We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"I can easily configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"In terms of the reporting, it's beautiful. It integrates with Azure monitoring and with Azure policies. That piece is a big help. You can set governing policies and you can use the application firewall, as well as the Azure Firewall, to enforce those policies."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"The solution helps identify threats and vulnerabilities."
"The product’s most valuable features are compliance, recommendations, and inventories."
"The product's stability is very high...The scalability of the product is amazing."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"An Azure firewall is not a real firewall."
"Currently, it only supports IP addresses, so you have to be specific about the IPs that are in your environment."
"The interface could be improved, it's not very user friendly."
"It is a cloud service, but the lending speed for each region is not always the same. For example, in China, the speed is slow. They need to think about how to make sure that the service pace or speed is always the same in all regions. It would be a great improvement if they can provide the same pace worldwide."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"Integration can be improved."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"The general support could be improved."
