"The product provides very good network security."
"The CSPM and CWPP functionalities are pretty good."
"Integrating with a CI/CD pipeline and incorporating a vulnerability assessment process are highly effective features, especially when combined with runtime protection."
"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud is WAF (web application firewall)."
"Its ease of integration is valuable because we need to get the solution out of the door quickly, so speed and ease matter."
"Prisma Cloud also provides the visibility and control you need, regardless of how complex or distributed your cloud environments become. It helps to simplify that complexity. Now we know what the best practices are, and if something is missing we know."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous cloud compliance monitoring and alerting."
"The policies that come prepackaged in the tool have been very valuable to us. They're accurate and they provide good guidance as to why the policy was created, as well as how to remediate anything that violates the policy."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"You need to have Linux knowledge in order to use the shell."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"Currently, custom reports are available, but I feel that those reports are targeting just the L1 or L2 engineers because they are very verbose. So, for every alert, there is a proper description, but as a security posture management portal, Prisma Cloud should give me a dashboard that I can present to my stakeholders, such as CSO, CRO, or CTO. It should be at a little bit higher level. They should definitely put effort into reporting because the reporting does not reflect the requirements of a dashboard for your stakeholders. There are a couple of things that are present on the portal, but we don't have the option to customize dashboards or widgets. There are a limited set of widgets, and those widgets don't add value from the perspective of a security team or any professional who is above L1 or L2 level. Because of this, the reach of Prisma Cloud in an organization or the access to Prisma Cloud will be limited only to L1 and L2 engineers. This is something that their development team should look into."
"There is room for improvement on the logging and monitoring front because it's still not as holistic as I would want it to be."
"The pricing for the solution needs improvement."
"The automation capabilities are growing each day, but the problem is that the updates are not that frequent. There are some services on Amazon that have come out with updates, and Azure is also getting up to date. But Prisma takes some time to follow. There's a time gap that Prisma inherits from these clouds. I understand why it takes some time, but that time should be reduced."
"They can improve the integrations into the SDLC lifecycle."
"Prisma Cloud lags behind in terms of security automation capabilities."
"They need to improve the API gateway."
"It can be too expensive for small companies."
