Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product can scale."
"The solution is suitable for all sized businesses."
"Our team has the option to make configuration changes at any given time."
"It's a reliable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the ability to manage our devices centrally. Additionally, we can monitor the workforce connections, receive reports, and use the backup feature."
"The management and the deployment features are most valuable. We can easily deploy and manage the devices. We can do fast deployments without moving from our office and by just providing a short description to the end-user about how to install the physical device."
"The installation process is very simple."
"It's helpful that the solution allows us to control all the firewalls from one device."
"There are a lot of benefits to using the reporting. It gives us duplicate objects, duplicate services, shadow firewall rules, and the firewall rules not needed for a given number of days or months."
"The reports that this solution provides are very useful."
"I like the fact that Tufin was able to integrate with our firewalls, which include Palo Alto and FortiGate."
"It provides very good reports. It can easily integrate with multiple firewalls, such as Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and Checkpoint. We can push a policy from Tufin to a firewall, which is a very good feature. We can monitor all access rules and the operating system of a firewall."
"The consolidation of other firewall vendors is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Tufin is rule analysis."
"It offers automation capabilities that are very helpful, especially for network security orchestration and applying policies."
"The visibility is very good. We have managers who are overseeing it, and they are approving things through it."
 

Cons

"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"The ability to add scheduled jobs would be a significant improvement. Panorama has the ability to push out OS updates, but it would be nice to be able to schedule those updates so not to affect the site during normal business hours."
"The product could offer more integration with other solutions."
"We have had some issues in the past because integrating a new device is not intuitive."
"It is not a cheap product."
"The product could use some method of allowing for more customization and open integration with other controls."
"The solution can improve by providing unique reports in relation to the function of which you choose the firewall to do."
"Customer support can improve."
"Lacks ability to create a Terraform that would enable deployment without manual steps."
"There was some complexity during the initial setup"
"The hardest piece is getting the matrix built."
"We actually had a key issue, which was a bug, that the development team didn't want to fix. We escalated it, then it got fixed. So, the management level seems very responsive at least, but at a support level, they are just regular support people and not outstanding."
"We were just talking to them about usage for the F5 platform. They will not be going after specific environments, but a more OpenAPI. They will have other companies write it, etc. It's a little different than I had expected."
"I don't get the full visibility. There are a lot of improvements which can be done in terms of visibility."
"Our initial setup was complex from two dimensions, because we were deploying it globally and had to have a centralized view, but a distributed approach. We had it in Asia and North America, causing a slightly complicated approach."
"There are at least two things that need improvement. One is the business workflow and the second is the integration with logging solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be lower."
"Sometimes the company prefers to give a license to test the product in our environment before we go to the customer. But the customer should buy his own license, and that's the system here. The system is different between one country and another. Some countries say that the IT solutions provider should provide the license."
"We're a reseller, and we're an MSSP. So, we get some extreme discounts."
"The solution is relatively cheap; I rate it four out of five for affordability."
"Although I don't have direct knowledge of the setup cost I believe it is mid-range."
"Pricing for Palo Alto Networks Panorama is always high. If you're going to sell the product, you always have to talk about the technology because it should be about the solution rather than the price."
"We have a yearly license. The cost is not that high and not that cheap either."
"The pricing is considered a little bit expensive, but depending on the client, it's worth it."
"We've seen a decrease of about 50 percent in the overall time it takes to complete a firewall change."
"It's not that expensive, except for Security Groups. For us, just the Security Groups were about half of the total price. The total was about €500,000 a year, of which €200,000 was for Security Groups."
"Our licensing costs are three million total and then we pay for maintenance, which is an additional cost for three years."
"The seller of Tufin, when I wanted the solution, was very flexible because the cost on the lease was very high in Latin America. So, he was able to reduce the cost."
"Tuffin is expensive, and we have to explain to our customers the benefit for them to purchase. If we explain the benefits in the correct way they do not mind the price. We typically do costing for the customer for three to five years. We make the general total cost of ownership at the beginning of a project for our customers."
"Tufin and AlgoSec were pretty much in the competitive price range, but this one provided us better integration into the Check Point environment."
"The price is on the cheaper side."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
