Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Most Important Features
  • 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.
Return on Investment
  • 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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Most Important Features
  • All devices managed in one place
  • Ability to create different security levels/groups
  • Wide range of configuration options
Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Most Important Features
  • 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.
Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
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.
