Palo Alto Prisma access solution provides enhanced connectivity options with extended security. Product is specifically designed for Palo Alto customers. It has the same features as on-premise Palo Alto Next Gen Firewall and VPN gateways, so the transition is smooth. We are using Strata Cloud Manager for Prisma access management and monitoring. Strata Cloud Manager is more suited for cloud-only deployments and customers. Logging and monitoring options with the latest insight widget is awesome. It covers nearly all the security features for a company in the cloud. Uptime is very high. Performance is smooth. Local edges cover mainly all the primary areas. We have not seen a downtime incident in at least a 2 year period.Read all insights and reviews for Prisma Access
