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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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 the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"This solution has helped reduce the time it takes our customers to make changes by 50 percent, and engineers are spending less time on manual processes by 50 percent."
"It offers automation capabilities that are very helpful, especially for network security orchestration and applying policies."
"Manually looking at the policies is very time-consuming, and with this product, I think we've streamlined the process tremendously."
"I use the solution daily and can see it anytime that I want, and I find it invaluable in day-to-day management of firewall policy and policy changes."
"I have seen ROI with this product; we've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize."
"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates; everything is all auditable and every change is tracked down to the person and time."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"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."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"The problems we have with the F5 is what brings the rating down, because that was a big part of the reason we purchased it."
"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
"At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement."
"I’d like to see the application topology developed more."
"The initial setup seemed like it required a lot of effort."
"If we could get the compliance part working, that would help out a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"We have seen ROI from the side of operations, and we'll probably get to more of that as time goes on. However it took a while to get to that point."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"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."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"The pricing is reasonable."
