There are two ways you can manage
Prisma Access, but you can't switch between the
management interfaces after you activate your
Prisma Access license (with the
exception of using
the migration workflow to go from
a
Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama) to a
Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) deployment). So, you must decide how
you want to manage
Prisma Access before you get started:
Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
To manage
Prisma Access from the cloud, use Strata Cloud Manager. With
cloud management, you can quickly onboard branches and mobile users through
task-driven workflows that allow you to set up and test your environment in
minutes. Cloud management with
Strata Cloud Manager simplifies the onboarding
process by providing predefined internet access and decryption policy rules
based on best practices. Quickly set up IPSec tunnels using defaults
suitable for the most common IPSec-capable devices and turn on SSL
decryption for recommended URL categories.
Strata Cloud Manager Command Center
The
Strata Cloud Manager Command
Center page appears when you launch your Strata Cloud Manager.
This command center helps you in assessing the health of your network,
better visibility, and an overview of your data. The command center has
different dashboards to view different types of reports.
Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
Use the Cloud Services plugin on Panorama to set up and manage Prisma Access.
This is a good option if you're already using Panorama to manage
next-generation firewalls and you have a common policy that you want to use
for access to your corporate applications.
Even if you're using Panorama to manage
Prisma Access, you can still use Strata Cloud Manager for many
Prisma Access
visibility and monitoring features.

After you decide which management option you want to use, get started by following
the licensing and activation workflow for the option you have selected:
