Is PaloAlto Prisma Cloud trash (compared to Azures features)?
It’s a multi cloud cspm tool. Useful to have if you are in multiple clouds as their native tooling might not cover other clouds. It allows you to define your own policies and measure against existing industry standards. Twistlock (the compute part) is immense compared to others. We use it in our on prem and cloud k8s environments. More on reddit.com

Palo Alto WAAS
Where is your deployment going to be located? Prisma Cloud is where the WAAS features sit. Those features can be used on-prem as well, but if your in public cloud you’d have a ton of added benefits. WAAS from Palo is not hardware based, the client sits on the endpoints. More on reddit.com

Palo Alto Networks - Global Protect Cloud Service (GPCS) - rebranded to Prisma Access
The purpose of Prisma Access (formerly GPCS) is to extend your PANW security posture to both remote users and locations that aren't big enough to have their own firewall) and that you don't want to tunnel back through your existing datacenter firewalls. I've often seen this combined with SD-WAN implementations or standalone to provide meshed hub-spoke and egress connectivity for remote locations and users. If you have a highly mobile workforce or a large number of small remote locations and want to maintain a consistent security posture, then it may make sense. OTOH if all of your users are already behind a corporate firewall (or full tunnel back to one), then there wouldn't be much value. More on reddit.com

Palo Alto vs Wiz vs Aqua Security
We recently did a PoC for Palo Prisma Cloud and Wiz. Functionally, they were pretty much the same the same. Wiz might have had slightly more tooling for DevSecOps. I also liked the UI of Wiz a bit better. Our org hasn't made a decision on which one to go with. We're a Microsoft shop so there's a strong push here to go with Defender for Cloud. More on reddit.com

PAN Prisma Cloud Customers Deserve Better | Orca Security
November 11, 2024 - If you somehow manage to deploy agent-based security on 70% of your environment (which can be considered an extremely successful implementation), your risk reduction remains far below 70%. Ungoverned environments are usually where your real risk resides. PAN Prisma Cloud is nothing more than a compilation of disparate tools based on a series of acquisitions – without any real integration.

r/AZURE on Reddit: Is PaloAlto Prisma Cloud trash (compared to Azures features)?
November 3, 2023 -

I started a new role at a large enterprise. They use AWS and Azure as well. Today I talked to a team managing a "Prisma Cloud" from PaloAlto and enforcing several "policies" with it for our cloud resources. Those policies get monitored and if some are violated, a ticket and alert is created. Okay. They also have some kind of agent, that can be installed on VMs and could then monitor the OS and trigger on e.g. open ports and stuff. They are also scanning "images", be it VM images or containers, but only at push, not during runtime.

While I was hearing that I was thinking to myself: could that not be achieved with Azure Security center, Microsoft Defender solutions as well as Azure policies?? And with much better quality and integration?!

I did some more research and my understanding by now is that PrismaCloud basically rebuilds some policy rules, maybe adds some new ones and try to push security agents on VMs and processes into containers. For me, that rebuilding means, they will always lack behind Azure features. Also the handling seems to be way more cumbersome. In Azure I can get Defender installed on VMs and get container images scanned at rest and during runtime with no manual steps. With Azure policies I have pre-configured compliance-sets and each and every resource has policies already during public preview.

So, is Prisma Cloud as much snake oil as it sounds or is there a real benefit I cannot achieve with Azure (or even AWS Security Hub in AWS world) much easier and much better integrated?
