Prisma SD-WAN Greenfield Deployment
"""The Prisma SD-WAN greenfield CloudFormation template will deploy and configure the following:
- A new VPC
- 1 private and 1 public subnet
- An Internet Gateway
- Route tables associated with each subnet
- The public subnet has a default route to the new Internet Gateway
- A single elastic IP to be assigned to the Prisma SD-WAN instance interface in the public subnet
- 2 security groups, one for the Prisma SD-WAN interface in the public subnet and one for the Prisma SD-WAN interfaces in the private subnet
- A Prisma SD-WAN EC2 instance with the appropriate associations to the elastic IP, security groups, subnets, and user supplied meta-data to register the ION to the customer's portal"""
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

What do you like best about the product?
The compatibility with a lot of enviroments because we some time we need to communicate cloud with onprem and the configurations we need to follow are so easy to configurate
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Complex initial setup – The onboarding process can be complex, especially for teams without deep networking experience.
2. Steep learning curve – The interface and configuration options are powerful but may feel overwhelming at first.
3. Documentation gaps – Some users report that documentation is either too generic or lacks real-world deployment examples.
4. UI performance – The web interface can sometimes be slow or unintuitive, especially when navigating large configurations.
5. Licensing and cost – Pricing models may not be straightforward, and costs can grow with scale.
6. Integration quirks – Integration with legacy systems or third-party solutions may require manual workarounds.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prisma SD-WAN helps solve the challenge of managing and optimizing connectivity across multiple branch locations. Traditional WAN architectures relying on MPLS were costly, rigid, and hard to scale. With Prisma SD-WAN, we can use broadband and LTE links efficiently, while still maintaining high availability and performance.

What do you like best about the product?
I think the main points that the SD-WAN focuses on, are the best things.
The ease of integration in my companies network was something I did not expect, it's pretty easy to use and I haven't had to use the customer support for the system yet even with the frequency of use but I heard it's good. My favorite feature is probably the Ai Ops aspect, while not original, they do it well. The implementation is somewhat of a learning curve but more efficient when you know it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the worst things about the Prisma is that the price of the system is pretty high, I think being such a new product that is to be expected but still harder to convince people to buy it because of that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prisma is more making these more efficient rather than solving problems, like the whole multi-cloud thing. I also think the interface is great epically when comparing to cli systems

What do you like best about the product?
Theres some things i really enjoy about prisma, first, the excellent user experience, it is very intuitive to use, another thing i like is the integration with the palo alto ecosystem so it is not difficult to implement or setup
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is not really attractive, of course, it is totally worth it because of the solution quality, but its not easy to convince directives to pay for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some of our core business partners have problems making sure their network is not only available and performs well, but also secure. So prisma's access control and network segmentation features are great tools to help bring security to our partners networks.

What do you like best about the product?
I've worked with these products by Palo Alto in my organization ( +5000 employees) and the thing I enjoyed the most is that in my 3 year experince with it it has sempliefied my daily job and saved many costs in the 3 years. It's a well designed and well built product.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main reason we had to deploy it is cause we as service provider had to manage a large IaaS covering 300 corporate customer and Prisma offered a great centralized and friendly management with security integreted features and some great improvement in our network performance
