Pros When I started to use it I was amused the seems to be an endless possibility to create, re-create and modify, and improve the projects I was working on. Now it looks like the minimum to expect from the software like that. For me, Prisma was a standard setter. Cons I have not been using the soft for a bit and what I have understood from the info and updates almost all that was anointed me at the start are now fixed. Review Source Jake B.

No pressuring and very knowledgable sales staff. Like I stated earlier, there is every feature you could ask for in this suite. In terms of pricing structure, Palo Alto is willing to work with you to make what features you need work for you. Pros Every single feature you could ask for in a security suite can be provided by Palo Alto. Cons Cost. This was the most expensive option. Review Source MK Mikhail K.
