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

"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"After implementing AWS Firewall Manager, we reduced our manual security configuration effort by around sixty to seventy percent as the policies are now centralized, managed, and automatically enforced."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"The change work flow process is flexible and customizable, and we found it pretty easy, particularly when we were implementing new rules and with our cleanup."
"For us, in man hours, it saves about 70 hours a week on checking rules and implementing the changes."
"SecureChange is the most interesting part. It all comes down to having the user request firewall access and SecureChange, based on workflows, takes care of it, sending two or three emails to the business approvers. With one click, you can automate a firewall rule."
"With this approach, Tufin has become a very powerful tool for us by creating an automatic implementation."
"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates. Everything is all auditable. Every change is tracked down to the person and time."
"The designer gives the ability to know where to add a rule, or if the rule is already in place."
"We find it to be flexible. If we have a change that needs to be done, it will go ahead and do it for all our devices, regardless of the manufacturer that we have associated with it."
"Tufin is the only multi-vendor firewall tool that is available, and it helps to bring everything together and report on what all of the rules are."
 

Cons

"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"I would like to see the setup of the Unified Security Policy simplified."
"The upgrade was a bit cumbersome because we had to do a complete reinstall."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"Lacks ability to create a Terraform that would enable deployment without manual steps."
"The cost of this solution should be improved."
"I would like to see better report integration in this solution."
"I do think some of the licensing can be simplified or made more flexible."
"I would like to see improved role-based access."
 

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."
"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."
"We have seen ROI from the side of operations, and we'll probably get to more of that as time goes on. However it took a while to get to that point."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"It is expensive, but as compared to other players, it's more or less okay. Their pricing is not very transparent. This is my biggest point regarding Tufin. I've never seen a price list or something like that. It's always individual, and in many cases, it's very confusing to know what is the base and what is the price."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"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."
"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."
