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

"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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"It provides a great visibility around the roots: Root implementing which can be done, roots that have changed, and what has been done. So, it's pretty useful when you have an audit going on."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. We have one guy who has never logged into Tufin ever in his life. He sits down and in 30 minutes had written an automation routine, then went back and changed it. He did that with no training. For me, that is a major benefit."
"Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management."
"The product is good at auditing the changes that we make in our environment."
"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."
"They have very good responses regarding integration and internalization with open tickets."
"The Automatic Policy Generator saves time because we are able to identify the required policy when a client doesn't know what he needs."
"All the basic functions work well."
 

Cons

"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"The system should be more customizable."
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Tufin has come a long way when it comes to visibility. What we would like to see is a little bit more on the discovery level, network discovery, which Tufin does not have today."
"I would like a better reporting feature and automatic alerting based upon rule changes."
"I feel that the user interface is a bit dated."
"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."
"I would like the application to have faster response times. E.g., the dashboard may take up to two minutes to load. Or, when we do the topology seating its two and a half hours. I would like to get those times down and increase the efficiency of the product there."
"I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"The two main negative points with Tufin Orca are the absence of full support and that accommodation of files and tools is not provided in a good way."
 

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."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"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."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"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."
