We performed a comparison between Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution will streamline and minimize manual efforts."
"The support is excellent."
"Integration is very easy. And because it supports security that spans multi- and hybrid-cloud environments, it's very easy to use."
"It provides insights into potential vulnerabilities in our code, helping us identify and rectify issues before they can be exploited."
"Prisma Cloud's most important feature is its auto-remediation."
"One of the most valuable features is the compliance of RedLock, which we are using for any issues with security. It flags them and that's the primary objective of that feature."
"The solution's dashboard looks very user-friendly."
"Due to the maturity of most companies, security posture management is the most valuable feature."
"The microsegmentation is great, and the security team thinks it is great."
"The we can actually extend Layer 2 networking across datacenters, and also Layer 3 networking, which comes along with it."
"I am impressed with the tool's protection."
"VMware NSX's overlay network is its most valuable feature, as it aligns with any network philosophy and allows for efficient addressing mechanisms. Additionally, the ability to extend the on-premise network into the provider space is beneficial. There are many features provided."
"Provides protection for virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the high bandwidth."
"The microsegmentation is a good feature. You can segment details, products, or hardware information."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and user interface."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"We would like it to have more features from the risk and compliance perspectives."
"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."
"Getting new guys trained on using the solution requires some thought. If someone is already trained on Palo Alto then he's able to adapt quickly. But, if someone is coming from another platform such as Fortinet, or maybe he's from the system side, that is where we need some help. We need to find out if there is an online track or training that they can go to."
"They can improve the integrations into the SDLC lifecycle."
"A better correlation between the multiple products Prisma Cloud contains would be crucial. It would reduce the time spent looking at reports and enable you to get all the actionable insights across products. I think that Palo Alto is working on it, but they need to work faster because it doesn't make sense to have all these products in a single pane of glass without any correlation between them."
"They could improve more features for the enterprise version of the solution."
"The solution does not currently support servers for GCP."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"They could branch out to the physical layer."
"Quite a complex solution."
"The price is rather high."
"We have been satisfied with the technical support. They were able to solve our problems. However, they could be faster."
"They have to work more and more on the integration for public cloud services and have cyber security platform integration."
"They have some limitations in the firewall features as compared to the on-prem or dedicated hardware appliance. They can add more features, such as IPS and IDS, to the cloud firewall."
"I would like to have automating reporting built into common service management platforms, such as JIRA, Serviceaide, and ServiceNow."
