I would rate the scalability of Prisma Cloud as an eight out of ten. The only concern lies not with Prisma itself, but rather with the existing client environment. Many clients have flawed infrastructures, making it challenging to achieve the level of optimization required to fully realize the benefits of Prisma Cloud. However, this issue cannot be attributed to Prisma.

The platform constantly evolves regarding new features and functions, which can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but it's very scalable. It's just a matter of familiarizing myself with those functions and features. It's the type of tool that is constantly improving, and its scalability suits our environment well.

The product itself is scalable, but it can become unwieldy from the administrative side of things. I can push Prisma Cloud out for 10,000 workloads, but the reporting and management would be a bit difficult. I prefer to have it segmented across multiple tenants, but it's somewhat complicated.

We have 4,000 licenses. We have Prisma Cloud in 16 different countries with a total of about 2,100 people. We do not have a large presence in the Extreme East or Middle East, but we have people connecting from Europe and also from Russia. It works perfectly.

Its usage will increase when there is a new acquisition or there is a new office somewhere in the world.

Nowadays, all cloud solutions are scalable; scalability should be a given feature and does not need to be asked for.

A maximum of ten people have administrative-level access, which will be used by 50 to 60 Security Operations Center personnel. This personnel must log in with various role-based access rights. In total, we have around 70 people using the solution.

Because I'm using the SaaS version, there is no issue with scalability. It all depends on the credits and the amount of money that you have put into the tool. Aside from that, you can use it to onboard any cloud account no matter how many resources are in it.

CL
Director of Information Security Architecture at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

The scalability is excellent. Palo keeps adding cloud support, such as for Alibaba, Oracle, and others.

We have approximately 5,500 employees. Our deployment is all-encompassing overwatch to all of our AWS accounts, of which there are 66. We also have two or three different folders within GCP.

We do have plans to increase our usage. This includes using it for more of its capabilities. For example, there is a workload protection link that we haven't fully embraced. There are also some network security features and some dashboarding and geo-mapping capabilities that we could make better use of.

Platform Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

It's a SaaS service and is licensed both for our team and for the enterprise. On our side, there are 1,000-plus user licenses. We have five or six integration points, so in that regard, it's not humongous.

We are growing extremely quickly, and Prisma Cloud provides all the required services without any need for us to do anything to scale. It's pretty elastic. We'll probably grow by 10 times in the next couple of years. So far, I don't have any doubts that Prisma will support us.

We haven't used Prisma at scale. It hasn't grown since we deployed. We have four clusters but haven't added anything. We still keep the four clusters. We didn't add anything. In the coming months, we'll replicate this with other customers once we see that the solution is stable.

As of now, we have not put a load on the system, so we will only know about how it handles that when we start migrating our services. For now, we've just built the landing zones and only very few services are there. It will take like a year or so before we know how it will handle our load.

This is our main firewall solution. We are not relying on the cloud-based firewall as of now. All our traffic is going through Prisma Cloud. Once we add our workloads, we will be using the full capacity of the solution.

The scalability is very good. The notable exception is on the Lambda function side. We have had some challenges with its ability to scale up and scan all versions of deployed functions in a timely fashion. Otherwise, in the container space and public cloud space on the RedLock side, it has been very good in terms of scaling up to meet our demands.

25 people use this solution. Seven of those would be people on the cloud SecOps team, and the balance of them would be a mix of developers, DevOps engineers, and incident response.

There are dozens more pipelines for us to integrate with. The bulk of the growth will be organic to new app teams, who are in different business units in the enterprise.

It is pretty scalable. When we deploy new AWS accounts within our organization, it applies the same security posture policies to those accounts as well. We can see the security postures it recommends whenever we onboard any new accounts with our organization. The scalability is very good with the management it provides for any accounts we onboard.

Palo Alto Networks is one of the fastest-growing security products in our organization.

We use it pretty much daily, several days a week. We are licensed for 200 workloads in Prisma Cloud.

