Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"The product is highly reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The solution is good, and no clients complained about it."
"We've scaled it to hundreds of firewalls."
"We find it to be flexible. If we have a change that needs to be done, it will go ahead and do it for all our devices, regardless of the manufacturer that we have associated with it."
"This has helped us to better clean up and audit changes to the firewall policy."
"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates. Everything is all auditable. Every change is tracked down to the person and time."
"We are able to discover firewall rules that are too broad and widen the security footprint."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management."
 

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"The system should be more customizable."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"The policy browser has had trouble working. We have experienced bugs."
"There were some hiccups here and there with the initial setup."
"They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs."
"I would like more enforcement. Right now. it's a lot of alerting. You see it in Tufin, but you have to go to Check Point or whatever device to make the actual action."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"I would like an improved reporting module which can be flexible (custom reports) and allow us to generate our own reports, because the data is already there."
"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."
 

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 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 cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"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."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
