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

"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"You can easily scale the solution if you need to."
"The biggest benefit of this is that it allows us to see how security functions as a hole."
"Now we can confidently remove firewall rules that are not needed and make the configuration of firewalls more strict."
"On a daily basis, the most valuable feature is the integration of different products, as we're able to perform and see reports and audits from a single console all in one place."
"I don't evaluate other vendors every two weeks, but I've evaluated them before, and I think Tufin is quite a technically-leading solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the configuration control."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"Tufin takes this job down from a day, to sometimes five minutes."
 

Cons

"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."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"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."
"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."
"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."
"Currently, we are able to monitor access rules and the operating system of a firewall. It would be great if we can also monitor the configuration of the firewall through Tufin."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"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."
"USP does not support VPNs, which is a big thing for us, so we haven't been able to utilize it."
"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."
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
"There is a permanent license for devices, but it's not relative to a device itself. Once you purchase 10 licenses for virtual appliances or virtual context, you can put them into different virtual firewalls, but you can reuse these licenses for other devices if you don't need them for the old ones."
"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 licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"We are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"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."
