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 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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The product is highly reliable."
"We felt that Tufin was the leader in the space and we chose it because it was easy to use, very customizable, and it gave us every one of the requirements that we were looking for."
"Tufin provides insights through various reporting capabilities, providing a level of insight into change that didn't exist before and giving us the ability to validate changes against business needs while also allowing us to automate certain functions."
"The customer service is superb and quite good."
"It was easy."
"The most valuable features are the GUI interface and the API."
"The biggest benefit of this is that it allows us to see how security functions as a hole."
"The biggest benefit for us was the time frame to complete a ticket, which went from approximately a week and a half to two weeks down to about three days."
"It understands my need to make sure that there are specific metrics that we are looking at and with those seeing across our technologies, as opposed to just a vendor technology building reports."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"The system should be more customizable."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin. It is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow... Even though we are allocating 130 gigs of RAM, we still have to wait for a few minutes for a single report to be generated. Otherwise it would be a perfect tool."
"There's some functionality that is very simple. I'll call it human reporting, such as a shared secret for a VPN change. Tufin does a really great job providing technical reporting, but it is unreadable to the average person."
"Our biggest challenge now is we have new management; when we send them the reports, they're not really happy with the reporting structure of it."
"We need another way to use Tufin without the administration rights."
"It needs more compatibility with older firewalls."
"So far, our impressions of stability are not very good."
"For the most part, stability is alright. It works well until we do an update and it breaks everything."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"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."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"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."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
