RedSeal vs Tufin Orchestration Suite comparison

"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network; if an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."

"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

"The Vulnerability and Risk Management feature is valuable to us for keeping the security posture up-to-date and conducting regular continuous audits."

"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."

"RedSeal helps you prioritize and allocate your scarce human and capital resources where they have the biggest impact to protect your most-valuable digital assets."

"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."

"The most valuable feature I enjoy that is provided by this security analytics platform is the ability to measure resilience."

"The policy browser gives the ability to browse all firewalls from a single point."

"The huge ROI we witnessed has resulted in us identifying that we can go to market to gain more customers and really broaden our customer base without the 'con' of hiring more people."

"Tufin's given us the ability to correlate between policy and firewall rules."

"The solution is stable, it doesn't have bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it is reliable."

"The features I have found most valuable are its capability to check on the firewall and the routers. Afterwards it checks out all the configs, checks the vulnerabilities, checks the risks - it checks everything that may end up causing our router to be compromised. At the end it recommendations what we should do."

"The ability to compare the old policy and the new policies is real handy."

"We felt that Tufin was the leader in the space and we chose it because it was easy to use, very customizable, and it gave us every one of the requirements that we were looking for."

"The most valuable features are the GUI interface and the API."

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."

"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."

"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."

"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."

"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."

"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."

"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."

"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."

"The topology was so complicated that we threw it away after months of having Tufin people come out to try and make it work."

"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."

"I would like a better reporting feature and automatic alerting based upon rule changes."

"We had some issues because of our unique configuration."

"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls."

"My worry with Tufin is that it cannot connect to Fortinet, which is what I want to do."

"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."

"This solution helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."

"It is expensive, but as compared to other players, it's more or less okay. Their pricing is not very transparent. This is my biggest point regarding Tufin. I've never seen a price list or something like that. It's always individual, and in many cases, it's very confusing to know what is the base and what is the price."

"We have seen ROI from the side of operations, and we'll probably get to more of that as time goes on. However it took a while to get to that point."

"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."

"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."

"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."

"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."

"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
