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

"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"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."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. It benefits us, because you can run a query for whatever your cleanup criteria is, e.g., "Has it been hit in 90 days?" It displays the list, then you can see the rules right there. If you want to get rid of it (or highlight it), then it creates a ticket that goes ahead and flags them all as disabled. While you can delete them, we always disable first. Then, we have a strip that comes back, and if it's been disabled for 90 days, then the system will remove them."
"I use the solution daily and can see it anytime that I want, and I find it invaluable in day-to-day management of firewall policy and policy changes."
"The product streamlines our change management process."
"SecureChange Workflow: It is Firewall Admin Robot, which handles the ticket right from receiving until the implementing process with documenting all the approvals."
"In the past, we would do certain things because of private knowledge of people's own understanding of the network. We don't have to rely on just that piece of it, because of the topology. We now know which firewalls come into play."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is we have better visibility and management of our file infrastructure."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
 

Cons

"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."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
"I would like to see more expansion into the cloud and documentation needs improvement. When I try to do something new in the product, the documentation is no help. Something's written there, but it's not enough to help you do what you want to do."
"Right now, my biggest issue is that it wants to optimize everything we put in."
"They are a little bit behind on some of their support for the Palo Alto firewall platform. I'd like to see that catch up, specifically around importing certain objects."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"Our biggest problem is that we have a very complex environment. It can get a little crazy when we throw it at the rule engine."
"The scalability is bad."
"We've had stability issues because it's a heavy solution. It takes a long time to get up and running, and when we migrate releases, that's an issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"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 price of Tufin could be lower."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"It is expensive, but as compared to other players, it's more or less okay. Their pricing is not very transparent. This is my biggest point regarding Tufin. I've never seen a price list or something like that. It's always individual, and in many cases, it's very confusing to know what is the base and what is the price."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
