Centralized security policies have streamlined audits and ensure consistent protection by default
One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option. The compliance reports are helpful, but having more granular insights or export options would make it even easier to use during audits. Also, support for more third-party integration could improve flexibility. Another improvement I need to see is a smoother setup experience. Some of the initial configuration steps, especially around the organization and permissions, can feel complex. A more guided setup or clear UI explanation would make it easier for teams to adopt quickly. One more improvement would be better alerting options. Right now, we mostly rely on AWS Security Hub or CloudWatch for detailed alerts. Having more built-in, real-time notification directly from AWS Firewall Manager would make it easier to monitor policy violations without extra setup.
Vulnerability control saves audit costs and reduces expenses for organizations
Tufin Orchestration Suite is not commonly used in Thailand due to a lack of local support, and many customers are switching to AlgoSec or other vendors. The analytics features of Tufin Orchestration Suite are challenging to use and require technical expertise, which is a concern as there is not much knowledge in this field in Thailand. The issue of technical knowledge, especially regarding English language proficiency, is significant for government and some companies, making Tufin Orchestration Suite harder to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"We work with compliance monitoring in the product, which is helpful for identifying framework-based misconfigurations, as it can tell you where to deploy firewall policies based on the frameworks."
"Overall, it improved our security posture and made audits much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The most valuable feature is scaling, which allows you to deploy one configuration and scan and deploy it across the network. The automated policy application feature also streamlines security operations."
"The product is highly reliable."
"Tufin makes things a little easier; it lessens the amount of manual work which we have to do and has a lot of benefits in terms of revenues, profits, employee costs, and operational costs."
"We are able to discover firewall rules that are too broad and widen the security footprint."
"I don't think that we were ever slow, but we can now say that changes are completed within twenty-four hours."
"The customer service is superb and quite good."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"It's very solid product."
"One is that from the portal people are able to request access, and it is going to be able to stage the policy, add the rules or objects or whatever is needed for us so that all we need to do is push the policy at the time."
"Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"One area for improvement is the reporting and customization option."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"The system should be more customizable."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"It needs better reporting with more graphics and more pie charts, so management can understand details."
"I would like see the workflow process expand out to give us the ability to tie it to other APIs."
"I would like to see an improved reporting model that can be flexible for us to generate our own reports."
"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."
"The key area for improvement is the integration to F5. One of the things that we encountered with another customer is that there were some limitations when we tried to migrate policies from F5 into Tufin."
"I'd like to say SDN needs to be improved. This is the key and where the revolution in technology is going."
"We would like to use Tufin through the cloud. Right now, Tufin is on premises, which means we have to manage it, we have to upgrade it, and we have to take care of the devices."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It could have a more effective approach for creating and changing rules. It could provide advice or suggestions for a better understanding of rules and changing the rules. There should be suggestions for the rules that need to be changed to make them less risky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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."
"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."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"There is no issue with the pricing because we used a VM. That kept the cost low, as compared to an appliance."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
"I believe our cost is more than $100,000 per year."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
