Prisma Access as a Replacement for GlobalProtect and Security Inspection Platform – Seeking Real-World Feedback

[alirezabtf]

Hello Everyone,

We are currently evaluating Prisma Access as a replacement for our traditional GlobalProtect deployment and are considering using Prisma Access as our primary cloud-delivered security platform for remote users.

Our goal is to leverage the full security stack, including:

• URL Filtering
• WildFire
• DNS Security
• Advanced Threat Prevention
• DLP
• SSL Decryption
• SaaS Visibility and Control
• User and Application Visibility

For organizations that have already made this transition, I would appreciate hearing about your experience.

Some questions we have are:

• Have you encountered any issues or unexpected challenges after moving to Prisma Access?
• Are you able to perform all required security inspections successfully?
• Do you feel you have the same level of visibility as you had with on-premises Palo Alto firewalls?
• Have you experienced any visibility gaps, blind spots, or troubleshooting challenges?
• How effective are the logging, monitoring, and reporting capabilities?
• Have you had any concerns related to SSL decryption, DLP, or user experience?
• Have you noticed any increase in latency, application slowness, or performance issues after directing traffic through Prisma Access for inspection?
• Were there any applications or services that required special handling or exceptions to maintain acceptable performance
• We are particularly interested in understanding whether organizations have been able to achieve full inspection and maintain complete visibility after moving security services to Prisma Access.

Any feedback, concerns, recommendations, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.
