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

"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 solution helps us ensure that security policy is followed across our entire hybrid network."
"For what we are using it for, it does exactly what it is supposed to, and we don't have any issues with it."
"The most valuable function is the SecureChange where it is able to automate everything from the validation of the rules to the pushing of the rules."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is rule analysis."
"The comparison of what changed, along with being able to use the historical data to see if access existed on a specific date in the past and who removed it, makes it a great tool."
"Based on looking at some of the other products out there, Tufin is definitely the leader of the pack."
"The biggest benefit for us was the time frame to complete a ticket. It went from approximately a week and a half to two weeks down to about three days."
"Technical support for this solution has been great."
 

Cons

"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."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"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"
"It needs more compatibility with older firewalls."
"I'd like to see automation of a number of steps."
"The interface is like a 1990s kind of thing. It's a little ugly. There are many things that you cannot tweak, little things like the column width and how you display the information. You end up exporting everything to an Excel file and doing your work there."
"We would like to see automation metrics, from a reporting standpoint."
"The topology was so complicated that we threw it away after months of having Tufin people come out to try and make it work."
"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 more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"We would like Tufin to have interoperability with Juniper products, along with official support."
 

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 AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"The solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes. It helps make overall integrated changes immediately. It allows us to cut down at least a few hours in the week in regards to changes and monitoring."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
