What differentiates Prisma Access from other similar products?

It is built with the ability to see and monitor all traffic as well as understand all applications. It won't work if an application is tunneled through different ports or protocols solely to mask traffic and avoid traditional security controls.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Prisma Access provides that ease and flexibility, allowing even a small group of people with the right knowledge to manage the configuration piece while Prisma Access handles the infrastructure and other aspects.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'd like to see their work on improving visibility into what goes on inside the infrastructure of Prisma. Limitations where we don't have any visibility into what's going on with Prisma-managed infrastructure, so we need to call technical support for assistance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is built on the Google platform and uses the Google Premium Tier network; it connects with the nearest point of presence from wherever we initiate a connection, reducing latency furthermore we also access applications regardless of where they are hosted.
