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

"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The product is highly reliable."
"They've been great, we have a good relationship with them and the product does a lot of things that we want."
"The most valuable function of Tufin is that it provides compliance tests on security devices."
"You should definitely be looking at this as in your top-two choices, before even considering any other solutions."
"We have had no performance issues."
"This solution helps us ensure that security policy is followed across our entire hybrid network. You can have a Unified Security Policy which reaches across all networks, so if you are having a change submitted, it doesn't matter if you're enforcing it or not. You can get an alert saying, "This is a violation." That's a value-add."
"Our engineers save quite a bit of time that was previously spent on manual processes."
"One of the things that came up this week was the ability to decommission a server, which we thought was interesting. We had a workshop recently that talked about all the things that need to be thought about when managing firewalls. People said, "A lot of times, things get forgotten when you are decommissioning a server." E.g., making sure rules are taken away and taking out the rule set. The fact that there is an automated workload for that can be helpful."
"The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"The system should be more customizable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"More API integration with third-party platforms is something that we would definitely like to see in upcoming releases."
"There are several security devices that are not on their list, so Tufin needs to improve this list."
"The initial setup was time consuming."
"We need to implement micro-segmentation in our infrastructure, and we are using Cisco ACI. However, we are facing an issue with Tufin, as it does not currently support integration with ACI for micro-segmentation, even though it is advertised as such."
"The policy browser has had trouble working. We have experienced bugs."
"The scalability is bad."
"We’ve also had issues with speed, and it needs to be a bit more reliable."
"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
