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

"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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 solution helps us meet our compliance needs."
"Technical Support: Excellent, the support and the post sales service is the best I ever had."
"The Topology Map, which feeds into our SecureChange - the latter being an automation platform - there's a lot of synergy between the two."
"The reason that we purchased the solution is because of the visibility that it provides."
"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."
"For the first one, we were able to reduce the number of rules, and the signaling one is about the compliance."
"Technical support for this solution has been great."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable... If we have a firewall completed and we want to redo it, if we need to re-engineer a particular firewall and open a different destination, we can do that by creating a break-fix... That is one of its useful tools."
 

Cons

"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"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. 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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"Our biggest problem is that we have a very complex environment. It can get a little crazy when we throw it at the rule engine."
"I would like to see the ability to have the changes in the configurations pushed out more easily and managed through Tufin to eliminate that human error factor more."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"This solution increases the time it takes to make changes."
"Their pricing is not very transparent. This is my biggest point regarding Tufin."
"Tufin product is good, but it requires a lot of CPU overhead."
"There are several security devices that are not on their list, so Tufin needs to improve this list."
"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."
 

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."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"There is a permanent license for devices, but it's not relative to a device itself. Once you purchase 10 licenses for virtual appliances or virtual context, you can put them into different virtual firewalls, but you can reuse these licenses for other devices if you don't need them for the old ones."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
