We are making a leap to the organization with the apps and improving them through a good security infrastructure, we reinforce the connection since we have much monitoring in the company, and Palo Alto has given us a good network reinforcement experience, in addition, to providing us with continuous updates so that we are not left with an antiquated protected network.
  • 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
  • It has a stable connection, it is secure and it has very good help support, I think it is time to say that I have no negative things to say related to prism so far. Has fully met the demarcated objective.
Depending on the complexity of your equipment, devices, the network you are with, the size of your company, or the budget you are willing to pay, you should consider buying Prisma. I have in mind that it is a tool to make the leap to extra security for your devices; it is a complex tool that cannot be learned in a single day. Without a doubt, I would recommend her to a company that has a proven track record and knows what it wants.
  • I agree that the first is the security of stability that it gives us.
  • The expeditious support in which they have no drama in providing us with driving information in the wee hours of the evening.
  • Opening ports at ease.
  • An estimated return on investment will be obtained in approximately 1 year.
  • The delay in entering applications with extra security has been saved by 5% vs. the old application, similar to the prism that we had.
  • We have reduced many more intrusions.
  • We have been able to save money on hiring helpers on tumultuous meddling repairs in the past.

Our company uses [Palo Alto Networks] GlobalProtect Mobile Security [Manager] to manage the large number of mobile phones and devices we have around the globe in one place with one common piece of software. This is needed especially now more than ever with almost all of our 5k+ employees located in remote work from home scenarios.
  • Complete control and configuration of iOS devices across our network.
  • Great username options in the latest version to help keep our devices organized and easy to manage.
  • Easy to enroll devices to connect to the VPN.
  • 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.
With our work force most remotely for the unforeseeable future this has been an extremely useful tool to manage all our remote VPN access and iOS devices in one place. Easy to install and our users have very little issues getting connected and staying connected. Certificates can be a little tricky sometimes but it's rarely an issue.
  • All devices managed in one place
  • Ability to create different security levels/groups
  • Wide range of configuration options
  • This solved our problem of having more than one piece of software to manage access for different types of mobile devices.
  • Reduced our cost of needing multiple licenses to manage our VPN connectivity outside of the office.
Overall the main features are similar but we liked the ease of creating different configurations and security groups within Palo Alto and thought the cost was better for the overall value.

We are currently using this across the organization as our primary remote access tool for information workers. It was our replacement for Ciscos VPN solution was which was becoming burdensome to support as well as more difficult to manage with certificates. With a large push for remote work at our organization we needed a more seamless solution overall.
  • The ease of use through the panorama console is a big plus.
  • Users have reported back to us that they have had less issues getting connected.
  • Less latency in the connections in general.
  • It has created another area for us to manage some of the internet traffic for our users. Sites being open on-site and not on remote access or vice versa.
  • In general, the certificates are easier to handle than while on Cisco solution, it is still a pain to get the remote device a cert in place if it has "broken."
  • We would like to lock in the ability of which gateway we use to connect to the network. While it's not been an issue for us we have seen some oddness when using a different gateway than the preferred one.
I would highly recommend it as it surpassed our previous tool in almost all scenarios. The only reason why I may not suggest it is if you do not already have Palo Alto networks tools in place. I am unsure how the management of the system would be without the firewalls or networking devices in place.
  • The rollout process was extremely simple and easy to lock down so that end-users could not make changes to the agents.
  • Ease of use for the end users.
  • Part of our already in place eco system of vendor technologies.
  • 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.
The management of connections is much more seamless with the Palo tool. AnyConnect was always a nightmare to get in and manage individual connections to what can and cannot be accessed based on IP addresses. We ended going with the newer methodology of remote access so that our users would be authenticated prior to entering login credentials.

Palo Alto Mobile Madness

GlobalProtect addresses both desktop and mobile device security. We use it to permit access to company resources along with being able to manage the devices easily.
  • A single pane of glass in the Palo Alto ecosystem
  • A nice policy-based enforcement GUI that is easily managed
  • Many authentication configuration options supported.
  • Good technical support options with email and phone based.
  • It lags a bit on new features
  • It is best used with an entire Palo Alto environment
As long as you have a corporate standard it is relatively easy to configure and can be easily trained on. It falls short when there are a variety of devices and scenarios to support. The “one offs” make it more difficult to support and upgrade.
  • It is a bit expensive to utilize to its full extent with other Palo products.
  • The GUI is nice and is easy to train on.
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 was used by the whole organization. It provided secure access to the company network.
  • Easy to configure.
  • Authentication rules can be made as strict as required to satisfy stringent audits.
  • Easy for end users.
  • I thought it did all things required very well.
It is well suited for both small and large organizations. It is very configurable so it can grow with your organization's needs.
  • It allowed us to pass very strict audits from the world's largest banks.
  • It was easy for our IT department to implement.
Easier to implement and configure.
