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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"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."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The product is highly reliable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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 quite user-friendly and intuitive."
"Tufin provides insights through various reporting capabilities, providing a level of insight into change that didn't exist before and giving us the ability to validate changes against business needs while also allowing us to automate certain functions."
"For what we are using it for, it does exactly what it is supposed to, and we don't have any issues with it."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies because it is so fast, as a report about compliance and the clean-up process used to take about one month before, but with Tufin it takes only one day."
"It provides a comprehensive overview of what our network looks like in terms of what is allowed and what is not, then how the traffic' is flowing with the Network Topology Map."
"The biggest benefit of this is that it allows us to see how security functions as a hole."
"The ability to compare the old policy and the new policies is real handy."
"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes, and we have to be PCI compliant, and it is the tool that we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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 product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"Their pricing is too expensive, and I think they're one of the best products on the market but I think they can't get enough market share because of the pricing (the licensing)."
"Currently, we are able to monitor access rules and the operating system of a firewall. It would be great if we can also monitor the configuration of the firewall through Tufin."
"My suggestion would be to be able to correlate it with other toolsets, and not just have it contained in their own toolsets."
"For me, there are two things that can make Tufin a bit better... [It needs] a better focus on automation - automating a lot of the processes; and automating rule re-certification, or at least finding a way to simplify it."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin. It is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow... Even though we are allocating 130 gigs of RAM, we still have to wait for a few minutes for a single report to be generated. Otherwise it would be a perfect tool."
"The GUI is not really adaptable as you cannot configure it."
"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."
 

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."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"This solution helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"There are ways to deploy the license to different types of firewall. However, if we decide to change the physical brand of the firewall, we need to go back to Tufin and modify the licensing. This is a hassle."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
