We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"The pricing is quite good."
"This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date."
"We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The ability to monitor the artifact repository is one of the most valuable features because we have a disparate set of development processes, but everything tends to land in a common set of artifact repositories. The solution gives us a single point where we can apply security control for monitoring. That's really helpful."
"Due to the maturity of most companies, security posture management is the most valuable feature."
"I've been really pleasantly surprised with how Prisma Cloud is, over time, covering more and more of the topics I care about, and listening to customer feedback and growing the product in the right directions."
"The most valuable feature is the option to add custom queries using the RQL language that they supply so that we can customize the compliance frameworks to what we need to look for."
"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 dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature."
"The support is excellent."
"The solution gives us a lot of visibility across all of our cloud solutions."
"I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high. The solution should offer different pricing systems."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"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."
"Prisma Cloud lags behind in terms of security automation capabilities."
"The first time I looked at Prisma Cloud, it took me a while to understand how to implement the integration or how to enable features by using the interface for integration. That portion can probably be improved."
"They should improve the user experience."
"They are missing some compatibility details in their documentation."
"They need to improve the API gateway."
"We have discovered that Prisma is not functioning properly with GCP."
"The licensing is a bit confusing."
