"A stable licensing model is absent"
"The tool's onboarding of users that use on-premise or hybrid environments needs to be improved."
"It's a bit complicated to manage because you have many dependencies of servers, many dependencies in queue, and so on. Entries or different endpoints, and you make different configuration topics for each one. So that's a major problem."
"It has to be more scalable for the deployment of VMs on the cloud."
"Recently, they introduced their Prisma Cloud solution. Compared to the previous technologies, like Panorama, which is used for centralized firewall management, or even the individual firewalls, it's a bit challenging to integrate the traditional firewall policies into Prisma Cloud."
"The only minor issue we've faced is with the app's ID configuration, which requires specific matching for application filtering."
"The command-line interface is something that some people struggle with and I think that they should have an option to go straight to the GUI."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration of multi-factor authentication vendors."
"The interface is all Java-based. I would prefer an HTML5 interface."
"The one issue that I didn't like is that the SNMP integration with interfaces didn't record the interface counters."
"The product could be better in terms of performance than one of its competitors."
