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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The product is highly reliable."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"I like how it's able to optimize your policy, look at the objects, and other similar functions."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"Our customer has the ability to centrally monitor and view all changes that have been made in the network, and they are able to revert any problems that they encounter, if somebody has made a problematic change."
"Tufin has the best solution as far as it being self-contained, reliable, and integrating with the other things that you want it to integrate with."
"The most valuable function of Tufin is that it provides compliance tests on security devices."
"It provides me great insight into my firewalls across my organization, and we are able to stay compliant with many of the regulations."
"Any company that puts in SecureTrack alone will see a very quick return on investment."
"It's very solid product."
 

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."
"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."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"More API integration with third-party platforms is something that we would definitely like to see in upcoming releases."
"There are some missing features we'd like to see them add in the future."
"I would rate their reports as a four out of ten. I don't like the way that they are shown."
"The visibility is not as good as it should be."
"It could be a little more intuitive."
"The older version that we have doesn't support some newer firewall vendors."
"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 them get rid of the REST APIs and use something more modern."
 

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."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"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."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
