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

"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is highly reliable."
"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."
"One of the main things is to look at what policies haven't been hit, so we can remove those remnant policies when people come in, use it, and it's still left on the Check Point. So when a couple of users say, "This is not needed anymore." We'll remove it."
"SecureChange is the most valuable feature as it shows the difference between policies and proxies that affect performance, such as the router or switches."
"Tufin takes this job down from a day, to sometimes five minutes."
"We are able to discover firewall rules that are too broad and widen the security footprint."
"Tufin is quite stable and typically does not require much troubleshooting."
"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously."
"The solution is good, and no clients complained about it, therefore, I recommend this solution for people seeking to use it, as they can never go wrong with it."
"Its ability to detect changes within our firewall."
 

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."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"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 wish there was a read-only admin option. I don't like that you have to be a full admin just to see the Network Topology Map. That option is great out there if you are a user, multi-domain user, etc. However, that piece is very helpful for us, but I also don't want to be handing out admin access to every single person so they can see that network tab."
"Customizing it can be a little tricky, but that depends on your use cases."
"The initial setup was complex. We have a big environment which contributed to the setup's complexity."
"I feel that the user interface is a bit dated."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see improved role-based access."
"The usability and speed of the solution needs improvement."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
 

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."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
