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.
Amroy Lumban Gaol - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, very secure solution that works well in Layer 2 environments
Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting. Other layers are very simple to integrate. It would be a benefit to have a form field for firewall names, user names, and passwords which then auto integrate. Licensing options are confusing and require additional fees for high availability. Competitors include high availability with their standard licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall the solution does a good job."
"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 helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."
"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."
"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."
"The consolidation of other firewall vendors is very valuable."
"I like the deployment and management of this solution."
"This solution provides a more organized manner for us to track towards compliance for our PCI audits."
"It is a great solution. If you have all the devices and firewalls in place, the amount of details that you get along with the network topology is very good."
"It provides very good reports. It can easily integrate with multiple firewalls, such as Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and Checkpoint. We can push a policy from Tufin to a firewall, which is a very good feature. We can monitor all access rules and the operating system of a firewall."
"This solution helps us ensure that security policy is followed across our entire hybrid network. You can have a Unified Security Policy which reaches across all networks, so if you are having a change submitted, it doesn't matter if you're enforcing it or not. You can get an alert saying, "This is a violation." That's a value-add."
"Tufin is the only multi-vendor firewall tool that is available, and it helps to bring everything together and report on what all of the rules are."
"We just got done with major audits. Tufin was able to provide information to give back to people, and say, "Hey, this is what I need to do, and what we're doing.""
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
"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 stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."
"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
"We want to have the ability for a ticket requester to add somebody, or to give somebody view rights to their ticket."
"I would like something that addresses security in the cloud."
"While Tufin is suitable for small businesses, issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic."
"USP does not support VPNs, which is a big thing for us, so we haven't been able to utilize it."
"I would like the ability to export information in other formats including PDF, HTML, or Excel."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to assign a step in the workflow to a specific user at a specific time, based on how the previous steps of the workflow have been handled."
"In the next release I would like to see better migration in the Cloud because that will allow more visibility in the network."
"My worry with Tufin is that it cannot connect to Fortinet, which is what I want to do."
 

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."
"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."
"Needs to work on pricing."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"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."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
