Featured Reviews

Mostafiz Miah - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integration features and is user-friendly
What is happening in sometimes, if any issues found in the tool, ManageEngine takes time to provide a proper fix, but it does not happen most of the time. If there is a need to get some customized report or feature, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer team takes some time. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. From a product point of view, the tool is good, user-friendly, and offers easy installation and easy configuration.
Amroy Lumban Gaol - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, very secure solution that works well in Layer 2 environments
Integration for Layer 2 devices could be improved because it requires manual scripting. Other layers are very simple to integrate. It would be a benefit to have a form field for firewall names, user names, and passwords which then auto integrate. Licensing options are confusing and require additional fees for high availability. Competitors include high availability with their standard licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."
"Overall the solution does a good job."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions."
"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."
"Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."
"I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited."
"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously."
"The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage."
"It is an important application for controlling and monitoring firewall rules. It is useful for making and monitoring the changes."
"Its ability to detect changes within our firewall."
"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 most valuable feature of Tufin is security auditing. We are able to check the rules and compliance of the company, for example, what is allowed or not. We are able to check the rules over different gateways and set over firewalls."
"Valuable features include a central pane of management for all the firewalls and the ability to do queries on the rules and understand in which files the rules are configured."
"This solution has helped us meet our compliance mandates. Everything is all auditable. Every change is tracked down to the person and time."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario."
"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."
"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
"The metrics need improvement. They need more consistency or understanding of automation, along lines of customization of automation."
"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."
"The product that we have deployed for our main process gets bogged down in terms of its response. Maybe, we need to deploy a slightly smaller box. Eventually, we need to discuss this with Tufin is to see if we can move over to some sort of VM environment where we can add more processing power to it."
"The hardest piece is getting the matrix built."
"The pricing of the solution is rather expensive."
"A big improvement would be on the USP policy. If we could use Palo Alto to take those zone names and auto import them into the policy, then just do the policy based on the zone names instead of having to put in every single subnet."
"We need to implement micro-segmentation in our infrastructure, and we are using Cisco ACI. However, we are facing an issue with Tufin, as it does not currently support integration with ACI for micro-segmentation, even though it is advertised as such."
"They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that the price of the products is flexible. There have been different types of products, like professional and enterprise-based ones, and depending on the requirements, customers can choose their products."
"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is less expensive than some of their competitors, such as Cisco. The price is one of the reasons why we use ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer."
"Needs to work on pricing."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"We have seen ROI just in the time savings and knowledge. Knowledge is power. Having the solution do it automatically for you without you doing the work is huge. If you are spending $50,000 a year, it could have cost you a $100,000 in man-hours without it, especially if you are working with a team.."
"We have seen ROI in operational aspects, in terms of how long it takes to resolve incidences which arise."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"There are ways to deploy the license to different types of firewall. However, if we decide to change the physical brand of the firewall, we need to go back to Tufin and modify the licensing. This is a hassle."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
