Prisma Access Likes & Dislikes
administration, integration, deployment and advanced threat detection
Does very good to provides a lot of high level visibility into the traffic across our organization, and is able to continue to expand along with our expanding organization. Does good to integrate into other products to provide even further visibility.
The config and rollout was quite complex from a project perspective, but the change impact for the end user was set to a minimal, which made the UX remarkably seamless.
In this case I havent seen any problems
Does require a significant study into to use at its full ability as it has a significant learning curve. Some places there is not good documentation so you will have to search hard or figure it out yourself. Is expensive but generally worth the price for it.
There may be a bit of a delay in some countries, often due to the node being too far away from the user's endpoint.

Centralized Security Enhances Infrastructure but Network Distance Causes Regional Delays
5.0May 7, 2026
This product has proven to be the right strategic fit for our organization's goal of streamlining security across all branches and remote endpoints. The biggest strength in my eyes is the ability to centralize and secure our entire infra under one umbrella (one security policy), ensuring security is set wherever the user is working.
