User Testimonials
	NordVPN	Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access
Likelihood to Recommend	Nord Security NordVPN is easier to use and deploy in your system and this work for all devices and operating system. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Palo Alto Networks 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.

Pros	Nord Security Maintain your privacy even in connection failures Good upload and download speed in most locations Very intuitive and easy to use Very simple and fast installation Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Nord Security Blocks software when at home Incentivized John Wood CTC President Read full review	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Nord Security Not quite perfect. When using at home, some travel software does not function Incentivized John Wood CTC President Read full review	Palo Alto Networks 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.

Alternatives Considered	Nord Security It is an inexpensive and simple tool. It offers better speed and minimal ping. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Palo Alto Networks 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Nord Security My work load is more improve and easy now great protection from online threat. speed is little bit slow but i can managed. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Palo Alto Networks 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.
