Legacy firewall and VPN technologies from Palo Alto Networks aren’t going to help with your transformation journey. Netskope ranked 1st in two use cases ahead of Palo Alto Networks and 2nd to protect data while Palo Alto Networks ranked 5th for the same, making Netskope a preferred Palo Alto Networks alternative. In the end your data, users, and apps need to be protected on any network or device.

Before launching an SSE or SASE project, or compiling request for information (RFI) requirements, security and network professionals are carefully evaluating potential blind spots within their traditional security frameworks to determine if now is the time to make a move to Netskope.
In this eBook we reveal hidden insights legacy security vendors want to hide and discuss how Netskope offers transparent solutions that protect your data while delivering a superior user experience.
Netskope ranked #1 in this use case, ahead of Palo Alto Networks, as AppID controls are no longer enough. Cloud controls from Netskope include instance awareness for hundreds of apps, plus 100+ app activity controls, and app risk ratings for 80,000+ apps. Zero trust requires rich context for adaptive access controls and real-time coaching to users, not just allow or deny.
Netskope ranked #1 in this use case, ahead of Palo Alto, with Netskope One providing one gateway, network, policy engine, and client for consolidated SSE capabilities unlike Palo Alto Networks relying on public cloud infrastructure networking, multiple consoles, and backend infrastructure.
Netskope ranked #3 for this technical use case. While Palo Alto Networks marketing renames legacy VPNs zero trust access, the true transformation capabilities are yet to be seen. An innovation example is Netskope ZTNA Next combining ZTNA with SD-WAN into one client to replace VPNs.
Netskope ranked #2 while Palo Alto Networks ranked #5 for protecting sensitive data. Zero Trust is about data flowing through the other components including apps, users, devices, and networks. This is ground zero for SSE where Netskope provides 3,000+ data identifiers and 27+ ready to use AI/ML classifiers for documents and images.
Firewall logs lack context from Palo Alto Networks while Netskope provides graphic visualizations for app trends, user behaviors, data movement, insiders, unknown risks, and rich proxy transaction event streaming. Plus user risk scoring leverages behavior anomalies (UEBA) in adaptive access policies, context in use you will not find in firewall logs.
Palo Alto Networks is built on public cloud infrastructure networking without dedicated egress IP addresses and lacks performance in mainland China. Compared to competitors like Netskope with one global access network zone covering more regions, extensive peering for faster on-ramps, and stricter SLAs to back up performance.

Netskope helps you reduce risk, accelerate performance, and provide unrivaled visibility into any cloud, web, and private application activity. To empower safe collaboration, Netskope Cloud XD reliably balances trust against risk with granular controls that adapt to changes in your environment. The Netskope platform protects against advanced and cloud-enabled threats and safeguards data across all vectors (any cloud, any app, any user). A single-pass architecture delivers a fast user experience and simplified operations.
Explore Palo Alto Networks security alternatives and see how Netskope can enhance your security.
Netskope is known for partnering with customers making the transformation from on-premises security defenses to cloud-edge, or from Palo Alto Networks security to Netskope security, we know what it takes for success and have been through the journey many times.
Netskope inspects web traffic and thousands of apps and cloud services with the ability to decode business transactions to understand content and context in real-time, all backed by an unmatched 50ms round-trip SLA for TLS traffic inspection.
Rich context enables adaptive access controls by app, instance, app risk, user trust, 100+ app activities, and data sensitivity, plus providing real-time user coaching and advisory alerts, requesting step-up authentication, or limiting data movement during business transactions.
Context also enables data protection policies to reduce the surface of risky activities and behaviors before applying DLP, including AI/ML classifiers for documents and images across web, SaaS, IaaS, and email with one platform, console, and policy engine. Data is at the center of the zero trust model as it interacts with users, apps, devices, and networks.
From patient zero protection to inline ML-based analysis of files and for phishing attacks to proactively protect users. Plus, backed by deep analysis with heuristics, pre-execution analysis, multi-stage sandboxing with MITRE ATT&CK analytics, as well as Patient Zero alerts, a RetroHunt API, and Sandbox API. Scan everything with cloud scale and performance.
