    I still think Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access is the best SASE/SSE product out there. It just has such good granular controls and up to date security definitions that you can feel absolutely secure in your purchase. GlobalProtect was a lifesaver for me when COVID hit so yes I had to work my butt off to get it up and running quickly and as secure as I possibly could but it worked amazing and had excellent performance after we got it running and tied to MFA, certificates and security policies.

    The product as well as the admin panel is getting richer. Would love port-level access control as well as some more analytics in the admin panel. From what I hear, the team is actively working on it

    • Easy access management for cloud resources, better security than VPN or IP allow lists
    • 2FA via Google Login or OKTA
    • Easy to onboard external team members (contractors, partners, clients, etc)
    • Was easily approved by my partner security teams to use alongside their VPN client with no conflicts.
    • Zero-trust security is a must-have feature these days!
    • You pay for User, not Client or Resources--easy to roll out to all devices used by your users.
    • No more hassle of maintaining IP allow lists for WFH/remote teams

    Cons
    Palo Alto Networks
    • With all of it's unique features it does take some time to get folks up to speed in regards to supporting/managing the software.
    • Doesn't always play nice with non Palo Alto software.

    I still say that Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access is the best. I love their GUI, their policies are easy to manage, the sales team is VERY helpful (especially when support is not). I still recommend them to everyone I talk to.

    For the end-user, it is essentially an on-off switch integrated with our Identify Protection Solution

    The McAfee product really isn’t a great option. The configuration is a nightmare and requires a lot of time. The policy management has a high learning curve.

    Return on Investment
    Palo Alto Networks
    • It is extremely easy to manage who has remote access in our organization now.
    • It has allowed us to more fluidly get remote workers up and running.
    • Another tool to mange is never a good thing and the Panorama UI could use a little work.
