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."I like Prisma's ability to integrate with other tools. We can integrate it with Jira so that when Prisma triggers an alert, it opens a ticket in Jira. That was a big selling point for the product. There's a feature called the guest custom template that allows you to trigger alerts in Jira based on the template. That can also be added as a feature on Jira."
"The dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature."
"Prisma Cloud's most important feature is its auto-remediation."
"As a pure-play CSPM, it is pretty good. From the data exposure perspective, Prisma Cloud does a fairly good job. Purely from the perspective of reading the conflicts, it is able to highlight any data exposures that I might be having."
"It provides insights into potential vulnerabilities in our code, helping us identify and rectify issues before they can be exploited."
"CSPM is the most valuable feature."
"CSPM is very useful because it gives us good policies and violation alerts."
"The solution's dashboard looks very user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its seamless integration capabilities, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for extensive installations."
"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."
"Though Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks provides excellent security, is a pioneer in this space, and knows what it's doing, from a user perspective, it would have been better if it was a little easier to use."
"There needs to be a mechanism that allows me to manually configure compliance more easily."
"The information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"Based on my experience, the customization—especially the interface and some of the product identification components—is not as customizable as it could be. But it makes up for that with the fact that we can access the API and then build our own systems to read the data and then process and parse it and hand it to our teams."
"They charge seven workloads for monitoring one compute, and that is quite expensive. This makes it difficult to move fully with the compute part because of the workload."
"We are encountering issues with the new permissions required for AWS integration with Prisma."
"They are missing some compatibility details in their documentation."
"We would like it to have more features from the risk and compliance perspectives."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
"Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation."
"The product is not reliable."
"Having a Zscaler-specific device could streamline this process and provide a more consistent user experience across diverse branches."
