Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, Wiz and others in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)."The two most valuable features are container security and the capability to discover workloads."
"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."
"The framework to configure controls is pretty good; it's pretty sophisticated. We can implement a fair amount of testing for a fair number of controls."
"It supports the multi-cloud environment beautifully."
"We are provided with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile compliance reports."
"I find the CSPM area to be a more valuable and flexible feature."
"The container and serverless security is most valuable. It is quite a new technology for this region. Even though containers have been there for a long time, the adoption of containers is very minimal in this region. When it comes to using Kubernetes containers in a complex architecture, there is a lack of security in the market. People aren't aware of the security controls or the process for governance. Container security provided by Prisma Cloud is quite good at filling that gap."
"It has a feature for customized security policy. I implement it in banking, health insurance, and other sectors, and every organization has its own customized policies and procedures. In Prisma Cloud, you can customize policies, and based on that, you can do monitoring."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"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."
"The UI could be improved."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"While the code security feature has undergone recent enhancements, there is room for improvement in terms of its cost module."
"Getting new guys trained on using the solution requires some thought. If someone is already trained on Palo Alto then he's able to adapt quickly. But, if someone is coming from another platform such as Fortinet, or maybe he's from the system side, that is where we need some help. We need to find out if there is an online track or training that they can go to."
"It would be nice Prisma Cloud merged its modules for CSPM and infrastructure as code. It would simplify the pricing and make it easier for customers to evaluate the solution because there are different modules, and you need to add it to your subscription separately."
"They are missing some compatibility details in their documentation."
"I think Prisma Cloud could improve its preventive governance policy and CWP run time modules."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
