"The solution is very easy to set up."
"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"Azure Firewall definitely needs a broader feature base. It should be able to go all the way up to layer 7 when looking at applications and things like that."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"It would be much easier if the on-premises, firewall rules, had some kind of export-import possibility in place, which is not the case right now."

"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."
"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."
