Netskope
vs. Palo Alto Networks

It’s been another breakout year for Netskope’s market leadership and technical use cases for Security Service Edge (SSE) while competitors like Palo Alto Networks cloud security fall short. Learn why Netskope is one of the strongest Palo Alto Network competitors.

Palo Alto Networks limitations proven by technical use cases

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.

Palo Alto Networks limitations for SSE

Secure web and SaaS usage

chevron

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.

Consolidate vendors

chevron

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.

Connecting and securing remote workers

chevron

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.

Protect data

chevron

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.

Reporting, visualizations and UEBA

chevron

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.

Global access on-ramp

chevron

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.

Adaptive access controls for zero trust principles

chevron

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.

Leading data protection policies and DLP

chevron

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.

Advanced threat protection and sandboxing

chevron

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.
