We performed a comparison between Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and Zscaler CSPM 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.
"It is a good solution. Each team should utilize it. Every good organization is now moving towards or trying to be provider agnostic, so if you are using multiple providers, you should at least give Prisma Cloud a try."
"Palo Alto enables us to know what security threats are happening in the background."
"The CSPM and CWPP functionalities are pretty good."
"The support is excellent."
"Prisma Cloud's inventory reporting is pretty good."
"My favorite feature is the CWPP module. We can define various kinds of rules for vulnerabilities, incidents, or suspicious activities."
"The application visibility is amazing. For example, sometimes we don't know what a particular custom port is for and what is running on it. The visibility enables us to identify applications, what the protocol is, and what service is behind it. Within Azure, it is doing a great job of providing visibility. We know exactly what is passing through our network. If there is an issue of any sort we are able to quickly detect it and fix the problem."
"In addition to that, I can get a snapshot of what I deemed were the priority vulnerabilities, whether it was identity access management, key rotation, or secrets management. Whatever you deem to be a priority for mitigating threats for your environment, you can get that as a snapshot."
"The agent's versatility is notable, used for digital experience monitoring to collect valuable endpoint metrics for troubleshooting."
"The product provides a seamless user experience."
"The most valuable feature is its seamless integration capabilities, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for extensive installations."
"This secure connection allows users to connect to the Zscaler VPN and access the resources on the office network, making it a highly valuable component of our system."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"We'd like to have more native integration with clouds and additional security checks in the future."
"Palo Alto should work on ease-of-use and the user-friendliness to be more competitive with some competing products."
"They can improve the integrations into the SDLC lifecycle."
"Prisma is good about compliance, and their support is excellent, but they struggle with automation and integration. They need to stay on top of the newest types of connectors. How can you connect other applications and other tools in order for this to work cohesively? That's a challenge."
"We would like it to have more features from the risk and compliance perspectives."
"The visibility on the SIEM needs to be streamlined so we can get the data without any issues."
"The area for improvement is less about the product and more about the upsell. If we've already agreed that we'd like your product x, y, or z, don't try to add fries to my burger. I don't need it."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
"Having a Zscaler-specific device could streamline this process and provide a more consistent user experience across diverse branches."
"The product is not reliable."
"Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation."
