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

"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"The product is highly reliable."
"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."
"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."
"Tufin provides a very comprehensive solution and anyone looking to go down the path of automation should not look any further because Tufin will be able to meet their requirements and scale out really effectively."
"With the firewall policy management with Check Point, we found great value in the tracking, specifically given that we use rules and we use objects within those rules."
"Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management."
"The reports that this solution provides are very useful."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"For any customer who wants a solution that is quick to set up and just works, Tufin's the way to go."
"We are using the visibility with notifications on every firewall change and what those changes were. We have visibility to see who is making the changes, and when."
"The change work flow process is flexible and customizable, and we found it pretty easy, particularly when we were implementing new rules and with our cleanup."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"It doesn't have cross-vendor support for solutions such as Barracuda."
"I would also like to see them do more cloud integration within the Tufin Orchestration Suite, not within a SaaS solution."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"The initial setup was time consuming."
"It took a long time just to try to gather the information. I would like Tufin to be faster."
"I'd like to see automation of a number of steps."
"Our biggest challenge now is we have new management; when we send them the reports, they're not really happy with the reporting structure of it."
"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"Tufin makes things a little easier. It lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do. It has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs. We have already seen return on investment."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"If you don't buy their premium support, their technical support is not great and you can only call during daytime hours. So, we ended up purchasing their premium support."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
