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

"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 product is highly reliable."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"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."
"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."
"This solution has helped us reduce the time it takes to make changes; we can usually do changes now within two or three days, where sometimes it used to take a week or more."
"The most valuable feature is being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management, having better visibility of what is going on, and from what I have seen, it's user-friendly."
"It's given us an easier workflow since we go through the different steps of network validation to make sure that the request coming from the user is technically sound and implementable."
"It's very solid product."
"I am impressed with the deployability; the set-up is really straightforward."
"It's hard to pick the most valuable feature. All of them are valuable, they're all critical for us... ChangeTrack obviously has a lot of very good features, like the risk analysis, the USP, and the Policy Browser."
"We have a pretty massive rule base, and it's giving good reports."
"Firewall automation was one of the biggest concerns we had, and we have largely sorted that out with this tool."
 

Cons

"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"The GUI is limited with respect to how much you can develop and visualize the process."
"The problems we have with the F5 is what brings the rating down, because that was a big part of the reason we purchased it."
"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."
"Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting."
"A single central (master) database does not scale well past 1000 firewalls."
"A major thing that it sounds like it's still going to be lacking, is the ability to create and push NATs."
"One of the things that I think they're all missing is something that Indeni does where they mount the boxes proactively for us."
"We like the change impact analysis capabilities quite a bit. The only weakness is that the reporting is a bit clunky. We would like to have the reporting be better."
 

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."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"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.."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
