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

"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."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The features I have found most valuable are its capability to check on the firewall and the routers. Afterwards it checks out all the configs, checks the vulnerabilities, checks the risks - it checks everything that may end up causing our router to be compromised. At the end it recommendations what we should do."
"My experience with Tufin has been good; we haven’t had any technical issues and the features that I have seen in the software so far are excellent."
"Using this solution has helped to reduce the time it takes us to make changes."
"Tufin takes this job down from a day, to sometimes five minutes."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the configuration control."
"Tufin's given us the ability to correlate between policy and firewall rules."
"With SecureTrack, I can track the policy and find all the policies that we're not using, create a process out of it, and actually get rid of those legacy policies, making our file work run much more smoothly because of less policy, less memory usage, and less CPU."
 

Cons

"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"It took a long time just to try to gather the information. I would like Tufin to be faster."
"It works really well when you have a single-vendor solution but it's just not as intuitive if you have back-to-back firewalls or you have a complex topology."
"It needs more compatibility with older firewalls."
"Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."
"I would rate their reports as a four out of ten. I don't like the way that they are shown. It is too hard to export and send them to our clients."
"There was some complexity during the initial setup, but otherwise, it was fairly straightforward."
"There were some hiccups here and there with the initial setup, but we used Tufin's support to assist us with that."
"I work on the network and security sides. The network visibility side needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"If you don't buy their premium support, their technical support is not great and you can only call during daytime hours. So, we ended up purchasing their premium support."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"There is a permanent license for devices, but it's not relative to a device itself. Once you purchase 10 licenses for virtual appliances or virtual context, you can put them into different virtual firewalls, but you can reuse these licenses for other devices if you don't need them for the old ones."
"We have seen ROI just in the time savings and knowledge. Knowledge is power. Having the solution do it automatically for you without you doing the work is huge. If you are spending $50,000 a year, it could have cost you a $100,000 in man-hours without it, especially if you are working with a team.."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
