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."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The product streamlines our change management process."
"On the technical side, the Tufin solution was very helpful for my team, as it would save them time by allowing them to check all the firewall policies in one console, for both Palo Alto and FortiGate, at the same time."
"My team uses it heavily to audit the changes made by junior engineers, going back and figuring out what they messed up, and correcting their mistakes. We generate reports for customer compliance and audits, as well as for regulatory audits."
"I don't think that we were ever slow, but we can now say that changes are completed within twenty-four hours."
"Within one hour, they have all the information they need to start creating firewall rules."
"I have used Tufin for traffic analysis, to check the traffic hitting a specific rule, for rule consolidation and so on."
"We use this product to sharpen our change cycle. A request used to take quite a while as we did manual assessments. A lot of that is now done through SecureTrack."
"If you don't have a product like Tufin, get a product like Tufin because it's amazing."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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 should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"I couldn't get it to work in the lab, even with help, on multiple occasions, from one of Tufin's engineers."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"It's not a very stable product. It doesn't stay up as often as I would like."
"I would like to see an improved reporting model that can be flexible for us to generate our own reports. The data's already there."
"The change impact analysis doesn't even get close to actually solving our problems. I am not impressed with it."
"The change workflow process is getting better. I wish it was a little more customizable. Right now, my biggest issue is that it wants to optimize everything we put in. Sometimes, we need a rule to be more readable, and we want it to go in a specific way. Sometimes, it's difficult to get Tufin to accept that. It wants to optimize and reduce the number of ACLs. On the compliance side, sometimes you just want more ACLs, so it's more readable for an auditor."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
"It needs more compatibility with older firewalls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"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."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
