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

"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."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"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 biggest benefit for us was the time frame to complete a ticket, which went from approximately a week and a half to two weeks down to about three days."
"With Tufin, I think it's very, very easy to get big easy wins up front with all the documentation and all the tracking, just to get started and move forward from there."
"It provides me great insight into my firewalls across my organization, and we are able to stay compliant with many of the regulations."
"This solution has helped reduce the time it takes our customers to make changes by 50 percent, and engineers are spending less time on manual processes by 50 percent."
"I also have AlgoSec, and it seems to be much more complicated."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"The key, convincing element that made our customer go with Tufin is that they have the ability to centrally monitor and view all changes that have been made in the network, and they are able to revert any problems that they encounter, if somebody has made a problematic change."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting of our risk poster in our firewall."
 

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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"The system should be more customizable."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"For the project I worked on, there were some things that didn't work quite well enough, so I got the impression that customer service had different expectations from technical service."
"They are sort of at the pilot stage on some of their products. I saw the Orca and Iris products yesterday."
"The GUI needs more visibility in terms of licensing because it is hard to tell which products are licensed and which are not."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
"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."
"This is the biggest drawback to Tufin integration."
"The cost is pretty high."
 

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."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
