COMPARISON

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.
The only leader in single-vendor SASE MQ.

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.
