Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The product is highly reliable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management."
"Its ability to detect changes within our firewall."
"Tufin has made handling firewall rule request tickets more centralized and easier to manage."
"The Topology Map, which feeds into our SecureChange - the latter being an automation platform - there's a lot of synergy between the two."
"It allows administrators to visualize the traffic flow, and troubleshoot when necessary."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. I was really impressed with it. It's pretty easy. You can add automatic validation steps. Depending on the security matrix, you can pre-allow whatever flow you want."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It made us look at security policies more holistically."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in the user interface and integration capabilities."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"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."
"The system should be more customizable."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"AWS Firewall Manager should be open to manage other third-party appliances as well."
"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."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"We use a lot of inline rules, and it would be beneficial to see those from within Tufin."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
"I feel that the user interface is a bit dated."
"The network part of the solution could be improved. It's too hard because of the Tufin licensing model for the routing devices."
"Their pricing can be better. It is not very transparent."
"I would like to see more about the cloud in the next release. They need a large plan to deploy the cloud into the solution and a way to implement it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a pay-as-you-go basis and we are billed monthly."
"It is a cost-efficient product."
"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."
"I suggest talking with Tufin about the flexibility of the pricing structure."
"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 are seeing ROI in terms of having SecureApp."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"Tufin reduced the time it takes to solve a problem, which reduces the time of the outage."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"The price of Tufin could be lower."
