1] Very Good Graphical User Interface and very easy interface which even dummies can easily use this product

2] It provides not only vulnerabilities and threat reports but also provide remediation instructions

What do you dislike about Cortex Cloud?

1] Very costly.

"Excellent CSPM Tool"
What do you like best about Cortex Cloud?

The tool shows Compliance and Alerts with extreme detail. It supports the most security standards I've seen in a CSPM tool, such as SoX, LGPD, GDPR, CIS (all versions). Also, automatic remediation is a great advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cortex Cloud?

Investigations and Policy customization is complex and confusing to do. To customize a policy, you need to understand the RQL language, which is not intuitive.

Also, the Data Security Module never worked properly in my company. We make the scan, Prisma Cloud shows the alerts, but when we remediate the files, it doesn't update, doesn't disappear from the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great CSPM when integrated with other Prisma products and small number of cloud computing accounts"
What do you like best about Cortex Cloud?

I loved it when we first got it. It was the first CSPM we got at my company and we deployed it to our top 5 AWS accounts. I loved the visibility and seeing all the frameworks and areas for improvements as well as getting alerts for new resources spun up that weren't secure or were outside of our business standards (i.e. new instance, open on all ports, world accessible) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cortex Cloud?

2 main things that were a determining factor for us at renewal was the number of API calls against our cloud resources. We maxed out our API calls per day due to the sheer volume of queries it does against AWS. We had to really rachet that back to keep legitimate business API calls from getting dropped.

The other was the renewal. We were licensed by cloud account, not by resources, etc, so renewal was from 5 accounts to 90-ish and it was way way WAY cost prohibitive for us, so we had to drop it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
