Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The policies are flexible based on the technologies you use."
"It has the best documentation features."
"The most valuable feature is that I can establish different services from the firewall."
"WAF is useful to track mitigation, inclusion, prevention, and the parametric firewall."
"The initial setup was simple and took three to four days."
"It's very easy to deploy."
"NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks."
"It is a very good tool for load balancing."
"The product is quite good for providing multi-clouds or cross-cloud security from a single-pane -of-glass."
"Prisma Cloud's inventory reporting is pretty good."
"Most of the customers we are tackling have different tools and solutions, like Qualys, Nessus, and vulnerability management assessment solutions. There are plugins for them, and we can integrate Prisma Cloud with them. We can enrich our telemetry with their data and use the predefined correlation rules in Prisma Cloud. That means we have that work done in seconds."
"It has helped us understand the dynamic topology of our containers, and manage security through the application of policies that our pipelines apply straight from Git."
"Integration is very easy. And because it supports security that spans multi- and hybrid-cloud environments, it's very easy to use."
"Prisma Cloud is quite simple to use. The web GUI is powerful. Prisma Cloud scans the overall architecture of the AWS network to identify open ports and other vulnerabilities, then highlights them."
"We were pleased with Prisma's custom and built-in reports. We could go into the dashboard and see all these notifications telling us which subscriptions didn't have TLS 1.2 enabled. The security controls were the most valuable features."
"The product provides very good network security."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI."
"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time."
"The configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary."
"NGINX App Protect would be improved with integration with Shape and F5 WAF, which would make it easy for users to manage all their web application security with a single solution."
"The dashboard could provide a more comprehensive view of the status of the connections."
"NGINX App Protect could improve security."
"They could provide a better user interface."
"The IM security has room for improvement."
"Palo Alto should work on ease-of-use and the user-friendliness to be more competitive with some competing products."
"Based on my experience, the customization—especially the interface and some of the product identification components—is not as customizable as it could be. But it makes up for that with the fact that we can access the API and then build our own systems to read the data and then process and parse it and hand it to our teams."
"The UI could be improved."
"I would like Prisma Cloud to improve its mapping feature to increase usability."
"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."
"Prisma Cloud supports generating CSV files, but I would also like it to generate PDF files for reporting."
"The integration of the Compute function into the cloud monitoring function—because those are two different tools that are being combined together—could use some more work. It still feels a little bit disjointed."
