"SD-WAN makes life easier"
4/5
What do you like best about Prisma SD-WAN?

What I really like is how much simpler it makes network management, especially across multiple sites. The interface is clean and easy to work with, and being able to monitor traffic and performance in real-time has been a huge plus. It handles routing decisions smartly based on app performance, which saves a lot of time and troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prisma SD-WAN?

We also ran into a few hiccups integrating it with some of our older systems. Another small gripe is that some features you might expect to be included require extra licensing, which adds up. Support has been okay, but there were a few times we had to wait longer than we’d like for responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Prisma SD-WAN?

One of the best aspects of Prisma SD-WAN is its intelligent, application-aware traffic steering. Unlike traditional SD-WAN solutions that rely solely on static policies, Prisma SD-WAN uses machine learning and AI-driven insights to dynamically optimize traffic based on real-time network conditions. This results in better application performance, reduced latency, and improved user experience, especially for cloud and SaaS applications.

Additionally, its tight integration with Prisma Access provides end-to-end security with zero trust principles, ensuring that remote users and branch offices are securely connected without adding complexity to network management. The centralized management and automation capabilities also help streamline deployments and reduce operational overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prisma SD-WAN?

One potential drawback of Prisma SD-WAN is its learning curve and initial complexity. While the AI-driven automation and centralized management are powerful, they can be overwhelming for teams unfamiliar with Palo Alto Networks' ecosystem. Organizations migrating from traditional SD-WAN solutions may require additional training and adaptation time to fully leverage its capabilities.

Another concern is licensing and cost, as Prisma SD-WAN can be more expensive than some competitors, especially for smaller businesses. The tight integration with Prisma Access is a strength, but it also means that organizations heavily invested in other security solutions might face compatibility or redundancy challenges.

What do you dislike about Prisma SD-WAN?

VRF features are less implementable compared to Ciscos or Fortinet, this product is also mostly designed for hub-spoke and this gave us quite some limitations and the documentation they provide is not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
