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."
"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."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The product is highly reliable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"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."
"Before Tufin, we knew that we had issues with regards to how many firewalls we had in place, but with Tufin, we are able to manage and say, "Okay this rule was requested, we know who is the author, and we know who it belongs to and to what application.""
"This solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes; previously, it was taking up to seven days, and now, unless there is an issue with the request, we usually have it done in a day."
"You should definitely be looking at this as in your top-two choices, before even considering any other solutions."
"Tufin saves a lot of time on the policy requests deployment, enhances the SLA of the policy requests or changes, and enhances the accuracy of the policy deployment."
"The designer gives the ability to know where to add a rule, or if the rule is already in place."
"It’s the fact that before Tufin it wasn’t possible to manage firewall changes; we used emails, and now different departments can actually intervene at the same time on the same workflow and accelerate the job."
"Now we can confidently remove firewall rules that are not needed and make the configuration of firewalls more strict."
"Using this solution has drastically cut down on our implementation time."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"For the most part, stability is alright. It works well until we do an update and it breaks everything."
"A big improvement would be on the USP policy. If we could use Palo Alto to take those zone names and auto import them into the policy, then just do the policy based on the zone names instead of having to put in every single subnet."
"It could be a little more intuitive."
"I couldn't get it to work in the lab, even with help, on multiple occasions, from one of Tufin's engineers."
"I would like to simplify the reports, and maybe have another view besides the charts. Possibly they could be more graphical."
"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."
"Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting."
"I think SecureApp could be improved because, many organizations who implement Tufin majorly use SecureTrack and SecureChange, SecureApp is rarely used basing on their requirement."
 

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."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"We have seen ROI just in the time savings and knowledge. Knowledge is power. Having the solution do it automatically for you without you doing the work is huge. If you are spending $50,000 a year, it could have cost you a $100,000 in man-hours without it, especially if you are working with a team.."
"If you don't buy their premium support, their technical support is not great and you can only call during daytime hours. So, we ended up purchasing their premium support."
"The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. With Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes. Before, it was 30 minutes or more."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
