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

"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"Due to the usage of Tufin, we reduced the manual effort during audits to a minimum."
"The reporting simplifies the ability to report towards the business about how our rules are being used so we can make sure the security is always optimally maintained."
"Using this solution has drastically cut down on our implementation time."
"Based on looking at some of the other products out there, Tufin is definitely the leader of the pack."
"My experience with Tufin has been good; we haven’t had any technical issues and the features that I have seen in the software so far are excellent."
"In our current environment, the most valuable feature from Tufin is their Network Map."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. We have one guy who has never logged into Tufin ever in his life. He sits down and in 30 minutes had written an automation routine, then went back and changed it. He did that with no training. For me, that is a major benefit."
"Tufin provides a very comprehensive solution and anyone looking to go down the path of automation should not look any further because Tufin will be able to meet their requirements and scale out really effectively."
 

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."
"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."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"We have had a couple issues with the VMs, but I think it was just because they were starving for resources. A recommendation on what the virtual appliances should have for resources would be appreciated."
"I would like to see more customization with the emails that go out, the UI, the things that I look at, and the things that I see when I log in."
"I would really like to see a new UI for SecureChange. SecureTrack 2.0 has quite an improvement in the UI and it flows more smoothly. The current SecureTrack and SecureChange are a little blocky, and sometimes loading a tab or a page is required to refresh information. Whereas in SecureTrack 2.0, they're starting to improve on that."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
"This solution increases the time it takes to make changes."
"Tufin should do a better part of educating their users because it's quite complicated."
"I feel that the user interface is a bit dated."
"It seems to be stuck between the usability of a browser-based application and a full application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"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."
