripted setup."
"Palo Alto Prisma 10 came out over a year ago. Palo Alto added this identity management feature. The legacy way Palo Alto selected which user is sitting on an IP address it passes through has been clunky."
"The product's current price is an area of shortcoming where improvements are required."
"One thing that would help is if we could get a guide. With Cisco, for example, you can just type the problem regarding your Cisco product and you will easily get your solution. In Palo Alto, however, it's not easy to find the solutions."
"Its integration with non-Palo Alto products can be improved. Currently, it is easy to integrate it with other Palo Alto products such as Cortex XDR. It integrates well with other Palo Alto products. A major part of our network is based on Palo Alto products, but for those companies that use multi-vendor products in their infrastructure, Palo Alto should optimize the integration of Prisma Access with the network devices from other vendors."
"Dependencies of applications sometimes is a bit confusing."
"Sometimes, you have these notifications sent out about changes in App-IDs, modifications in App-IDs, or even the introduction of entirely new App-IDs to replace. Sometimes, the recommendations are followed, but even then, when the package is installed on the firewall, it gets messed up. I remember a particular one was with Tableau, and suddenly, people weren't able to use Tableau, which is an analytics tool for business."
"There is room for improvement in the multi-environment visibility, especially around containers."
"I would like the solution to support a different type of authentication. We can't configure a secondary method for our portal."
