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."
"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."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"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."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule."
"Once it is done, the solution runs by itself; exporting, reporting, topology, and changes are all handled by this solution."
"The visibility is very good. We have managers who are overseeing it, and they are approving things through it."
"It makes it easy to find a rule and to make sure that all the firewalls are working in just one step, so this saves us time."
"We are able to discover firewall rules that are too broad and widen the security footprint."
"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."
"Manually looking at the policies is very time-consuming, and with this product, I think we've streamlined the process tremendously."
"The multi-vendor support is very important for us; this is the most important feature because our system has integrations of software and hardware from many vendors, and Tufin has also integrated well, supporting our system of multiple vendors."
"Overall, I would rate Tufin Orchestration Suite eight on a scale of one to ten."
 

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"The system should be more customizable."
"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."
"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 need to offer more support to vendors, such as Cisco, Checkpoint, Fortinet, and Forcepoint."
"Our biggest problem is that we have a very complex environment. It can get a little crazy when we throw it at the rule engine."
"Technical support for this solution is the worst. I would give it a zero ranking."
"I have no problems with Tufin, and it works great, but I would have to give it an eight out of ten."
"Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."
"It needs better reporting with more graphics and more pie charts, so management can understand details."
"It seems stable. We've had problems always with the same box, which is our SecureTrack primary. We are probably on our seventh one."
"A single central (master) database does not scale well past 1000 firewalls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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'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."
"There are ways to deploy the license to different types of firewall. However, if we decide to change the physical brand of the firewall, we need to go back to Tufin and modify the licensing. This is a hassle."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"The solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes. It helps make overall integrated changes immediately. It allows us to cut down at least a few hours in the week in regards to changes and monitoring."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
