Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very good tool for load balancing.""It's very easy to deploy.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its flexibility.""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.""We were looking for a product that is capable of complete automation and a container based solution. It's working.""WAF is useful to track mitigation, inclusion, prevention, and the parametric firewall.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its open source."

"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously.""I like the fact that Tufin was able to integrate with our firewalls, which include Palo Alto and FortiGate.""Tufin has improved my organization with its configuration management. It has tremendously improved the operation's success and has made life easier.""You can easily scale the solution if you need to.""Being able to customize your own clarity to that aspect of change management.""The visibility is very good. We have managers who are overseeing it, and they are approving things through it.""The most valuable feature are role and objects usage for individual objects and app usage.""The reporting on offer is very good. Tufin makes nice reports."

Cons
"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time.""Its technical support could be better.""As far as scalability, it takes a long time for deployment.""The dashboard could provide a more comprehensive view of the status of the connections.""The price of NGINX App Protect could improve.""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 configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary.""Areas for improvement would be if NGINX could scan for vulnerabilities and learn and update the signatures of DoS attacks."

More NGINX App Protect Cons →

"I haven't seen the cloud integration yet, and I would like to see if we could audit the cloud firewalls, like the cloud-native, Azure, and Amazon. That would be nice. You want one tool to do everything. I don't want to use another tool, or manually go and audit the cloud firewalls.""The two main negative points with Tufin Orca are the absence of full support and that accommodation of files and tools is not provided in a good way.""I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility.""I think that the interface could be cleaner, and easier to use.""The product that we have deployed for our main process gets bogged down in terms of its response. Maybe, we need to deploy a slightly smaller box. Eventually, we need to discuss this with Tufin is to see if we can move over to some sort of VM environment where we can add more processing power to it.""I would like a better reporting feature and automatic alerting based upon rule changes.""More API integration with third-party platforms is something that we would definitely like to see in upcoming releases.""I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
