Has strengthened compliance management and improved threat detection through real-time security integrations
We work with the compliance monitoring capability in AWS Firewall Manager, and my firm has one level of additional layer of security over the compliance management that AWS Firewall Manager provides, so we implement both of them. 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. It has an impact on our security policies because it has an inheritance rule where anything implemented on AWS Firewall Manager gets overridden on AWS Organizations, which works on the concept of root organization units. I would assess this feature positively, as we have integrated AWS Firewall Manager with GuardDuty, which provides real-time threat detection and alerts to our teams.
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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"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."
"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 product is highly reliable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"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."
"I like the deployment and management of this solution."
"A customer is able to submit a request for access and Tufin will automatically analyze the system to find out where the rule needs to go, and then design the rule for you."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate Tufin Orchestration Suite eight on a scale of one to ten."
"The most valuable feature is that it extends security entries in the firewall policies."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"It gives our firewall administrators visibility into the total infrastructure."
"This solution has helped our clients because it allows them to leverage the tools so that they can actually reduce their overall expenses for the environment."
 

Cons

"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"For AWS WAF, we have seen cases where it allowed suspicious HTTPS headers even if they carried malicious payloads."
"The system should be more customizable."
"The areas of improvement are definitely platform resiliency, as we have seen outages on the AWS backbone, and whenever there is an outage on the AWS backbone, it impacts all the services hosted on that region, so we expect regional resiliency."
"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Our project is running on Riverbed for SDN. I don't know if Tufin can integrate with Riverbed. Other than that, I have no issues with this product."
"I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
"We would like better communication on tickets, a better way to do metrics, and better communication to the customer. The biggest change that my team would like right now is communication on the process of the ticket, so the customer knows where their ticket is while their waiting."
"There was some complexity during the initial setup"
"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."
"I would rate their reports as a four out of ten. I don't like the way that they are shown. It is too hard to export and send them to our clients."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable to some extent, but there is room for improvement. In some cases, we've found it difficult to get the exact thing which we were looking for. Then, we end up having to go and do the thing manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The AWS Firewall Manager is a little on the costly side."
"From what I've heard from my colleagues, it appears that the pricing is competitive, which influenced our decision to choose this option."
"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"Because we're quite a large company, the price wasn't too much of a factor for us."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."
"We did look at less expensive solutions than Tufin, but being a corporation, this solution made sense."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"While licensing varies greatly, it is about $50,000 a year."
