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

"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"It is very stable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the configuration control."
"Tufin makes things a little easier; it lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do and has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives us to browse our entire infrastructure and easily find which rules match our policies."
"We are able to stay compliant with many of the regulations."
"The automated reporting on a regular basis is helping us to be compliant with legal requirements."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies because it is so fast, as a report about compliance and the clean-up process used to take about one month before, but with Tufin it takes only one day."
 

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more expansion into the cloud and documentation needs improvement. When I try to do something new in the product, the documentation is no help. Something's written there, but it's not enough to help you do what you want to do."
"We had some issues initially with the initial reporting and alerting system."
"The current version is slow. I deal with a lot of large environments, which is mostly what Tufin has."
"I would like to see them get rid of the REST APIs and use something more modern."
"The product should integrate with the UTM features."
"My suggestion would be to be able to correlate it with other toolsets, and not just have it contained in their own toolsets."
"It's still challenging in some cases to get it integrated with other systems."
"I think that the interface could be cleaner, and easier to use."
 

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."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"This solution helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."
"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
