We were using Tufin before, as well, but it was not the same. It was separated into localized instances and regions.
We sort of saw that the volume of changes were coming in high. The patience from the business side was getting low to invest the time that it used to take to make firewall changes. Therefore, it was inevitable that we need to purchase a solution.

The switch to Tufin was done before I got to this company, but if I had to guess, I imagine somebody tried to jump out of the window or thought, "I'm going to go nuts if I have to look up one object in a pool of 30,000 and 8,000 rules." It's over 80 firewalls.

The driving force behind implementing this solution was to obtain reports that help us get to the heart of the matter, ultimately saving time.

The previous solution was written in-house.
We had a product called Skybox and whoever wrote the app would query Skybox for compliance, etc. Then, it would generate a spreadsheet, and we had to work off the spreadsheets. They sort of knew that this wasn't very efficient.

I have used auditing tools in the past, so I was already aware of Tufin. When I saw the processes in my company where I worked were manual, I recommended a solution, saying, "We need to expand the solution from our other company to here, as well. It will simplify our processes."

I have used CDO previously. Tufin is better than CDO. If you only have Cisco devices, Tufin isn't the better option. However, if you have a multi-vendor environment, Tufin is better than CDO. The limitation of CDO is that it can only be used with Cisco. However, CDO has a better user experience when processing applications than Tufin. Additionally, the network map of CDO looks more accurate to me than Tufin.

It was clear that no one was managing the shop floor network firewalls.
Right now, there are no tools to do that. As we are hardening and locking down firewalls, the requirement to maintain and manage them becomes increasingly more challenging.
I don't think there was any tool before Tufin. The rules were historically stored in CSM and operated out of CSM. Before that, there wasn't any other way to perform a regular analysis and maintenance of firewall rules in this way from a security and policy perspective.

William Temple
CyberSecurity Supervisor at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
The previous system that we used was something that was homegrown, just built in-house. It was only a ticketing system. Everything else was done manually. My employees would spend days just trying to figure out where the rules needed to be applied, and how the rules needed to be designed. It was a very long, manual process.

There were not enough resources to do the changes themselves. We definitely went offshoring. Now, you see a lot of that coming back because there is not enough people. We needed a system to do it.

We will be using Tufin to clean up our firewall rules, but we currently use AlgoSec.
Our previous solution was an end-of-life product, so we had to evaluate the options that were out there.

Ben Stern
Service Engineer at G2 Deployment Advisors
Clients typically choose Tufin for a feature that it supports which other solutions don't have: a certain firewall or perhaps provisionings on a certain firewall. Tufin tends to release new versions very quickly with changes that are high-value. Also, as mentioned, the SecureChange workflow solution is very flexible.

John_Ford
Managing Director at Midpoint Technology
We chose this solution a long time ago. We've been a partner for almost nine years. Because they spun off and many of the individuals who were part of the envelopment of products within the security space, like Ruby, came out of the Check Point environment. We're a very, very strong Check Point enterprise player, so we feel that anybody who understands product development and product distribution across large environments has to be a key for us.
We really weren't interested in products from other resellers, or we weren't interested in products from auditors. We were interested in products from people who knew how to develop products for the marketplace. So that's been a key for us. The other piece is the ability to scale, and then finally, the ability to automate with that scalability. We just don't find others as scalable as Tufin is.

I also have AlgoSec, and it seems to be much more complicated. I would say that Tufin is much more compatible with Check Point firewalls. That was the main reason for choosing Tufin over AlgoSec.

I've used Tufin, Firemon, AlgoSec, and all the other solutions at other companies before, and seen what we've been able to do with them. So, when I came to this company, it was just like, "Okay what's our tool? Oh, it's Tufin. What do you mean nobody's using it?"

We have worked with AlgoSec but in a restricted topology of the network. Both of these solutions are useful. It mainly comes down to the price. Even though Tufin is more costly, it has been more cost-effective for us, but it is not the same for all companies. It also depends on the integrator.

Shaun Slatton
Automation Engineer at Cox Communications
Prior to implementing this solution, the majority of our security engineering's time was spent working with these policy requests. It was a manual process where a requester would submit and Excel sheet, and the changes were being done from there. This was not leaving time for that team to work on projects and initiatives that were furthering or bettering the company. We started looking into Tufin as a way to automate some of that process and free up some of their time.

View full review »I used to have FireMon, and we changed it because of their features. The main feature that made us change was SecureChange, and like I said when you do changes now, assist with the change that you are going to make to see if there is impact to the other, so this is what gives us this feature, now you can assess and say, will it have a problem? That is why it helps with the changes.
