Featured Reviews

Sikkander  Batcha - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at CloudIQ
Has managed traffic effectively but lacks visibility and advanced control features
Azure Firewall is typically behind other vendor firewalls because we don't see what kind of traffic is traveling through it. That is one drawback. The main drawback is that we need log support from Azure Firewall, which can be quite costly. There is no login feature in Azure Firewall because only the IAM feature is available in the Azure site; we manage it only through the Azure portal, not through any other portal. Other vendors, such as Palo Alto, provide GUI or CLI interfaces to manage their firewalls, whereas we only manage Azure Firewall through the Azure portal. In the future, I would like to see additional features in Azure Firewall Manager to make it more competitive, such as technologies like App-ID and User-ID that Palo Alto has. Azure Firewall currently only allows traffic based on layer four and sometimes layer seven, so they need to improve in those areas compared to other vendors.
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 tool's support is good."
"Azure Firewall Manager centralizes network security management with a hub and spoke architecture."
"I would definitely recommend the solution to my clients, especially if one is using Azure Cloud."
"Azure Firewall Manager centralizes network security management with a hub and spoke architecture."
"The most valuable feature is the web firewall, as it is easy to install and does not require any plugins for your browser."
"From a traffic management perspective, it's a good firewall because it's automatically scalable based on the traffic availability."
"It has helped us in multiple ways; for example, we don't require different spaces to manage it, we can do a lot of automation integrations into the code, we could integrate it into the DevOps pipeline, and it has helped us with our time-to-market for a very specific product when we are actually deploying or upgrading."
"The solution has improved our organization with its firewall."
"The number one benefit this solution provides is time savings, as both I and another engineer save hours upon hours of work spent creating reports, which Tufin now does for us, turning that reclaimed time into effort well spent on other things."
"Once you install Tufin, it performs a query and it searches all active policies, then places all the policies that you know in priority order, as far as which policies are being most used and which ones aren’t being used, and gives you something like a survey of things that were being used or any things that weren't being used."
"Tufin delivers on everything that we've asked them."
"The automation because it is saving a lot of work, time, and effort required to do all of our manual work. The change impact analysis is pretty good, and with the automation, it takes care of a lot of things which we would be doing manually."
"Before we'd have to manually go down rule bases three-thousand lines long, rule by rule finding the stuff that's missing, so it saves us a lot of time."
"Based on looking at some of the other products out there, Tufin is definitely the leader of the pack."
"This solution has helped us with compliance because we're able to map out certain firewall rules against compliance requirements, and we're able to write reports to show us exactly what our firewalls look like in those areas."
"Tufin provides insights through various reporting capabilities, providing a level of insight into change that didn't exist before and giving us the ability to validate changes against business needs while also allowing us to automate certain functions."
 

Cons

"The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"Microsoft was unable to fully solve the problem with email phishing and spamming."
"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."
"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."
"The configuration and settings require substantial time for learning, particularly for new users."
"Azure charges for many aspects including scaling, automated scaling deployment, and traffic management, which leads to higher costs."
"With Azure Firewall, the problem is that the NAT-ing still has to be improved."
"The configuration and settings require substantial time for learning, particularly for new users. Improvements in ease of configuration would benefit users significantly."
"It needs better reporting with more graphics and more pie charts, so management can understand details."
"It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration."
"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."
"The upgrade was a bit cumbersome because we had to do a complete reinstall."
"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."
"The GUI needs more visibility in terms of licensing because it is hard to tell which products and licensed and which are not."
"The ability to export the data outside of a PDF on some of the reports, I'm not sure that it can do that."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin; it is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
"The price of the solution is reasonable but it is reasonable for the features."
"This solution helps us reduce the time it takes us to make changes. We're probably saving time by 25%."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $100,000 USD yearly."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
