On the other hand, Prisma Access offers robust security features, global performance, and integration capabilities with other Palo Alto platforms. It may be more challenging to set up and configure, and some users have faced difficulties with the user interface and updates. Jamf Connect is considered reasonably priced, while Prisma Access is seen as higher-priced but worth it for its quality. Customer support for both products has received mixed feedback, with room for improvement according to some users.
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"The solution is scalable."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature because we can easily monitor all kinds of stuff coming over the network. We can check the dashboard and work accordingly."
"The tool's consolidation is pretty quick."
"Security is absolutely spot-on, really top-notch. It's the result of all the components that come together, such as the HIP [Host Information Profile] and components like Forcepoint, providing end-user content inspection, and antivirus. It incorporates DLP features and that's fantastic because Prisma Access makes sure that all of the essential prerequisites are in place before a user can log in or can be tunneled into."
"This solution provides a DLP on the cloud and very few people have a scanning device for data at rest."
"The protection for web-based applications was helpful for my colleagues who didn't want a particular application on their devices. And the non-web access protection was more for our developers because they were writing and building code on their computers. Prisma Access was able to protect them."
"We're now able to go after contracts that require a Zero Trust solution and Prisma's other technology solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud-native, in my opinion, is that it assists in identifying, analyzing, and remediating vulnerabilities."
"There is a system for monitoring the traffic. You can monitor the traffic of the connected people and point out any issues on the connection part."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
"It wasn't so satisfying to work with it. There is room for improvement in the policy management. It is difficult to cover the entire scenery through Palo Alto products."
"I would like to see better pricing and an easier logging process. Also, if there was a way to log a global log, everything could go onto the system. It would be better if there was a third log, otherwise one would have to do everything manually."
"One area for improvement is for them to stay on top of keeping their CVEs on their platform up to date."
"Prisma's integration between operational technology and IT should be more seamless. Right now, it requires additional setup and maintenance."
"The price can be reduced to make it more competitive."
"There is some particular traffic that the security team wants to filter out and apply their own policies and they cannot."
"The product's current price is an area of shortcoming where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in the multi-environment visibility, especially around containers."
