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."It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"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."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"Our engineers are spending less time on manual processes, specifically for the reporting functionality. For doing the rule cleanup and policy analysis, it would be a nightmare to do that manually. So, it is saving our engineering teams time from not having to do manual log reviews."
"A customer is able to submit a request for access and Tufin will automatically analyze the system to find out where the rule needs to go, and then design the rule for you."
"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions."
"The change workflow process is flexible and customizable. We have one guy who has never logged into Tufin ever in his life. He sits down and in 30 minutes had written an automation routine, then went back and changed it. He did that with no training. For me, that is a major benefit."
"Our engineers save quite a bit of time that was previously spent on manual processes."
"It is extremely scalable. It really addresses the scale of a company's firewall footprint."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies because it is so fast. A report about compliance and the clean-up process used to take about one month up before. With Tufin, it takes only one day."
"The automated reporting on a regular basis is helping us to be compliant with legal requirements."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The stability is something that is questionable. I don't know whether it is because of the kind of infrastructure we have or because of the product in itself. We're running it on a virtual machine right now. Maybe once a month, or once in every 45 days, it requires a restart because the application fails to connect. So I have to restart the whole Skybox Manager itself, the Skybox server itself, and then connect to it from our Skybox Manager."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"The GUI needs more visibility in terms of licensing because it is hard to tell which products and licensed and which are not."
"I would like to see better report integration in this solution."
"USP does not support VPNs, which is a big thing for us, so we haven't been able to utilize it."
"The initial setup was time consuming."
"We need to implement micro-segmentation in our infrastructure, and we are using Cisco ACI. However, we are facing an issue with Tufin, as it does not currently support integration with ACI for micro-segmentation, even though it is advertised as such."
"We will be using the appliance based product, which cannot be scaled as much. It is a limitation in the hardware."
"I would like to see more expansion into the cloud and documentation needs improvement. When I try to do something new in the product, the documentation is no help. Something's written there, but it's not enough to help you do what you want to do."
"One of the areas that I've had challenges with is making complicated reports."
