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."
"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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Our customer has 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 compliance check and the recommendations that it makes."
"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions."
"Policy management and the cartography of the network have been the most valuable features."
"It made us look at security policies more holistically."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is we have better visibility and management of our file infrastructure."
"We have a better view of our compliance status."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"The system should be more customizable."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"They are a little bit behind on some of their support for the Palo Alto firewall platform. I'd like to see that catch up, specifically around importing certain objects."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
"The older version that we have doesn't support some newer firewall vendors."
"We use a lot of inline rules, and it would be beneficial to see those from within Tufin."
"The topology needs improvement. If I click on the network tab, I can go get a cup of coffee, come back, and my topology is still not painted. Maybe, it's just because we have so many devices, but looking at the topology, it is too slow. The problem is that when I click on the network tab, I do not want to see the topology. I want to click on the "Next" button, so I can put in the source and destination, so I can see the path. However, I still have to sit there and wait for the topology to load, and it's frustrating. I'll click on topology and try to click that "Next" button in time to where I can get around it. But, typically, you have to wait for that topology to paint. When it paints it, it's just a bunch of black smudges because there is just so much there. It can't paint it to where you see something. I can always zoom out, or something like that, but it's really worthless."
"The GUI needs more visibility in terms of licensing because it is hard to tell which products and licensed and which are not."
"I would like an improved reporting module which can be flexible (custom reports) and allow us to generate our own reports, because the data is already there."
"It needs better reporting with more graphics and more pie charts, so management can understand details. The reports that are done now are full of data and management would like to have an image to help understand, right away, what the reports are saying."
 

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."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"It's not that expensive, except for Security Groups. For us, just the Security Groups were about half of the total price. The total was about €500,000 a year, of which €200,000 was for Security Groups."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
