We performed a comparison between Google Kubernetes Engine and Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has valuable security features. It can connect with multiple DevOps tools."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"We used automation for the initial setup. It was okay. So it wasn't too complex."
"The initial setup is very easy. We can create our cluster using the command line, or using our console."
"The solution is available across AWS, GCP and Azure and is seamless."
"It's easy to manage and deploy. It's the best."
"The product’s dashboard is very intuitive."
"The logs are important for detecting problems in our clusters."
"The visibility on alerts helps you investigate more easily and see details faster."
"Prisma Access provides comprehensive security. It provides URL filtering, application control, SSL, DLP, etc. It provides complete security for the cloud environment."
"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."
"I would say Twistlock is a fairly sophisticated tool."
"Comprehensive and valuable for providing security. It is scalable, its stability is impressive, and setting it up is straightforward."
"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."
"It provides good visibility and control regardless of the complexity."
"The CSPM and CWPP functionalities are pretty good."
"I use the Firebase tool with GKE and it would be helpful if the solution can give notifications when we reach the budget limit."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in this solution. For example, auto-scaling can be complex. We expect it to be easier to set up and manage, even for our customers."
"The tool's configuration features need improvement."
"I would like to see the ability to create multiple notebook configurations."
"While the GKE cluster is secure, application-level security is an essential aspect that needs to be addressed. The security provided by GKE includes the security of communication between nodes within the cluster and the basic features of Kubernetes security. However, these features may not be sufficient for the security needs of an enterprise. Additional security measures must be added to ensure adequate protection. It has become a common practice to deploy security tools within a Kubernetes cluster. It would be ideal if these tools were included as part of the package, as this is a standard requirement in the industry. Thus, application-level security should be integrated into GKE for improved security measures."
"I think that security is an important point, and there should be additional features for the evaluation of data in containers that will create a more secure environment for usage in multi-parent models."
"Their documentation is a little here and there. Sometimes, the information is not clear or updated. Their documentation should be a little bit better."
"They are missing some compatibility details in their documentation."
"They can improve the integrations into the SDLC lifecycle."
"Sometimes we do get false alerts. That should be improved."
"Some of the usability within the Compute functionality needs improvement. I think when Palo Alto added on the Twistlock functionality, they added a Compute tab on the left side of the navigation. Some of the navigation is just a little dense. There is a lot of navigation where there is a tab and dropdowns. So, just improving some of the navigation where there is just a very dense amount of buttons and drop-down menus, that is probably the only thing, which comes from having a lot of features. Because there are a lot of buttons, just navigating around the platform can be a little challenging for new users."
"The information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"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."
"We had some teething issues with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but overall, it did what we expected."
"Sometimes, when you assign subnets to regions, the IP address will jump from one location to another because it will automatically change substantially. Then, we need to add those IP subnets to our firewall for existing access. The need to update those subnets potentially causes maintenance or access issues. So far, we can only provide bigger customers with six subnets, and a small company may not be able to access those services."
