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."

"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."

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

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

"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 features are network mapping and configuration."

"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."

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

"Valuable features include a central pane of management for all the firewalls and the ability to do queries on the rules and understand in which files the rules are configured."

"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives us to browse our entire infrastructure and easily find which rules match our policies."

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

"The Automatic Policy Generator is a valuable feature, because I've been converting from ASAs to Check Point."

"I am impressed with the deployability; the set-up is really straightforward."

"For our clientele, this solution has, without question, saved them time when it comes to making changes."

"The automated reporting on a regular basis is helping us to be compliant with legal requirements."

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

"There is room for improvement regarding customization and automation of reports."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"I would like easier integration with more automation."

"I want Tufin to be used by my entire team, but due to a lack of training and lack of resources, we are not able to do that."

"The initial setup can be tough."

"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable to some extent, but there is room for improvement."

"The documentation site is horrible as well. It has a tree structure, and you really get lost quite easily."

"Also, it's pretty slow for us. Just to run an analysis for a single rule, we need to wait at least five minutes."

"I would like to see the hardware specifications improved."

"The GUI is limited with respect to how much you can develop and visualize the process."

"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."

"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."

"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 just in the time savings and knowledge. Knowledge is power. Having the solution do it automatically for you without you doing the work is huge. If you are spending $50,000 a year, it could have cost you a $100,000 in man-hours without it, especially if you are working with a team.."

"The solution is more reasonably priced than its competitors."

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

"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."

"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."

"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
