Prisma SASE vs. Zscaler
Prisma® SASE is the only single-vendor solution that
protects all users, devices and locations with best-in-class
security while providing exceptional user experiences
from a simple, unified service.
The Prisma SASE advantage
Prisma SASE
Zscaler
Unified Platform to Secure the Entire Enterprise
Prisma SASE
- Palo Alto Networks is the only cybersecurity vendor to offer a unified network security platform for all users, devices and locations.
- Consistent services across physical, virtual or SSE deployments.
- Consistent policies across all traffic types regardless of traffic direction and location.
- Full visibility into the end-user experience across all users, devices and locations.
Zscaler
- Zscaler does not offer a unified platform, forcing customers to deploy a collection of disparate tools, policies, capabilities and management.
- Required to leverage multiple dashboards, consoles and logging formats.
- Diminished visibility.
- Increased MTTR.
- Increased total cost of ownership.
Connectivity at Cloud Scale
Prisma SASE
- Prisma® SASE is purpose-built in the cloud to secure at cloud scale, uniquely leveraging the combined infrastructures of AWS® and Google Cloud Platform, the largest hyperscale and the most resilient public clouds in the world.
- Scale elastically across a multicloud network backbone that ensures low latency and high performance across 87 countries.
- Dedicated data plane for each customer.
- The industry’s only SaaS performance SLAs—Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce and others.
Zscaler
- Zscaler builds their cloud around dedicated hardware, which is deployed, managed and maintained in colo-facilities. Their infrastructure depends on manually deploying additional hardware to scale and doesn’t provide intracloud redundancy or failover.
- Solution is architected around a shared data plane which negatively impacts security and performance.
- Zscaler architecture has no SLA for third-party SaaS app latency.
- Does not offer app acceleration or boost application performance.
Consistent Security Services
Prisma SASE
- Prisma SASE offers always-on security for all users, devices and applications to all data with continuous trust verification to enforce least-privileged access (ZTNA). We also offer you continuous security inspection via Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS), such as Advanced WildFire, Advanced Threat Prevention, Next-Generation CASB, AI Access Security and more, to perform deep inspection, blocking up to 11.3B attacks per day.
- Application policy constructs with App-ID, User-ID, Device-ID and Content-ID.
- Market-leading cloud delivered security services since 2005 validated by industry analysts.
Zscaler
- Zscaler does not provide continuous trust verification and offers limited inline data security capabilities.
- Proxy-based architecture that can only detect web-based threats.
- Relies on third-party security vendors with limited in-house innovation.
Flexible Connectivity
Prisma SASE
- Prisma SASE offers multiple ways to connect users and applications regardless of architecture and traffic flows without exception.
- The industry’s only natively integrated Secure Browser.
- 2x leader in single-vendor SASE.
Zscaler
- Zscaler relies on private data centers and hardware, which causes deployment challenges and scalability limitations.
- One methodology to connect users to private applications (ZTNA connectivity) forcing enterprises to maintain legacy VPN solutions or add additional infrastructure hardware.
- No native integrated Secure Browser.
