    Google Cloud CDN is available globally and supports various load balancers available in different regions around the globe, so I find Google Cloud CDN as one of the best choices for CDN as it serves globally and it is really fast, safe, and secure. It might be not suitable for you if you do not have any technical background.

    Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.

    • The intelligent categorization and management of site content cache in Google Cloud CDN is unique and offers the best results with simple settings.
    • It has powerful servers in all geographical regions of the world and the speed of the site will increase many times for the customer with smart routing.
    • It has AnyCast IP feature and website receives a single global IP address. In this case, the site loads at the same speed worldwide.

    • Traps doesn't seem to function as a traditional A/V very well, so it's better as another layer to your endpoint protection
    • Traps can cause issues with some legacy or custom programs, so exceptions may have to be made
    • Traps falsely identifies things as malicious at times, this is not often though

    Usability
    Google
    There is not really an interface for managing rules directly, compared to market leaders, Google's implementation is probably strong on the technical side but for the average user it might be lacking. There are no advanced features which can be compared to what other leaders in the CDN sector are providing or they can be achieved but with high implementation cost and usage of other products in the Google Cloud suite

    As every attacks get started because of user mistake or employee mistake. they click on any link they open any software without knowing its behavioural. But after Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR we able to identify what user is doing We can put sudden type of restriction as per our organization policy. If some malicious file is found it can be quarantined. easy remote terminal access for investogation rather going one by one user for endpoint if they are busy then we have to wait but now from console only we can do this all.

    Support Rating
    Google
    I didn't have the need to use support from Google when I was either testing or setting up my website. Information was easily found by searching online if I needed to, and the options that I needed to install or enable were there on the setup page. Honestly, I was a former systems administrator so most of this stuff is not challenging for me.

    The support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working.

    We have limited software developers and don't have the need for a big cloud service provider along with their costs. Google Cloud CDN brings to usr, reliability and brand familiarity. Google Cloud CDN also doesn't bother us with pitches or 1000 emails about the products. We went and signed up for it, without dealing with a pushy salesperson.

    Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps. McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • Google Cloud CDN has worked great as a tool to provide more reliable and faster interactive web experiences such as with e-learning sites.
    • The product can require additional training costs, even for experienced IT administrators.
    • Overall, ongoing costs can also be prohibitive for organizations with smaller web presences.

    • After putting Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR on a user's system, users came back with a positive response that there are no performance issues now.
    • We are able to track and control granular suspicious and malicious activities.
    • Web controls are missing, which if they would have been there would have been very helpful.
