We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable.""The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users.""Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it.""AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group.""The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration.""It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."

Cons
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty.""Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward.""The system should be more customizable.""They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner""It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient.""This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."

More AWS Firewall Manager Cons →

"We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working.""There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera.""The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools.""The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall.""The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services."
