Automated security operations streamline network protection
I use AWS Firewall Manager primarily for cybersecurity solutions, particularly for AWS Firewall Manager AWS Firewall Manager can be the control plane for multiple deployed applications like CloudFront and any other network firewall, BPF, and VPC. Everything can be managed with one dashboard. It…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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 most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"The product is highly reliable."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Tufin simplifies understanding network topology."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting of our risk poster in our firewall."
"We can get reports with Tufin at anytime. We can have automated reports, even with security and compliance."
"Tufin is our audit trail for all changes. We have to be PCI compliant, and it's the tool we go to for enforcing PCI on the network side."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is rule analysis."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable... If we have a firewall completed and we want to redo it, if we need to re-engineer a particular firewall and open a different destination, we can do that by creating a break-fix... That is one of its useful tools."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature: having SecureChange make the change on the firewalls, instead of my having to go manually make the changes on the vendor product."
 

Cons

"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"Customizing it can be a little tricky, but that depends on your use cases."
"The GUI is limited with respect to how much you can develop and visualize the process."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
"A limitation right now for compressed firewalls is the limited ability to see above a site level in terms of the Topology Mapping in the policy display. While Tufin's actively working on a solution, or at least they have this in the queue, from being able to view this on a higher level and how all of our site networks are connected, this ability would be useful, as we expect to have these compressed firewalls in place for quite some time."
"I would like the ability to export information in other formats including PDF, HTML, or Excel."
"Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting."
"We want to have the ability for a ticket requester to add somebody, or to give somebody view rights to their ticket."
"While Tufin is suitable for small businesses, issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"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."
"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."
"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"The solution has helped reduce the time it takes us to make changes. It helps make overall integrated changes immediately. It allows us to cut down at least a few hours in the week in regards to changes and monitoring."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"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."
