We performed a comparison between Skybox Security Suite and Tufin Orchestration Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"Change Manager is most important because of the impact on each other of a network change or a firewall change. We want to understand this and to know, beforehand, what the impact of a change will be. We are a large network so that is a very important tool."
"I like the policy topology map, which allows us to visualize the picture of the security policy of the whole organization."
"We are able to discover firewall rules that are too broad and widen the security footprint."
"We've scaled it to hundreds of firewalls."
"The automated reporting on a regular basis is helping us to be compliant with legal requirements."
"The Automatic Policy Generator saves time because we are able to identify the required policy when a client doesn't know what he needs."
"The filtering of lots of criteria is very valuable."
"The change workflow process is very easy to customize. You can do a workflow however you want, so you can have an approval every single step. Or, you can remove approvals on certain steps, automating some steps."
"The solution helps us meet our compliance needs."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"The price could be cheaper."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to assign a step in the workflow to a specific user at a specific time, based on how the previous steps of the workflow have been handled."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."
"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."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"There are things that could be explained a little better for somebody brand new to this system, which could be helpful, especially if it was in real-time while you were working in the system. Having the ability in real-time to be able to understand search query suggestions would be helpful."
"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."
