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 has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The product is highly reliable."
"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."
"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. I also like the central orchestration."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"The policy overview is valuable."
"Tufin Orchestration Suite is a good tool that makes firewall policies faster to implement from a central point, and its support is good."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature: having SecureChange make the change on the firewalls, instead of my having to go manually make the changes on the vendor product."
"My team uses it heavily to audit the changes made by junior engineers, going back and figuring out what they messed up, and correcting their mistakes. We generate reports for customer compliance and audits, as well as for regulatory audits."
"It is a great solution. If you have all the devices and firewalls in place, the amount of details that you get along with the network topology is very good."
"It made us look at security policies more holistically."
 

Cons

"The system should be more customizable."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"While Tufin is suitable for small businesses, issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic."
"I would like to see improved role-based access."
"Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."
"There are some missing features we'd like to see them add in the future."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."
"I would like to simplify the reports, and maybe have another view besides the charts. Possibly they could be more graphical."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"We have seen ROI from the side of operations, and we'll probably get to more of that as time goes on. However it took a while to get to that point."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"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."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
