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

"My advice for anybody who is considering the AWS Firewall Manager is that it is pretty simple to set up and easy to use."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"It is helpful for our compliance, as the compliance manager manages compliance with leading industry standards such as FedRAMP, which my company complies with, GDPR laws, and ISO 27001."
"The product is highly reliable."
"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."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The change workflow process is very easy to customize. You can do a workflow however you want, so you can have an approval every single step. Or, you can remove approvals on certain steps, automating some steps."
"Learn it and dig into it, because it's got some great capabilities."
"You can easily scale the solution if you need to."
"The Automatic Policy Generator is a valuable feature, because I've been converting from ASAs to Check Point."
"It provides a great visibility around the roots: Root implementing which can be done, roots that have changed, and what has been done, so it's pretty useful when you have an audit going on."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"Tufin has improved my organization with its configuration management; it has tremendously improved operation's success and has made life easier."
"It has helped us to meet our compliance mandates. We have some requirements that we need to provide more visibility on the risk levels of our firewall base and Tufin helped us with that requirement."
 

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"AWS Firewall Manager could be improved with more granular policy customization for better visibility through enhanced dashboards and reporting."
"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."
"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 pricing of the solution is rather expensive."
"USP does not support VPNs, which is a big thing for us, so we haven't been able to utilize it."
"For implementing the rules of SecureChange, and trying to implement it with all of the software we have on our side, change management, and workflow management, we need better integration with our existing tools that will make these changes a lot faster."
"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."
"I come more from the WAN space as opposed to the security space, so I would obviously like to see Tufin integrate with Cisco routers. There's room for more integrations with other products."
"For me, there are two things that can make Tufin a bit better... [It needs] a better focus on automation - automating a lot of the processes; and automating rule re-certification, or at least finding a way to simplify it."
"Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting."
"The older version that we have doesn't support some newer firewall vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"Price could always be better, but there are always consequences."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes: 20 to 30 hour plus."
"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."
