Mostafiz Miah - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integration features and is user-friendly
What is happening in sometimes, if any issues found in the tool, ManageEngine takes time to provide a proper fix, but it does not happen most of the time. If there is a need to get some customized report or feature, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer team takes some time. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. From a product point of view, the tool is good, user-friendly, and offers easy installation and easy configuration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."
"Overall the solution does a good job."
"I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited."
"The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions."
"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."
"We are able to stay compliant with many of the regulations."
"Tufin simplifies understanding network topology."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature: having SecureChange make the change on the firewalls, instead of my having to go manually make the changes on the vendor product."
"One of the things that came up this week was the ability to decommission a server, which we thought was interesting. We had a workshop recently that talked about all the things that need to be thought about when managing firewalls. People said, "A lot of times, things get forgotten when you are decommissioning a server." E.g., making sure rules are taken away and taking out the rule set. The fact that there is an automated workload for that can be helpful."
"One of the biggest quick wins that we had with Tufin was cleaning up our firewall policies and rules. We cleaned out a lot of rules which helped our devices, longevity-wise, as well as speed-wise."
"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions."
"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes. We have to be PCI compliant, and it's the tool we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."
"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario."
"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
"I would like the ability to export information in other formats including PDF, HTML, or Excel."
"The integration with different products needs to be improved."
"We would like better communication on tickets, a better way to do metrics, and better communication to the customer. The biggest change that my team would like right now is communication on the process of the ticket, so the customer knows where their ticket is while their waiting."
"I would like to see the setup of the Unified Security Policy simplified."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"They are a little bit behind on some of their support for the Palo Alto firewall platform. I'd like to see that catch up, specifically around importing certain objects."
"I think that the interface could be cleaner, and easier to use."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is less expensive than some of their competitors, such as Cisco. The price is one of the reasons why we use ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer."
"Needs to work on pricing."
"I know that the price of the products is flexible. There have been different types of products, like professional and enterprise-based ones, and depending on the requirements, customers can choose their products."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
"There is a permanent license for devices, but it's not relative to a device itself. Once you purchase 10 licenses for virtual appliances or virtual context, you can put them into different virtual firewalls, but you can reuse these licenses for other devices if you don't need them for the old ones."
