Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Palo Alto Networks sells Enterprise DLP as an add-on subscription per firewall or SASE seat, pushing entry costs above many cloud-only DLP tools. Peer reviews describe the pricing as “expensive” with recurring monthly fees, and public price lists show mid- to high-six-figure totals for multi-year terms. Because data discovery, analytics, and cloud connectors become available only after purchasing those extra licenses, buyers question the return on the premium spend
Functionality
Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP uses AI classification, exact data matching and OCR to automatically find sensitive data and enforce policies across web, SaaS, email and some endpoints. Incidents roll up into a unified console with useful analytics, but coverage depends on traffic flowing through Palo Alto infrastructure and the product lacks native encryption or deep on-prem data-at-rest scanning. As a result, functionality sits above mid-tier offerings yet below the most feature-rich suites that include full key lifecycle management and broader discovery.
Compatibility
Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP connects directly to NGFWs, Prisma SaaS and Prisma Cloud to protect data in top SaaS apps and public cloud storage. Security teams can forward incidents to any SIEM via syslog and access them through a documented REST API. The service lacks built-in connectors for on-premises databases, so database coverage needs custom work, which aligns with a mid-range compatibility score.
User experience
Admins report a clunky interface with multiple screens for rule creation, forcing extra training before policy tuning becomes reliable. Peer reviews say the console is overly complicated and the user experience needs improvement compared with other DLP tools. The UI is functional but lacks modern visualizations or wizards, placing overall usability in the middle of the market.
Customer support
Premium Support gives Enterprise DLP users 24×7 phone and web access to Palo Alto engineers for troubleshooting and key-management questions. Release-note archives show new DLP content and fixes published nearly every month, so policies and patterns stay reasonably current but not at a rapid-update pace. A large public knowledge base and active community further shorten resolution times by letting teams self-serve common issues.
