RedSeal vs Tufin Orchestration Suite comparison

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

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

"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."

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

"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."

"There are a lot of benefits to using the reporting. It gives us duplicate objects, duplicate services, shadow firewall rules, and the firewall rules not needed for a given number of days or months."

"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."

"The most valuable function is the SecureChange where it is able to automate everything from the validation of the rules to the pushing of the rules."

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

"The reports that this solution provides are very useful."

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

"Tufin is quite stable and typically does not require much troubleshooting."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"I would like the application to have faster response times. E.g., the dashboard may take up to two minutes to load. Or, when we do the topology seating its two and a half hours. I would like to get those times down and increase the efficiency of the product there."

"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."

"I would like to see them get rid of the REST APIs and use something more modern."

"I would like to see AI elements included with this solution."

"I would like easier integration with more automation."

"I would like to see more expansion into the cloud and documentation needs improvement. When I try to do something new in the product, the documentation is no help. Something's written there, but it's not enough to help you do what you want to do."

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

"I would like to see better report integration in this solution."

"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."

"The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. With Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes. Before, it was 30 minutes or more."

"Tufin makes things a little easier. It lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do. It has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs. We have already seen return on investment."

"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."

"If you don't buy their premium support, their technical support is not great and you can only call during daytime hours. So, we ended up purchasing their premium support."

"The price is on the cheaper side."

"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."

"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."
