Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Tufin Orchestration Suite and AWS Firewall Manager compete in the network security management category. Tufin Orchestration Suite seems to have the upper hand with its ability to manage multi-vendor environments and provide detailed policy analysis.

Features: Tufin Orchestration Suite includes SecureTrack for rule implementation and audit compliance, SecureChange for automated workflow management, and multi-vendor support for unified security management. It allows detailed network analysis supporting various firewall configurations. AWS Firewall Manager offers robust automation for policy management, easy integration within the AWS ecosystem, and cloud-native security features that simplify AWS resource protection.

Room for Improvement: Tufin Orchestration Suite could improve its topology visualization, expand support for additional security devices, and enhance third-party tool integration. Users express a need for a more user-friendly interface and flexible reporting options. AWS Firewall Manager would benefit from better documentation, expanded logging capabilities, and greater feature customization to enhance its functionality outside AWS environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tufin Orchestration Suite primarily deploys on-premises, supporting hybrid and private cloud setups, offering significant control but with complex deployment. Customer service is mostly praised, although experiences vary. AWS Firewall Manager is straightforward to deploy in public and hybrid cloud environments, ideal for AWS users, with generally well-regarded customer service, though improved non-AWS integration support is desired.

Pricing and ROI: Tufin Orchestration Suite is priced higher due to its extensive features, but it promises strong ROI through process simplification. Its complex licensing is based on device support. AWS Firewall Manager offers flexible cost governance but might be considered costly by some due to its pay-as-you-go model, yet it provides agility in cloud settings. Both tools enhance ROI by streamlining security operations, catering to different needs and scales.

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.

Works

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."

"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."

"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 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."

"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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule."

"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."

"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."

More AWS Firewall Manager pros

"It is an important application for controlling and monitoring firewall rules, and it is useful for making and monitoring the changes."

"The compliance aspect of the solution is its most valuable aspect."

"The preconfigured PCI compliance USPs are the best part for me."

"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."

"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates. Everything is all auditable. Every change is tracked down to the person and time."

"This has helped us to better clean up and audit changes to the firewall policy."

"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. This makes it a lot easier to find out the things that are wrong."

"I'd definitely say go with Tufin as it's a brilliant solution."

More Tufin Orchestration Suite pros

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."

"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."

"The system should be more customizable."

More AWS Firewall Manager cons

"With scalability, we are going to run into some issues. We have been talking about converting over to actual hardware as opposed to virtual. Therefore, I don't think we are scalable at this time, especially with the updates coming. I'm told that they're going to need a lot more horsepower to push them."

"Our initial setup was complex from two dimensions, because we were deploying it globally and had to have a centralized view, but a distributed approach. We had it in Asia and North America, causing a slightly complicated approach."

"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."

"The documentation site is horrible as well. It has a tree structure, and you really get lost quite easily."

"We need another way to use Tufin without the administration rights."

"It could be a little more intuitive."

"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."

"It's not only the firewall rulebase we are interested in, but also application control and URL filtering and they don't do this at the moment."

More Tufin Orchestration Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."

"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."

"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."

"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."

"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 just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."

"For us it's around $40,000 or so."

"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."

Overview

AWS Firewall Manager is a security management service which allows you to centrally configure and manage firewall rules across your accounts and applications in AWS Organization. As new applications are created, Firewall Manager makes it easy to bring new applications and resources into compliance by enforcing a common set of security rules. Now you have a single service to build firewall rules, create security policies, and enforce them in a consistent, hierarchical manner across your entire infrastructure.

Using AWS Firewall Manager, you can easily roll out AWS WAF rules for your Application Load Balancers, API Gateways, and Amazon CloudFront distributions. Similarly, you can create AWS Shield Advanced protections for your Application Load Balancers, ELB Classic Load Balancers, Elastic IP Addresses and CloudFront distributions. Finally, with AWS Firewall Manager, you can enable security groups for your Amazon EC2 and ENI resource types in Amazon VPCs.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Tufin enables organizations to automate their security policy visibility, risk management, provisioning and compliance across their multi-vendor, hybrid environment. Customers gain visibility and control across their network, ensure continuous compliance with security standards and embed security enforcement into workflows and development pipelines.
