Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The tool's support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It has allowed us to be more efficient in our processing of firewall requests."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"Tufin simplifies understanding network topology."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it extends security entries in the firewall policies."
"The change workflow process is very easy to customize. You can do a workflow however you want, so you can have an approval every single step. Or, you can remove approvals on certain steps, automating some steps."
"One of the main things is to look at what policies haven't been hit, so we can remove those remnant policies when people come in, use it, and it's still left on the Check Point. So when a couple of users say, "This is not needed anymore." We'll remove it."
 

Cons

"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
"There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."
"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"The integration with different products needs to be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit more competitive."
"The older version that we have doesn't support some newer firewall vendors."
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"The two main negative points with Tufin Orca are the absence of full support and that accommodation of files and tools is not provided in a good way."
"The initial setup of Tufin was complex. We had some issues with the architecture."
"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

"The solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"The price of the solution is reasonable but it is reasonable for the features."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"Our licensing fees are more than $100,000 USD per year."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
