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

"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, it is a good product."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"Before we had Tufin, we had to do firewall policy cleanup and it was pretty painful, but with Tufin, you can generate a report in 20 minutes and start taking action on it right away."
"In the past, we would do certain things because of private knowledge of people's own understanding of the network. We don't have to rely on just that piece of it, because of the topology. We now know which firewalls come into play."
"The solution's most valuable features are its security policy and steps for deployment."
"With the limited knowledge I have of it and the limited use, I would say it is a pretty useful tool if you have a large environment with a lot of devices and you are trying to make it easier for the technicians to basically pawn the work off and make the application team more accountable."
"The solution has helped us reduce the time it takes us to make changes from weeks to days, and engineers are spending less time on manual processes by about 15 to 20 percent."
"We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."
"Comparing the rules and policy browser is valuable to me. It gives me the ability to pull running configs and be able to analyze them without having to go directly into the firewall."
"The reason that we purchased the solution is because of the visibility that it provides."
 

Cons

"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."
"The system should be more customizable."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"In AWS, there are so many features that many users get confused about what to use and what not to use."
"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."
"I would like to see them get rid of the REST APIs and use something more modern."
"I would like something that addresses security in the cloud."
"We had some issues because of our unique configuration."
"We actually had a key issue, which was a bug, that the development team didn't want to fix."
"We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"Tufin product is good, but it requires a lot of CPU overhead."
"The reporting function could improve in Tufin. For our clients with companies that have strong compliance, reporting privacy data is mostly a problem. In the IT department, private data needs a function that one person can analyze it. It requires multiple people to analyze the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
