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."When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"We find it to be flexible. If we have a change that needs to be done, it will go ahead and do it for all our devices, regardless of the manufacturer that we have associated with it."
"We were hit by the NotPetya attack. Therefore, our whole company and all its sites were down for several months. So, you don't have an attack like that and not need something like Tufin. Other companies can prevent these attacks, or at least slow them down, by having this type of a tool. We will never go back."
"The consolidation of other firewall vendors is very valuable."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
"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."
"We have a better view of our compliance status."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"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."
"Skybox Security Suite can improve the change management module. It is the one part of the tool that is used with the firewall devices and you have a change management module that is used to record changes of all firewalls in the company. It's not compatible with all brands, this is where they can improve the solution."
"My worry with Tufin is that it cannot connect to Fortinet, which is what I want to do."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin. It is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow... Even though we are allocating 130 gigs of RAM, we still have to wait for a few minutes for a single report to be generated. Otherwise it would be a perfect tool."
"The biggest area where I see a need for improvement is some of the documentation and training stuff. It does a really good job of hitting the big concepts, but it needs like another layer deeper of actually getting into some of the details of how to do some of the things. Conceptually, I understand how the product works, but now how do I start building stuff and integrating it into my environment."
"At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement."
"We like the change impact analysis capabilities quite a bit. The only weakness is that the reporting is a bit clunky. We would like to have the reporting be better."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"The documentation site is horrible as well. It has a tree structure, and you really get lost quite easily."
"I would really like to see a new UI for SecureChange. SecureTrack 2.0 has quite an improvement in the UI and it flows more smoothly. The current SecureTrack and SecureChange are a little blocky, and sometimes loading a tab or a page is required to refresh information. Whereas in SecureTrack 2.0, they're starting to improve on that."
