We are providing support to multiple clients on the cloud as Managed Service Providers for different cloud services, mainly Azure, GCP, and AWS. So Prisma Cloud is one of the tools we onboard our clients on to make sure there are no misconfigurations and the compliance around the infrastructure fulfills the requirements.
  • Support of multiple cloud service providers.
  • UI is easy to use and navigate.
  • Security enhancement by providing compliance reports.
  • IAM control needed.
  • Need to provide 24/7 Support.
Well Suited: Where cloud infrastructure needed assessment regarding configurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance. When needed, hybrid or multi-cloud support is needed.
  • Centralized Dashboard.
  • Reporting
  • Generate the alert.
  • Integration with Zendesk.
  • Multi cloud support.
  • Help reduce the cost by assisting what resources can be removed according to usage.
  • Report the vulnerabilities.
  • Time saved in investigating the issue.
Our organization didn't consider any other tool, and so far we are pretty much satisfied with Prisma Cloud.

I am a Prisma data user, I use it daily to investigate cybersecurity alerts and incidents. Prisma Cloud solves the problem of using multiple different vendor cloud dashboards to find required cloud asset information. Within Prisma Cloud everything is in one place and once you learn KQL it's a time saver finding required information of cloud assets.
  • KQL Language is easy
  • UI is pretty and easy to use
  • Data seems to be reliable
  • Asset explorer is difficult to use.
  • No good documentation for manual search
  • Hard to use for new users
Finding specific Cloud Vendor specific Cloud resource configuration, tags, network information and etc. is fairly easy to do.
Cloud alert capabilities are pretty good and with proper knowledge top notch alerts can be created. Only downside I can think of is ease of use.
  • Asset search
  • Alerting
  • Configuration history
  • Investigation time is severely reduced
  • Has potential to identify misconfigurations
  • Hard to setup
Prisma Cloud stacks well with other similar Palo Alto products. UI is beautiful, has decent documentation and some trainings as in other platforms.

We have been using Prisma (Redlock and Twistlock) for monitoring our Cloud Workload hosted on multiple Cloud across multiple Account. The Solution helps us to identify any issue in terms of Security such as configuration/monitoring/IAM/Vulnerability and more.
It provides us the compliance status on workload hosted on multiple clouds with respect to multiple compliance standards such as CIS,NIST and more
We are able to schedule reports and alerts which help us to enhance our security posture. It's able to scan or identify any vulnerability at OS level by deploying Agent on Workload. Integration with CF templates helps us to identify any security issues before workload is deployed in our environment.


  • Vulnerability assessment using Twistlock
  • Enhancing Security by scanning workload based on different Security standards and provide a compliance report
  • CF template integration with CI/CD pipeline to identify any security issue before workload are deployed
  • IAM/UEBA features additional to enchaining security posture
  • Auto remediation
  • Integration is simple and solution is supported on multiple cloud
  • Customized dashboard/queries
  • IAM control need enhancement as there are few features missing
  • Support on all Container solution such as Pivotal PCF
  • Number of Security Policy for scanning is less and required more policy to identify a security issue
  • Cloud is not hosted in India
  • Firewall Policy on Container required some enhancement for blocking communication between workload
  • Enabling Proxy for connecting on-prem workload container to cloud
  • Solution should not require write access to a cloud account. It should have capabilities of using existing cloud API for remediation or making changes on Cloud
Vulnerability assessment is a requirement within the solution.
Where Organization has on-prem and cloud workload and on-prem workload has to connect locally (on-Prem). Primsa Provide capability of hosting solution on-prem or on cloud-based on organization requirement and license can be shared between both On-Prem/Cloud workload.
Where organizations want to have the flexibility of using Twistlock or Redlock (Vulnerability assessment for OS or Monitoring/remediation of cloud workload) with a single license. Prisma Enterprise license provides the capability of using Twistlock or Redlock on a need basis
  • Remediation (Auto/Manual)
  • Centralize Security Dashboard for multiple cloud or account
  • Reporting based on Standard such as CIS and More
  • Vulnerability assessment for OS
  • CF templates integration with CI/CD
  • Provide visibility of workload or services running within our cloud environment. This also help us to decommissioned/disconnect workload which is no more required
  • Enhanced security posture for API OPEN/Closed based on application requirement
  • Identify Services/Workload hosted on a different account or Cloud and which are not Meeting compliance requirement
Each solution has some or the other feature which is USP within that solution but based on our requirement we found Palo Alto Prisma is Meeting most of our requirements since we want to monitor workload/Services hosted on both Cloud/On-Prem.
