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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"It is helpful for our compliance, as the compliance manager manages compliance with leading industry standards such as FedRAMP, which my company complies with, GDPR laws, and ISO 27001."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The product is highly reliable."
"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"Our engineers save quite a bit of time that was previously spent on manual processes."
"We use it to clean up our firewall policies, which gives us better security policy and less junk on the firewalls."
"Firewall automation was one of the biggest concerns we had, and we have largely sorted that out with this tool."
"If you're in a large environment, a large enterprise, it's a good tool."
"The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes; with Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes, whereas before it was 30 minutes or more."
"We really appreciate the change manager; it's one of the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The visibility is very good. We have managers who are overseeing it, and they are approving things through it."
"The biggest benefit for us was the time frame to complete a ticket, which went from approximately a week and a half to two weeks down to about three days."
 

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. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"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."
"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 could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"The system should be more customizable."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"They need to offer more support to vendors, such as Cisco, Checkpoint, Fortinet, and Forcepoint."
"For the project I worked on, there were some things that didn't work quite well enough, so I got the impression that customer service had different expectations from technical service."
"I'd like to see more work done on the topology side."
"I’d like to see the application topology developed more."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
"Customizing it can be a little tricky, but that depends on your use cases."
"Their pricing is not very transparent. This is my biggest point regarding Tufin."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"If you don't buy their premium support, their technical support is not great and you can only call during daytime hours. So, we ended up purchasing their premium support."
"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."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"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."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
