Easy to use, but its feature set could be expanded to mirror what currently exists on the public cloud
We have a private cloud leveraging Huawei technology. We use Huawei Cloud WAF to provide cloud services for governments, ministries, departments, and some private sector organizations The most valuable feature of Huawei Cloud WAF is its ease of use. It would be good if the solution's feature set…

On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Huawei Cloud WAF is its ease of use."
"The solution will streamline and minimize manual efforts."
"It provides good visibility and control regardless of the complexity."
"We haven't had an issue with the product for over a year."
"The thing that I like the most is that when it comes to runtime events, whenever we see an event, we are able to look through the logs. It is pretty easy to look back through everything that took place."
"This solution provides us with a single tool to protect all of our cloud resources and applications without having to manage and reconcile different security and compliance reports."
"I find the CSPM area to be a more valuable and flexible feature."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility across all of our cloud solutions."
"It supports the multi-cloud environment beautifully."
 

Cons

"It would be good if the solution's feature set could be expanded to mirror what currently exists on the public cloud."
"The information presented in the UI sometimes doesn't look intuitive enough."
"One thing that is missing is Cloud Run runtime security—serverless. That would be great to have in the tool. It's not that easy to have Cloud Run in specific environments."
"The remediation part could be better."
"Sometimes, on the Azure side, there are issues. Some errors aren't being found on Prisma Cloud."
"Prisma Cloud's application security capabilities should be enhanced."
"The access controls for our bank roles were not granular enough. We needed specific people to do particular actions, and we often had to give some people way too much access for them to be able to do what they needed in Prisma. They couldn't do their jobs if they didn't have that level of access, so other people had to do that part for them. It would help to have more granular role-based access controls."
"The security automation capabilities are average."
"We are encountering issues with the new permissions required for AWS integration with Prisma."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks has helped the company save some money. Cost-wise, it's okay."
"The price is high. In the future, when there are more competitors at the same level with different clouds, maybe the position will be different."
"Prisma Cloud licensing works on credits."
"I wouldn't mind if it were cheaper. We are spending a fair amount of money on Prisma Cloud."
"The licensing cost is a bit high on the compute side."
"Almost all the CSPM tools are pretty expensive."
"Its licensing cost depends on the type of license such as the business license or the enterprise license. The enterprise license is costlier than the business license, but we get more visibility and more modules. If you have a multi-cloud environment and subscribe to each cloud's native CSPM tool, it is costly. If you are using a single tool like Prisma Cloud, with a single license, you can monitor all environments, such as Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud. The cost of Prisma Cloud is less than the cost of subscribing to the CSPM tool of each cloud provider. This is where Prisma Cloud can save costs."
"Prisma Cloud is remarkably expensive."
