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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is we have better visibility and management of our file infrastructure."
"We can get reports with Tufin at anytime. We can have automated reports, even with security and compliance."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it reduces both the time required and the number of errors when making changes."
"It allows administrators to visualize the traffic flow, and troubleshoot when necessary."
"A customer is able to submit a request for access and Tufin will automatically analyze the system to find out where the rule needs to go, and then design the rule for you."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"It has allowed us to be more efficient in our processing of firewall requests."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"The system should be more customizable."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"The initial setup can be tough."
"I would really like to see a new UI for SecureChange. SecureTrack 2.0 has quite an improvement in the UI and it flows more smoothly. The current SecureTrack and SecureChange are a little blocky, and sometimes loading a tab or a page is required to refresh information. Whereas in SecureTrack 2.0, they're starting to improve on that."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"USP does not support VPNs, which is a big thing for us, so we haven't been able to utilize it."
"The reporting function could improve in Tufin. For our clients with companies that have strong compliance, reporting privacy data is mostly a problem. In the IT department, private data needs a function that one person can analyze it. It requires multiple people to analyze the data."
"When it comes to web services, in my experience, Tomcat has always gone down; after a certain amount of load it breaks down and we have to get things restored again."
"I would like to see improved role-based access."
"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
