Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud

Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud is being used in our organization to monitor the security posture of the micro-services deployed within the organization and even in the applications developed for the clients. This software is being used by only one department but it monitors applications that are widely being used within the organization. It is being leveraged to continuously improve the security architecture of the applications that are developed with micro-service architecture and deployed in a multi-cloud environment.
  • Efficient and real-time--Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud monitors the multi-cloud environment in real time without any lag. The radar in the tool is a single pane of glass for all the containers and images in all your environments. Radar gives a 50,000 foot view at a glance and lets you know what the pain points are in the environment and where more focus is required.
  • Serverless functions and static repositories are supported out of the box. The user needs to make a successful connection, and after that, the tool continuously monitors the functions and repositories at all times and provides alerts and incidents in case something major is happening in the environment.
  • Minimalistic Graphical User Interface--Lets the user do a lot with fewer clicks. You can easily navigate through the tool with relatively few clicks and get your work done.
  • A number of authentication mechnisms are supported out of the box, one of which--AD authentication--is the most popular.
  • Real-time supports would be much appreciated. At the moment they have a third-party ticketing support tool, which can be replaced with real-time support, which can be provided to the user at the time of the issue.
  • The user should be provided with all the learning material by the Palo Alto team at the time of license purchase. This would save a lot of users' time, which is taken up by research and finding the correct documents from the website.
  • Themes can be introduced in the feature set, which would help the user customize the software as per their needs.
  • A good amount of positive impact has been brought with this tool--not only increasing the security posture but also helping to make more efficient applications.
Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud was the first choice made by our organization so far for enhancing security in a multi-cloud environment.

Well suited: If the user is developing or supporting applications with micro-services architecture, which are in turn deployed in a multi-cloud infrastructure, Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud could be one of the best tools available to transparently monitor the environments and at the same time improve the security posture of the applications.

Less appropriate: If the user is working with VMs at the moment and has most of the workload sitting on-premises in physical data centers, then Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud would not be of much help.
