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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the reporting of our risk poster in our firewall."
"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."
"Now we can confidently remove firewall rules that are not needed and make the configuration of firewalls more strict."
"You can easily scale the solution if you need to."
"The change workflow process is very easy to customize. You can do a workflow however you want, so you can have an approval every single step. Or, you can remove approvals on certain steps, automating some steps."
"The solution is stable, it doesn't have bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it is reliable."
"It understands my need to make sure that there are specific metrics that we are looking at and with those seeing across our technologies, as opposed to just a vendor technology building reports."
"It is very easy to use. We can get results back quickly."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"The system should be more customizable."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"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 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."
"I have seen some issues with the stability. One of the things that we noticed was when R18 was released about one or two years back, it couldn't discover the newer versions of firewalls, then we had to upgrade it."
"The change workflow process is getting better. I wish it was a little more customizable. Right now, my biggest issue is that it wants to optimize everything we put in. Sometimes, we need a rule to be more readable, and we want it to go in a specific way. Sometimes, it's difficult to get Tufin to accept that. It wants to optimize and reduce the number of ACLs. On the compliance side, sometimes you just want more ACLs, so it's more readable for an auditor."
"The product that we have deployed for our main process gets bogged down in terms of its response. Maybe, we need to deploy a slightly smaller box. Eventually, we need to discuss this with Tufin is to see if we can move over to some sort of VM environment where we can add more processing power to it."
"Sometimes it's very difficult to get the ideal revenue out of this tool. It's expensive."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"For the most part, stability is alright. It works well until we do an update and it breaks everything."
"They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs."
"Well there's parts of the product that we can't use, the SecureChange, the network address translation, and users as it's all very difficult, so we've never managed to use it for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"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."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"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."
