Tufin Orchestration Suite and Skybox Security Suite are competitors in network security management. Tufin holds a slight advantage in automating firewall rule management, whereas Skybox excels in vulnerability management and threat context correlation.

Features: Tufin Orchestration Suite offers automation of firewall management with SecureTrack and SecureChange, allows comprehensive policy audits across multiple vendors, and provides enhanced policy visualization tools beneficial for DevOps workflows. Skybox Security Suite focuses on providing network assurance, advanced threat context correlation, and robust vulnerability management, which offer enterprises broad threat exposure visibility.

NenadMijatovic

Director of Sales at S4E Serbia

Efficient in vulnerability management, stable and easy to use

Vulnerability management is the most valuable feature because it lets you focus on the most critical vulnerabilities. That's the important thing. Here in Serbia, there are not so many companies that have too many firewalls inside one company. So, they usually don't buy this model for Firewall Assurance unless there is some compliance. So you can prove that your firewalls are compliant. So, that model is not so important here in Serbia. It's for bigger companies. So, they usually buy network assurance to build the model of the network and vulnerability management to focus on the most important vulnerabilities. Moreover, Skybox can collect data for many vendors. From the endpoint protection vendors to the network equipment vendors to other security vendors. So, it supports more than one hundred vendors to collect data from them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."

"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."

"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."

"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."

"Change Manager is most important because of the impact on each other of a network change or a firewall change. We want to understand this and to know, beforehand, what the impact of a change will be. We are a large network so that is a very important tool."

"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."

"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."

"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."

More Skybox Security Suite pros

"It is very stable."

"The most valuable feature of Tufin is we have better visibility and management of our file infrastructure."

"The product streamlines our change management process."

"We are using the visibility with notifications on every firewall change and what those changes were. We have visibility to see who is making the changes, and when."

"The most valuable feature is alerting, which lets me know when someone has made a change."

"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."

"This solution has helped us to meet our compliance mandates. We implemented the Unified Security Policy (USP). This helped enforce what compliance requirements that we had. We have mitigated and remediated issues that have been brought forth due to that USP showing us issues."

"The clarity around the auditing provides the most value for us."

Cons

"It's expensive."

"There is room for improvement in the product's user interface. It could be more user-friendly."

"The tool does not offer options for customization."

"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."

"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."

"There is room for improvement in the technical support."

"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."

"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."

More Skybox Security Suite cons

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

"We would like to see more in terms of integration with other application types within the context, such as next-generation firewalls or next-generation threat devices that are out there."

"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 AI elements included with this solution."

"The pricing could be a bit more competitive."

"The hardest piece is getting the matrix built."

"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin. It is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow... Even though we are allocating 130 gigs of RAM, we still have to wait for a few minutes for a single report to be generated. Otherwise it would be a perfect tool."

"We use a lot of inline rules, and it would be beneficial to see those from within Tufin."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"The price of the Skybox Security Suite can be expensive."

"The price is not expensive."

"Currently, the licensing costs me about $300 USD for the year. This is a huge amount for my environment."

"I've seen the pricing of every solution on the market. When you compare apples to apples, where Skybox becomes exceedingly expensive is if you look at it compared to something like FireMon that only does a fraction of what Skybox does. But if you include everything that Skybox does, it becomes way more expensive than the competition, but you're also not comparing apples to apples. If you look at FireMon, and you look at like just the firewall assurance piece, they are fairly comparable and, actually, Skybox comes in a little bit cheaper in some cases, depending on which product you're looking at."

"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."

"It's expensive."

"The product's pricing is excellent value. In terms of licensing, make sure you understand your network components, all your hops through your network, thoroughly, before you decide on the total cost. If you want to do point-to-point flow analysis and such, you need to have the configuration of all the devices in between point A and point B. A lot of people don't realize all their network components until they start using this product."

More Skybox Security Suite pricing and cost advice

"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."

"There is a permanent license for devices, but it's not relative to a device itself. Once you purchase 10 licenses for virtual appliances or virtual context, you can put them into different virtual firewalls, but you can reuse these licenses for other devices if you don't need them for the old ones."

"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."

"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."

"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."

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

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

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