Palo Alto Prisma Access vs Skyhigh Security

Palo Alto Prisma Access and Skyhigh Security are both sase & zero trust solutions. Palo Alto Prisma Access enterprise SASE platform extending Palo Alto's next-gen firewall to cloud-delivered security, while Skyhigh Security data-aware SSE platform with pioneering CASB technology and deep cloud data protection. The best choice depends on your organization's size, technical requirements, and budget.

Choose Palo Alto Prisma Access if seamless policy extension for existing Palo Alto NGFW customers is your priority and enterprises already invested in Palo Alto Networks firewalls that want to extend their security policies to a cloud-delivered SASE architecture. Choose Skyhigh Security if industry-pioneering CASB with the deepest cloud service risk assessment database matters most and data-centric organizations in regulated industries that prioritize cloud data protection, CASB depth, and DLP over networking features.

Skyhigh Security starts at Custom pricing / Per-user subscription with feature tiers (per-user annual subscription). Palo Alto Prisma Access starts at Custom enterprise pricing / Per-user or per-Mbps models (per-user or bandwidth-based annual subscription). As always, the sticker price only tells part of the story. Factor in add-ons, implementation costs, and what's actually included at each tier.

It depends on how deeply Palo Alto Prisma Access is embedded in your stack. Most teams run both in parallel for a few weeks before cutting over. Check whether Skyhigh Security supports importing your existing configs or policies. That's usually the biggest time sink.
