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

"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"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."
"It helps us to meet our compliance mandates because we are able to define whatever compliance we are subject to."
"For what we are using it for, it does exactly what it is supposed to, and we don't have any issues with it."
"We are very happy and it's a good product."
"It’s a pretty good product."
"The solution handles our complex environment with no issues."
"It gives our firewall administrators visibility into the total infrastructure."
"The solution is stable, it doesn't have bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it is reliable."
"This has helped us to better clean up and audit changes to the firewall policy."
 

Cons

"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"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. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"The system should be more customizable."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."
"I would like the application to have faster response times. E.g., the dashboard may take up to two minutes to load. Or, when we do the topology seating its two and a half hours. I would like to get those times down and increase the efficiency of the product there."
"We were just talking to them about usage for the F5 platform. They will not be going after specific environments, but a more OpenAPI. They will have other companies write it, etc. It's a little different than I had expected."
"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."
"There are at least two things that need improvement. One is the business workflow and the second is the integration with logging solutions."
"Right now, my biggest issue is that it wants to optimize everything we put in."
"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls and it should be included."
"Customizing it can be a little tricky, but that depends on your use cases."
 

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."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"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."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
