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

"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."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"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."
"One is that from the portal people are able to request access, and it is going to be able to stage the policy, add the rules or objects or whatever is needed for us so that all we need to do is push the policy at the time."
"We can push a policy from Tufin to a firewall, which is a very good feature."
"The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"This solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes; previously, it was taking up to seven days, and now, unless there is an issue with the request, we usually have it done in a day."
"On the technical side, the Tufin solution was very helpful for my team, as it would save them time by allowing them to check all the firewall policies in one console, for both Palo Alto and FortiGate, at the same time."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature: having SecureChange make the change on the firewalls, instead of my having to go manually make the changes on the vendor product."
"Due to the usage of Tufin, we reduced the manual effort during audits to a minimum."
 

Cons

"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"The system should be more customizable."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"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 have not really found any other side benefits."
"We want to have the ability for a ticket requester to add somebody, or to give somebody view rights to their ticket."
"Lacks ability to create a Terraform that would enable deployment without manual steps."
"Tufin product is good, but it requires a lot of CPU overhead."
"We actually had a key issue, which was a bug, that the development team didn't want to fix. We escalated it, then it got fixed. So, the management level seems very responsive at least, but at a support level, they are just regular support people and not outstanding."
"There was some complexity during the initial setup, but otherwise, it was fairly straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"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."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
