Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access vs. Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX)

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.

• 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

• 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 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

• 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.
