Azure Firewall Manager vs Tufin Orchestration Suite comparison

"The most valuable feature of Azure Firewall Manager is the testing and configuration."

"The tool's support is good."

"It is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."

"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. We have one guy who has never logged into Tufin ever in his life. He sits down and in 30 minutes had written an automation routine, then went back and changed it. He did that with no training. For me, that is a major benefit."

"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable... If we have a firewall completed and we want to redo it, if we need to re-engineer a particular firewall and open a different destination, we can do that by creating a break-fix... That is one of its useful tools."

"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes, specifically for the reporting functionality. For doing the rule cleanup and policy analysis, it would be a nightmare to do that manually. So, it is saving our engineering teams time from not having to do manual log reviews."

"The Topology Map, which feeds into our SecureChange - the latter being an automation platform - there's a lot of synergy between the two."

"It is an important application for controlling and monitoring firewall rules. It is useful for making and monitoring the changes."

"They have very good responses regarding integration and internalization with open tickets."

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

"The biggest benefit for us was the time frame to complete a ticket. It went from approximately a week and a half to two weeks down to about three days."

"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."

"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."

"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall."

"There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera."

"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."

"I would like to see AI elements included with this solution."

"We would like to see automation metrics, from a reporting standpoint. We would also like to see automation of site-to-site VPN tunnels. We would like to see automation of Check Point application-based firewall rules."

"The interface is like a 1990s kind of thing. It's a little ugly. There are many things that you cannot tweak, little things like the column width and how you display the information. You end up exporting everything to an Excel file and doing your work there."

"The change workflow process is getting better. I wish it was a little more customizable. Right now, my biggest issue is that it wants to optimize everything we put in. Sometimes, we need a rule to be more readable, and we want it to go in a specific way. Sometimes, it's difficult to get Tufin to accept that. It wants to optimize and reduce the number of ACLs. On the compliance side, sometimes you just want more ACLs, so it's more readable for an auditor."

"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It could have a more effective approach for creating and changing rules. It could provide advice or suggestions for a better understanding of rules and changing the rules. There should be suggestions for the rules that need to be changed to make them less risky."

"I would like to simplify the reports, and maybe have another view besides the charts. Possibly they could be more graphical."

"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."

"The price of the solution is reasonable but it is reasonable for the features."

"The solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."

"I'm saving 20 man-hours a week, so I am seeing some ROI."

"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."

"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."

"The price of Tufin could be lower."

"Pricing played a big part here... The customer had evaluated other products but, due to price as well as support, they chose Tufin."

"Licensing is available in both perpetual and subscription models, and it appears to be good for our scalable environments."

"I had a bad experience with the financial department, and the price is too high. The software does work and does the job. The solution is worth the money. If I had a different partner to implement the solution, it would have been worth the price."

"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
