Room For Improvement

Users desire improved scheduling, App-ID, integration features, streamlined updates, performance, configuration simplicity, cost-efficiency, and enhanced security in Panorama.
Tufin Orchestration Suite needs better integration, usability, and support, with enhanced flexibility for complex environments using diverse security tools.
In terms of operation, it is quite important that the staff managing the Panorama should be technically sound enough, and they should know exactly what they are doing.
The AI module should be on-premises, not in the cloud.
Naming the reports properly so that they can be easily identified would be an improvement.
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.
Issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic.
The design needs improvement, particularly in recognizing target devices and target files.

Featured Reviews

Hoa-Nguyen - PeerSpot reviewer
Implementation supports efficient network management but requires improvement in device handling capacity
The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic. If I want to manage my policy and optimize it, I find that ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer supports many vendors after Firewall. One aspect I want to improve in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is the maximum number of firewalls that can be managed. I learned from the internal support team that one prop server only supports three to five firewalls. I think one prop server can manage a maximum of five because if I have many devices here, the performance of the prop would be very high, considering CPU and RAM usage.
