AWS Config vs. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud

It's really good if your infrastructure services is all in AWS, that means everything could be audited and monitored using AWS config. You also can create alarms to notify you or your team about any changes on your AWS resources which is very useful to prevent abuse if you have a fairly large team. It's also very useful whenever some third party wants to audit your AWS resources, if you have a fairly comprehensive AWS config configured, the auditing process will be easy since they only need to look at your AWS config setup.

Finding specific Cloud Vendor specific Cloud resource configuration, tags, network information and etc. is fairly easy to do. Cloud alert capabilities are pretty good and with proper knowledge top notch alerts can be created. Only downside I can think of is ease of use.

• The ability to track changes in AWS is paramount, AWS config allows you to do this
• Allows the auditing of an AWS account
• Can view history of an account that has AWS config enabled

• Vulnerability assessment using Twistlock
• Enhancing Security by scanning workload based on different Security standards and provide a compliance report
• CF template integration with CI/CD pipeline to identify any security issue before workload are deployed
• IAM/UEBA features additional to enchaining security posture
• Auto remediation
• Integration is simple and solution is supported on multiple cloud
• Customized dashboard/queries

• It's only AWS, no third party.
• Not the most intuitive interface, but with a little getting used to it is OK.

• Real-time supports would be much appreciated. At the moment they have a third-party ticketing support tool, which can be replaced with real-time support, which can be provided to the user at the time of the issue.
• The user should be provided with all the learning material by the Palo Alto team at the time of license purchase. This would save a lot of users' time, which is taken up by research and finding the correct documents from the website.
• Themes can be introduced in the feature set, which would help the user customize the software as per their needs.

Would rate lower for other workloads but for AWS workloads its simple to set up, cost effective and customisable. Primary use case is compliance from a governance perspective.

I do not know or have used any other product in AWS cloud space that matches what AWS Config provides. We have some custom built monitoring and governance, however that is there because AWS Config does not provide it currently.

Our organization didn't consider any other tool, and so far we are pretty much satisfied with Prisma Cloud.
