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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule."
"The product is highly reliable."
"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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"We have a better view of our compliance status."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is security auditing. We are able to check the rules and compliance of the company, for example, what is allowed or not. We are able to check the rules over different gateways and set over firewalls."
"It has allowed us to be more efficient in our processing of firewall requests."
"The ability to compare the old policy and the new policies is real handy."
"Now we can confidently remove firewall rules that are not needed and make the configuration of firewalls more strict."
"With the firewall policy management with Check Point, we found great value in the tracking, specifically given that we use rules and we use objects within those rules."
"We're using SecureTrack, and the most valuable feature for us is the accurate reporting it provides."
"The policy overview is valuable."
 

Cons

"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"The system should be more customizable."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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 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."
"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 cost is too much. For us it's around $40,000."
"There are several security devices that are not on their list, so Tufin needs to improve this list."
"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."
"We will be using the appliance based product, which cannot be scaled as much. It is a limitation in the hardware."
"I would like to see the setup of the Unified Security Policy simplified."
"Sometimes, it'll freak out and cause everything else to stay and be unable to get configed, then our Palo Alto products will sort of cease, usually a good majority of them, which is not ideal."
"We have had a couple issues with the VMs, but I think it was just because they were starving for resources. A recommendation on what the virtual appliances should have for resources would be appreciated."
"Their pricing is too expensive, and I think they're one of the best products on the market but I think they can't get enough market share because of the pricing (the licensing)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"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."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
