Venda E - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Option Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized security policies have streamlined audits and ensure consistent protection by default
One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option. The compliance reports are helpful, but having more granular insights or export options would make it even easier to use during audits. Also, support for more third-party integration could improve flexibility. Another improvement I need to see is a smoother setup experience. Some of the initial configuration steps, especially around the organization and permissions, can feel complex. A more guided setup or clear UI explanation would make it easier for teams to adopt quickly. One more improvement would be better alerting options. Right now, we mostly rely on AWS Security Hub or CloudWatch for detailed alerts. Having more built-in, real-time notification directly from AWS Firewall Manager would make it easier to monitor policy violations without extra setup.
Vulnerability control saves audit costs and reduces expenses for organizations
Tufin Orchestration Suite is not commonly used in Thailand due to a lack of local support, and many customers are switching to AlgoSec or other vendors. The analytics features of Tufin Orchestration Suite are challenging to use and require technical expertise, which is a concern as there is not much knowledge in this field in Thailand. The issue of technical knowledge, especially regarding English language proficiency, is significant for government and some companies, making Tufin Orchestration Suite harder to use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is helpful for our compliance, as the compliance manager manages compliance with leading industry standards such as FedRAMP, which my company complies with, GDPR laws, and ISO 27001."
"The product is highly reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"After implementing AWS Firewall Manager, we reduced our manual security configuration effort by around sixty to seventy percent as the policies are now centralized, managed, and automatically enforced."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"We work with compliance monitoring in the product, which is helpful for identifying framework-based misconfigurations, as it can tell you where to deploy firewall policies based on the frameworks."
"The most valuable feature is scaling, which allows you to deploy one configuration and scan and deploy it across the network. The automated policy application feature also streamlines security operations."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Firewall automation was one of the biggest concerns we had, and we have largely sorted that out with this tool."
"The product streamlines our change management process."
"This is a great product and we are doing very well with it."
"On a daily basis, the most valuable feature is the integration of different products, as we're able to perform and see reports and audits from a single console all in one place."
"With the limited knowledge I have of it and the limited use, I would say it is a pretty useful tool if you have a large environment with a lot of devices and you are trying to make it easier for the technicians to basically pawn the work off and make the application team more accountable."
"We can get reports with Tufin at anytime. We can have automated reports, even with security and compliance."
"Otherwise it does what we ask it to do."
"With this approach, Tufin has become a very powerful tool for us by creating an automatic implementation."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"The areas of improvement are definitely platform resiliency, as we have seen outages on the AWS backbone, and whenever there is an outage on the AWS backbone, it impacts all the services hosted on that region, so we expect regional resiliency."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"I'd like to say SDN needs to be improved. This is the key and where the revolution in technology is going."
"I wish there was a read-only admin option. I don't like that you have to be a full admin just to see the Network Topology Map. That option is great out there if you are a user, multi-domain user, etc. However, that piece is very helpful for us, but I also don't want to be handing out admin access to every single person so they can see that network tab."
"I would like to see more about the cloud in the next release. They need a large plan to deploy the cloud into the solution and a way to implement it."
"Their pricing can be better. It is not very transparent."
"It could be a little more intuitive."
"The interface is like a 1990s kind of thing. It's a little ugly. There are many things that you cannot tweak, little things like the column width and how you display the information. You end up exporting everything to an Excel file and doing your work there."
"Tufin has come a long way when it comes to visibility. What we would like to see is a little bit more on the discovery level, network discovery, which Tufin does not have today."
"I would rate their reports as a four out of ten. I don't like the way that they are shown. It is too hard to export and send them to our clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
