"Good Solution for Multi-Account Security Management"
What do you like best about AWS Firewall Manager?

The best thing about AWS Firewall Manager is that it lets me control security rules for many AWS accounts at the same time from one single place. Before using it, I had to go into each account one by one and set up rules by hand. That was slow, easy to mess up, and very tiring. With Firewall Manager, I write the rule once and it goes everywhere. This alone saves me hours every week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Firewall Manager?

What I dislike about AWS Firewall Manager is that it can be hard to understand at first, especially for beginners. The setup process and policy configuration feel complex and not very user friendly, so it takes time to get comfortable with how everything fits together. When something doesn’t work as expected, it can also be difficult to troubleshoot and figure out where the issue is coming from.

Another downside is that the pricing isn’t very clear, and it can become expensive depending on usage. AWS Firewall Manager charges you per policy, per region, per account every month. If you have 10 accounts and 5 policies across 3 regions, the bill adds up fast, and that’s on top of what you already pay for WAF, Shield, or Security Groups. For smaller teams or companies, this can feel like paying a lot for something that’s already adding complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Tool for Managing Security Across Multiple AWS Accountsanagement Across Multiple AWS Accounts"
What do you like best about AWS Firewall Manager?

What I like best about AWS Firewall Manager is that it makes security management much easier across multiple AWS accounts. Instead of setting firewall rules one by one, I can create policies once and apply them everywhere. This saves a lot of time and reduces the chance of mistakes.It also works well with other AWS security services, so everything feels connected and easy to manage in one place. Another good thing is that it helps keep our systems compliant by automatically enforcing rules.Overall, it’s a very helpful tool for managing security at scale without too much manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Firewall Manager?

One thing I dislike about AWS Firewall Manager is that it can be a bit complex to set up at the beginning, especially if you are new to AWS. Understanding how it works with different services and accounts takes some time.

Also, troubleshooting issues is not always easy, as the error messages are not very clear. Sometimes it’s hard to find out why a rule is not working as expected.

Another downside is the cost, which can increase depending on how many resources and policies you use. For small teams, this might feel a bit expensive.

Overall, it’s powerful, but it has a learning curve and could be more userfriendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Security measures in AWS firewall manager"
What do you like best about AWS Firewall Manager?

While working with Amazon firewall manager I found three interesting and good to have services:

1. When we were working with multiple resources it helped us to maintain the account of those resources

2. By giving the unique tags to each resources it not only helped in maintaining the client level security but also added advantage to uniquely identify each resources

3. It also helps in automating the tidious tasks like tagging the resources automatically ( when it was specified from our end ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Firewall Manager?

As we know that it is the AWS so it would have been dealing with EC2 instance and this itself is a limitation as default limit per region - 20 which seems less when our team wanted to work with more regions ( multiple resources from different regions )

Though if you can work under this limitation then security wise it is the game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
