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

"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The product is highly reliable."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Tufin assists us in maintaining a robust view of our internal network topology."
"The policy overview is valuable."
"It provides a real-time sense of how the policies are configured and whether there are any shadow rules. Another great thing is that it provides greater reporting based on how the rules have been set up."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
"Policy management and the cartography of the network have been the most valuable features."
"It allows administrators to visualize the traffic flow, and troubleshoot when necessary."
"It provides a comprehensive overview of what our network looks like in terms of what is allowed and what is not, then how the traffic' is flowing with the Network Topology Map."
"SecureChange makes our lives easier with automation."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"The system should be more customizable."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"Our initial setup was complex from two dimensions, because we were deploying it globally and had to have a centralized view, but a distributed approach. We had it in Asia and North America, causing a slightly complicated approach."
"There's a need for an improved network map."
"The key area for improvement is the integration to F5. One of the things that we encountered with another customer is that there were some limitations when we tried to migrate policies from F5 into Tufin."
"I would rate their reports as a four out of ten. I don't like the way that they are shown. It is too hard to export and send them to our clients."
"Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting."
"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."
"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."
"A limitation right now for compressed firewalls is the limited ability to see above a site level in terms of the Topology Mapping in the policy display. While Tufin's actively working on a solution, or at least they have this in the queue, from being able to view this on a higher level and how all of our site networks are connected, this ability would be useful, as we expect to have these compressed firewalls in place for quite some time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is a cost-efficient product."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"Tufin makes things a little easier. It lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do. It has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs. We have already seen return on investment."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
