RedSeal vs Tufin Orchestration Suite comparison

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

"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 features are network mapping and configuration."

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

"It made us look at security policies more holistically."

"The Topology Map, which feeds into our SecureChange - the latter being an automation platform - there's a lot of synergy between the two."

"The filtering of lots of criteria is very valuable."

"We were hit by the NotPetya attack. Therefore, our whole company and all its sites were down for several months. So, you don't have an attack like that and not need something like Tufin. Other companies can prevent these attacks, or at least slow them down, by having this type of a tool. We will never go back."

"Tufin assists us in maintaining a robust view of our internal network topology."

"Policy management and the cartography of the network have been the most valuable features."

"It has allowed us to be more efficient in our processing of firewall requests."

"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."

"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."

"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."

"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."

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

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

"The change impact analysis doesn't even get close to actually solving our problems. I am not impressed with it."

"The biggest area where I see a need for improvement is some of the documentation and training stuff. It does a really good job of hitting the big concepts, but it needs like another layer deeper of actually getting into some of the details of how to do some of the things. Conceptually, I understand how the product works, but now how do I start building stuff and integrating it into my environment."

"It does not natively support all of the Check Point functions which is a big deal."

"The interface is like a 1990s kind of thing. It's a little ugly. There are many things that you cannot tweak, little things like the column width and how you display the information. You end up exporting everything to an Excel file and doing your work there."

"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."

"In the next release I would like to see better migration in the Cloud because that will allow more visibility in the network."

"The topology needs improvement. If I click on the network tab, I can go get a cup of coffee, come back, and my topology is still not painted. Maybe, it's just because we have so many devices, but looking at the topology, it is too slow. The problem is that when I click on the network tab, I do not want to see the topology. I want to click on the "Next" button, so I can put in the source and destination, so I can see the path. However, I still have to sit there and wait for the topology to load, and it's frustrating. I'll click on topology and try to click that "Next" button in time to where I can get around it. But, typically, you have to wait for that topology to paint. When it paints it, it's just a bunch of black smudges because there is just so much there. It can't paint it to where you see something. I can always zoom out, or something like that, but it's really worthless."

"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."

"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."

"It's not that expensive, except for Security Groups. For us, just the Security Groups were about half of the total price. The total was about €500,000 a year, of which €200,000 was for Security Groups."

"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."

"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."

"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."

"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."

"The pricing is reasonable."
