Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks.""NGINX App Protect is stable.""It has the best documentation features.""WAF is useful to track mitigation, inclusion, prevention, and the parametric firewall.""It's very easy to deploy.""NGINX App Protect has complete control over the HTTP session.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is the reverse proxy.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its flexibility."

"It has allowed us to be more efficient in our processing of firewall requests.""This solution helps us ensure that security policy is followed across our entire hybrid network. You can have a Unified Security Policy which reaches across all networks, so if you are having a change submitted, it doesn't matter if you're enforcing it or not. You can get an alert saying, "This is a violation." That's a value-add.""We use this product to sharpen our change cycle. A request used to take quite a while as we did manual assessments. A lot of that is now done through SecureTrack.""This solution has helped our clients because it allows them to leverage the tools so that they can actually reduce their overall expenses for the environment.""I like the deployment and management of this solution.""One of the things that came up this week was the ability to decommission a server, which we thought was interesting. We had a workshop recently that talked about all the things that need to be thought about when managing firewalls. People said, "A lot of times, things get forgotten when you are decommissioning a server." E.g., making sure rules are taken away and taking out the rule set. The fact that there is an automated workload for that can be helpful.""The time that we require to makes changes has been reduced from weeks to days.""We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. It benefits us, because you can run a query for whatever your cleanup criteria is, e.g., "Has it been hit in 90 days?" It displays the list, then you can see the rules right there. If you want to get rid of it (or highlight it), then it creates a ticket that goes ahead and flags them all as disabled. While you can delete them, we always disable first. Then, we have a strip that comes back, and if it's been disabled for 90 days, then the system will remove them."

Cons
"NGINX App Protect could improve security.""They could provide a better user interface.""The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings as it can be quite confusing for users, making it an area where improvements are required.""Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI.""NGINX App Protect would be improved with integration with Shape and F5 WAF, which would make it easy for users to manage all their web application security with a single solution.""The integration of NGINX App Protect could improve.""I encountered issues with NGINX App Protect while trying to upgrade custom rules.""The setup of NGINX App Protect is complex. The full process took one week to complete. Additionally, we had to change the network infrastructure platform which took one month."

"I would like to see an improved reporting model that can be flexible for us to generate our own reports. The data's already there.""The change workflow process is flexible and customizable to some extent, but there is room for improvement. In some cases, we've found it difficult to get the exact thing which we were looking for. Then, we end up having to go and do the thing manually.""The policy browser has had trouble working. We have experienced bugs.""They are sort of at the pilot stage on some of their products. I saw the Orca and Iris products yesterday. My initial impression of these products were that they were good products, but I felt like some of their features overlapped with SecureTrack and SecureChange, which they are already doing. So, I just wondered what direction they're going in? I understand that they are cloud products, but are these security products going to overlap each other's features at some point? This is my initial concern.""There was some complexity during the initial setup""It would be great to add a link to Visio to create shapes directly from Tufin, as it has the configuration.""We found some bugs on the software, but we're working with tech support to fix them.""I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility."
