RedSeal vs Tufin Orchestration Suite comparison

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."

"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

"Tufin has improved my organization with its configuration management. It has tremendously improved the operation's success and has made life easier."

"In our current environment, the most valuable feature from Tufin is their Network Map."

"The features I have found most valuable are its capability to check on the firewall and the routers. Afterwards it checks out all the configs, checks the vulnerabilities, checks the risks - it checks everything that may end up causing our router to be compromised. At the end it recommendations what we should do."

"Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management."

"It's user-friendly. It's easy to understand menus on the web GUI. That's a good feature for us. I can say that it's doing what it's supposed to do. It also integrates well with other products like Check Point."

"The automated reporting on a regular basis is helping us to be compliant with legal requirements."

"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."

"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies because it is so fast. A report about compliance and the clean-up process used to take about one month up before. With Tufin, it takes only one day."

"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."

"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."

"The two main negative points with Tufin Orca are the absence of full support and that accommodation of files and tools is not provided in a good way."

"Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."

"They are a little bit behind on some of their support for the Palo Alto firewall platform. I'd like to see that catch up, specifically around importing certain objects."

"This solution increases the time it takes to make changes."

"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."

"There are things that could be explained a little better for somebody brand new to this system, which could be helpful, especially if it was in real-time while you were working in the system. Having the ability in real-time to be able to understand search query suggestions would be helpful."

"The pricing of the solution is rather expensive."

"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."

"The price of Tufin could be lower."

"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."

"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.."

"The additional piece, which we are buying and doesn't include our other solution, is close to 300,000."

"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."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."

"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."

"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
