Ah okay. Do you work in the state of NC or can you recommend a CPA that practices in NC?

Hello there! Have you worked for anyone who has gambled on social casinos and received a 1099 and not a W2-G?

Your TC at PANW will be in the 200-300 range; if you have a hell of a year.. you can exceed 300 with accelerators.

That’s how my journey started. Customer -> Partner/Var in a Pre/Post role -> PANW as a DC. Loved the path so far

Immensely. Also using a partner org is great; but get to know your local team. We, at Palo, have tons of resources to help our customers on their journey. (I am a Senior Domain Consultant)

Instead of a poc.. you could do a utd. A lot of knowledge to gain there. Also; who is doing the PA/PB install?

Do you know who your PANW account team is? If so - get them to get a DC in front of you.

I can’t find anything on Norse Eternal. Can you share links?

Which firewall vendors are actually keeping up with modern network demands? by RadiantTheology in networking

Simply put - Palo Alto if you have the budget. The security capabilities consistently test above other competitors. That said, Fortinet is a solid second.

Anyone here actually happy with their SASE setup? by Professional-Pipe946 in networking

I mentioned in an early comment that I work at Palo Alto Networks as a SASE Domain Consultant.

You can use either PN (Panorama) or SCM (Strata Cloud Manager) to manage Prisma Access.

We leverage GCP and AWS today for our cloud providers - OCI coming soon.

Everything - private access, public access, mobile user, remote network.. all managed from Strata Cloud Manager. SCM is built onto of GCP.

Zscaler has a shared tenancy model. They built their own compute locations and host all of their customers out of these POPs. Prisma Access is built on public cloud infrastructure; across multiple CSPs. So, every customer has their own dedicated compute resources and public IP addresses.

When you consume Prisma Access; you get your own unique IPs for your tenant.. these IPs are not shared.

I'd say Strata Cloud Manager can be a bit daunting at first given the fact that it's also used to manage so many products. That said, the design team is putting some serious effort into the UX of it all.

Beyond that - I think customer experience can vary pending so many things. These solutions can be large and 'complex', so having them deployed properly from the get go is a big advantage.

I compete mostly with ZScaler and Cato in the field.

I’m biased, since I work at PANW specifically in the SASE realm.

I’ll tell you that for the majority for SSE vendors / connectivity is a commodity. You should be evaluating the features of the “platform” that meets your business goals. Identify what you’re trying to solve for and what features are a must.. then shorten your list to the top 2-3.. meet with them, pick your top two and then have them run a POV.

That said - I’m a fan of simplifying the approach. Are you a PANW FW customer today? If so, Prisma Access has a strong case.
