Netskope
vs. Palo Alto Networks

It’s been another breakout year for Netskope’s market leadership and technical use cases for both Security Service Edge (SSE) and SASE Platforms, 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 for three use cases in the Critical Capabilities for SSE and 2nd in the remaining use cases, ahead of Palo Alto Networks in five of the six use cases, unmatched by other SSE vendors, making Netskope a preferred Palo Alto Networks alternative.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE Gartner Critical Capabilities for SSE

This is compounded by the Critical Capabilities for SASE Platforms, with Netskope ranked #1 in three of the four technical use cases, ranking ahead of Palo Alto in all four use cases. In the end your data, users, and apps need to be protected on any network or device.

Palo Alto Networks limitations for SSE

Essential SSE

chevron

Netskope ranked #1 in this use case, ahead of Palo Alto Networks, providing context rich policy controls to web, SaaS, and private applications in one platform with 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.

Advanced SSE

chevron

Netskope ranked #2 in this use case and just .01 points behind the leader. Netskope One provides advanced capabilities for DEM, Enterprise Browser, FWaaS/IPS, DNS Security, Dedicated Egress IP Addresses, Cloud TAP, and Advanced Analytics.

Private application access

chevron

Netskope ranked #1 ahead of Palo Alto Networks in this use case. Marketing legacy VPNs as zero trust access is not a true transformation to SSE. For example, the innovation example is Netskope Private Access combining ZTNA with SD-WAN into one client to replace VPNs.

Branch office user connectivity

chevron

Netskope ranked #2 for this use case and ahead of Palo Alto Networks. The Netskope branch office of the future is part of an integrated SSE and SD-WAN solution for single vendor SASE where Netskope is a market leader as well.

Data protection

chevron

Netskope ranked #2 and ahead of Palo Alto Networks 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 for 2,100+ files within its unified data security for DLP and DSPM.

SaaS enablement

chevron

Netskope ranked #1 and ahead of Palo Alto Networks for SaaS enablement which is no surprise given the leadership of Netskope CASB inline and API capabilities over the past decade. Essential SSE, SaaS Enablement, and Private Application Access are #1 rankings and the rest #2 rankings for Netskope, unmatched by any other SSE vendor.

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.
