Sikkander  Batcha - PeerSpot reviewer

Has managed traffic effectively but lacks visibility and advanced control features
Azure Firewall is typically behind other vendor firewalls because we don't see what kind of traffic is traveling through it. That is one drawback. The main drawback is that we need log support from Azure Firewall, which can be quite costly. There is no login feature in Azure Firewall because only the IAM feature is available in the Azure site; we manage it only through the Azure portal, not through any other portal. Other vendors, such as Palo Alto, provide GUI or CLI interfaces to manage their firewalls, whereas we only manage Azure Firewall through the Azure portal. In the future, I would like to see additional features in Azure Firewall Manager to make it more competitive, such as technologies like App-ID and User-ID that Palo Alto has. Azure Firewall currently only allows traffic based on layer four and sometimes layer seven, so they need to improve in those areas compared to other vendors.
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

"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"Azure Firewall Manager centralizes network security management with a hub and spoke architecture."
"We are utilizing Azure Entra ID for group labeling, so Active Directory, or now it is Entra ID, securing our application for everyone who accesses it, and Azure Firewall Manager is definitely securing our projects and all its features are fine."
"From a traffic management perspective, it's a good firewall because it's automatically scalable based on the traffic availability."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the web firewall, as it is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"The tool's support is good."
"I would definitely recommend the solution to my clients, especially if one is using Azure Cloud."
"I have used Tufin for traffic analysis, to check the traffic hitting a specific rule, for rule consolidation and so on."
"I am impressed with the deployability; the set-up is really straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that it extends security entries in the firewall policies."
"For any customer who wants a solution that is quick to set up and just works, Tufin's the way to go."
"You can easily scale the solution if you need to."
"The biggest value for me is the ease of implementation."
"Before we'd have to manually go down rule bases three-thousand lines long, rule by rule finding the stuff that's missing, so it saves us a lot of time."
"In January, it took us 25 days to process a firewall rules request, and by June, it took us eight and a half days using the solution, helping reduce the time it takes us to make changes by 66 percent."
 

Cons

"The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools."
"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
"Azure charges for many aspects including scaling, automated scaling deployment, and traffic management, which leads to higher costs."
"The configuration and settings require substantial time for learning, particularly for new users. Improvements in ease of configuration would benefit users significantly."
"Microsoft was unable to fully solve the problem with email phishing and spamming."
"The cost is a significant concern because we are in a region where the dollar is not our default currency, and converting to dollars makes it very expensive."
"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"For Azure Firewall Manager, the learning curve for new people is a bit challenging, but the integration should be more straightforward for configuring a centralized system."
"Our biggest problem is that we have a very complex environment. It can get a little crazy when we throw it at the rule engine."
"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"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."
"There were some hiccups here and there with the initial setup, but we used Tufin's support to assist us with that."
"I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility."
"The GUI is not really adaptable as you cannot configure it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"The price of the solution is reasonable but it is reasonable for the features."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
