"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions.""The most valuable feature is alerting, which lets me know when someone has made a change.""We find it to be flexible. If we have a change that needs to be done, it will go ahead and do it for all our devices, regardless of the manufacturer that we have associated with it.""I don't think that we were ever slow, but we can now say that changes are completed within twenty-four hours.""This has helped us to better clean up and audit changes to the firewall policy.""It's hard to pick the most valuable feature. All of them are valuable, they're all critical for us... ChangeTrack obviously has a lot of very good features, like the risk analysis, the USP, and the Policy Browser.""Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize.""The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."

Cons
"The performance of the Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center could be improved.""The interface is an area that could be improved.""Areas for improvement include pricing points and the range of products available at any given time.""Cisco Firepower has been effective in solving various problems, but it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly like Fortinet.""The solution should improve the user interface.""Cisco firewalls use old ESR or a Linux system, and there are problems with encryption. When we switch on encryption, the throughput goes down.""Improving the product by incorporating SD-WAN functionality would be highly beneficial, especially for remote offices with limited server and Internet availability.""The IOS and the deploy option could be improved."

More Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Cons →

"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin.""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.""At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement.""I would like the ability to export information in other formats including PDF, HTML, or Excel.""I feel that the user interface is a bit dated.""We would like Tufin to have interoperability with Juniper products, along with official support.""We want to have the ability for a ticket requester to add somebody, or to give somebody view rights to their ticket.""Their pricing can be better. It is not very transparent."
