With this technology, we were able to handle different projects in a smaller amount of time. The time-to-market has been much better since we implemented this solution. We have more agility, take less time to implement, and are able to set up faster.

We have a centralized filtering capability because of Azure Firewall. So, our application teams don't need to take too much care of network filtering and network protection. It has helped a lot in reducing the management overhead for our application teams.

It has helped us a lot with compliance. Because of our local cybersecurity law needs, we need to have firewall filtering capability. Before Azure Firewall, we didn't have too many choices. For example, we only had ACL, but Azure Firewall is a real firewall. It can protect us from a lot of traffic. So, it is improving our security and bringing satisfaction to the security team.

From the viewpoint of our internal organization, it simplifies the work for our application teams. Because the Infra team has built a centralized shared firewall service, our application teams can have this kind of managed service from the Infra team. That's one of the benefits. It doesn't directly impact our customers or end-users outside our organizations, but it protects their personal data and information. It also improves their security level. So, overall, the end-users are getting served better.

One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components. The abundance of well-documented resources, extensive help features, and a wealth of examples further enhance the usability of Azure Firewall.

I would say that this solution is really good compared to other solutions that we have had before. We would have used the FortiGate firewall in the Azure space. 

We find this process was quicker. It would get a faster turnaround time once we would generate and modify the firewall rules. Because of the visibility, we would have seen it. When compared to FortiGate, it would get a bit more visibility in terms of integration with the security center so that we would be able to review based on overall posture, see what needs to be fixed, or what changes need to be made. 

The turnaround time turns off rules and any gaps that exist would increase the turnaround time for that as well. It would also help us to increase our response time and reduce our attack surface by 20% so far.

It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy.

It reduced work by 30%. It saved maintenance and operational costs by 15%.