We are definitely still working on maturing some of our operations. We have a pretty small infrastructure team; just two engineers who are focused on infrastructure. We are trying to automate as much as we can, and Prisma Cloud supports most of that. There are still some cases where you have to log into the Console and do some clicking around. However, for the most part, we are trying to automate as much as we can to scale those operations with a very small infrastructure and security team.

It seems to scale fine for us. We started out with 10 to 15 accounts in there and we're now up to over 200 accounts and, on our end, seemingly nothing has changed. It's as responsive as it's ever been. We just send off our logs. Everything seems to integrate properly with no complaints on our side.

We have nearly 600 users in the system, and they're broken out into two different levels. There are the full system administrators, like myself and my team and the security team that is responsible for our cloud environment as a whole. We have visibility across the entire environment. And then we have the development teams and they are really limited to accessing their specific accounts that are deployed into Prisma Cloud. They have full control over those accounts.

For our cloud environments, the adoption rate is pretty much 100 percent. A lot of that has to do with that automated deployment we created. A new account gets started and it is automatically added to the tool. All of the monitoring is configured and everything else is set up by default. You can't build a new cloud account in our environment without it getting added in. We have full coverage, and we intend to keep it that way.

It's pretty scalable because of the API. I liked how simple the console was and how simple the API was. There was no complexity; it was straightforward. The API documentation was also very good so it was pretty easy to scale. You could automate pretty much everything. You could automate the certificate information, you could automate the access for developers, and a lot of other stuff. It was a pretty modern solution. Using APIs and containers, it was pretty scalable.

RM
Director, Cloud Engineering at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees

The scalability has been good for our use cases.

When we first adopted it, a single console could cover 1,000 hosts that were running container workloads. That was more than enough for us, and to date it has been more than enough for us, because we have multiple network environments that need to stay separated, from a connectivity standpoint. We've needed to put up multiple consoles, one to serve each of those network environments. Within each of those network environments, we have not needed to scale up to 1,000 yet.

There's wide adoption across our organizations, but at the same time there is tremendous room to grow with those organizations. Many organizations are using it somewhat, but we are probably at 20 to 25 percent of where we need to be.

It's safe to say we have several hundred people working with the solution, but it's not 1,000 yet. They are primarily developers. There are some operational folks who use it as well. To me, that speaks to the ease of deployment and administration of this solution. You really don't need a large operational group to deploy. When it comes to security, incident response, and the continuous monitoring aspects that a continual security team does, I don't have insight because I don't work in that area of the company, but I see that as expanding down the road. It's another area of growth for us.

Prisma Cloud provides security spanning multi- and hybrid-cloud environments. This is very important because we want our solutions to scale with us. We should be able to operate in all public clouds.

We have plans to increase usage. We will be using it extensively.

We had deployed it on-prem like it was on our infrastructure. It is primarily in our hands how we want to scale it because we could have run that across all of our data centers and multiply the licenses because it was fairly easy to acquire this. We have a running relationship with Palo Alto but we did not face any direct issues with scalability at the moment because we were running it on our premises.

Currently, there are around eight to 10 people who are working with Prisma, but we are still bringing it up to maturity. So, majorly, I and a couple of my colleagues are working with Prisma. The others have the account, but they are not active with respect to Prisma. Almost all of us are from InfoSec.

It is a scalable solution. No matter how many accounts you add, it still can scale. Even the reports that we set up run pretty quickly. They have done a good job of making their platform scalable.

We have been acquiring companies quite a bit recently so we will be using Prisma Cloud heavily. This is our only company-approved CSPM tool. Even though we have some of the native tools in use, like Security Hub from AWS, or Azure Security Center, now called Defender for Cloud in Azure, the official CSPM is Prisma Cloud. It is the center of attraction for us so it is being used by everybody. In the future, we will be adding more accounts as needed until a decision is made on Wiz. We still have a good amount of time left in our Prisma Cloud contract, so we are not looking to switch to Wiz anytime soon.
