Best for: Companies wanting one rule set for users and branches
Prisma SASE is on the list because one set of data and threat rules covers remote users, branches and unmanaged devices, so a policy you write once applies everywhere. It sells from SMB to enterprise, and its Microsoft links suit a company built on Entra ID and Intune. With that many options, ask for a phased plan so you switch on what you need first.
