    It is best suited for larger companies with lots of remote workers that need complex access management. We've barely scratched the surface on what Appgate can do via its API.

    I still think Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access is the best SASE/SSE product out there. It just has such good granular controls and up to date security definitions that you can feel absolutely secure in your purchase. GlobalProtect was a lifesaver for me when COVID hit so yes I had to work my butt off to get it up and running quickly and as secure as I possibly could but it worked amazing and had excellent performance after we got it running and tied to MFA, certificates and security policies.

    Palo Alto Networks
    • A secure end-to-end network with virtualization to be able to choose the port of our interest and an opening of the same.
    • Monthly updates that are sufficient, automatic updates that allow us not to have to do the manual implementation.
    • Prisma allows automatically opens an IPsec/SSL VPN connection to Prisma Access.
    • Is flexible and scalable

    Cons
    Appgate
    • Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
    • Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.

    Palo Alto Networks
    • With all of it's unique features it does take some time to get folks up to speed in regards to supporting/managing the software.
    • Doesn't always play nice with non Palo Alto software.

    I still say that Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access is the best. I love their GUI, their policies are easy to manage, the sales team is VERY helpful (especially when support is not). I still recommend them to everyone I talk to.

    The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.

    The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.

    The McAfee product really isn’t a great option. The configuration is a nightmare and requires a lot of time. The policy management has a high learning curve.

    • It is extremely easy to manage who has remote access in our organization now.
    • It has allowed us to more fluidly get remote workers up and running.
    • Another tool to mange is never a good thing and the Panorama UI could use a little work.
