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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"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."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"They have very good responses regarding integration and internalization with open tickets."
"The number one benefit this solution provides is time savings, as both I and another engineer save hours upon hours of work spent creating reports, which Tufin now does for us, turning that reclaimed time into effort well spent on other things."
"Tufin takes this job down from a day, to sometimes five minutes."
"Once you install Tufin, it performs a query and it searches all active policies, then places all the policies that you know in priority order, as far as which policies are being most used and which ones aren’t being used, and gives you something like a survey of things that were being used or any things that weren't being used."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"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 is the reporting of our risk poster in our firewall."
"Tufin's given us the ability to correlate between policy and firewall rules."
 

Cons

"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"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 system should be more customizable."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"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 GUI is limited with respect to how much you can develop and visualize the process."
"I would like to see a little bit more of enhancement on their PCI-compliance piece."
"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."
"The design needs improvement, particularly in recognizing target devices and target files. Additionally, there's a need for an improved network map."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"It needs more compatibility with older firewalls."
"The policy browser has had trouble working. We have experienced bugs."
"It's a bit clunky, but that may be because of different environments, and it is struggling to get the information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
"The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. With Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes. Before, it was 30 minutes or more."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
