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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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 you start using it, you will see the potential."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interactive Map."
"I am able to see auditing changes and changes in our firewall platform more clearly than with the native tools."
"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes, and we have to be PCI compliant, and it is the tool that we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."
"It's user-friendly. It's easy to understand menus on the web GUI. That's a good feature for us. I can say that it's doing what it's supposed to do. It also integrates well with other products like Check Point."
"The reporting simplifies the ability to report towards the business about how our rules are being used so we can make sure the security is always optimally maintained."
"Manually looking at the policies is very time-consuming, and with this product, I think we've streamlined the process tremendously."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"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."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"We have had a couple issues with the VMs, but I think it was just because they were starving for resources. A recommendation on what the virtual appliances should have for resources would be appreciated."
"There were some hiccups here and there with the initial setup, but we used Tufin's support to assist us with that."
"I'd like to see more work done on the topology side."
"It does not natively support all of the Check Point functions which is a big deal."
"This is the biggest drawback to Tufin integration."
"We would like to have an opportunity for an engineer to choose if you want to make or take the policy which has been suggested by the designer functionality, making it more human readable or less human readable (more or less granular)."
"The initial setup seemed like it required a lot of effort."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."
"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."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
