"The solution is scalable."

"Most of our customers are using the load balancing feature and also the verification feature is good as well, in my experience."

"Overall, the cost savings, ease of deployment, and better VPN user experience and performance are valuable."
"This solution provides a DLP on the cloud and very few people have a scanning device for data at rest."

"Being able to use the user ID or Active Directory Group is one of the great features for control and providing more flexibility without worrying about IP addresses."
"To quarantine and clean a malware file provides a lot of security."

"It protects all app traffic so that users can gain access to all apps. Unlike other solutions that only work from ports 80 and 443, which are predominantly for web traffic, Prisma Access covers all protocols and works on all traffic patterns... The most sophisticated attacks can arise from sources that are not behind 80/443."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The solution has unnecessary limitations."
"Lacks access through a mobile device."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The dashboard or interface should be more clear in reporting issues. Integration with other applications should be more user-friendly."

"Technical support could be improved."
"I would like to see better configuration of repairs and downloading certification."
"When it comes to the VDA environment, making it additionally stable is important."
"The licensing model isn't flexible enough. It's an all-or-nothing model. Other providers in the market allow you to buy modules or add-ons separately. With Prisma Access, you have to purchase the same module for all users."
"One area for improvement is for them to stay on top of keeping their CVEs on their platform up to date."
"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."
"We would like to see improvements in the licensing; currently, Palo Alto provides 500 to 1000 licenses for users, and we want to see 1500 to 2000 licenses for one version."
"Prisma would be a stronger solution if it could aggregate resources by project or by application. So say we have an application we've developed in AWS and five applications we've developed in Azure. The platform will group it according to those applications, but it's based on the tags we use in Azure, which means I have to rely on development teams to tag resources properly."
"There is room for improvement in the multi-environment visibility, especially around containers."
"Their next release should provide solutions for the mobile environment."
"Sometimes, we encountered a portal crash. When we told Palo Alto they said it might be the browser or cache, but I think they need to improve it on their side."
