What I like most about AWS Firewall Manager is that it lets you centrally manage security policies across multiple AWS accounts and resources. Rather than configuring protections one by one, security teams can define policies once and then enforce them consistently across the organization.

This centralized policy management is the standout capability for me. For example, when onboarding new AWS accounts into AWS Organizations, Firewall Manager can automatically apply predefined WAF and other security policies without requiring manual setup each time. That helps keep security consistent and cuts down on administrative effort.

This is especially valuable in larger AWS environments where governance, oversight, and security standardization really matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Policy troubleshooting can be challenging at times, especially when multiple AWS security services are interacting. Figuring out why a resource is marked non-compliant often means reviewing AWS Config, WAF, Organizations, and Firewall Manager policies together to see how they overlap. This service delivers the most value in multi-account AWS environments, where centralized policy visibility and enforcement matter most. In smaller deployments, though, the initial setup and ongoing policy management overhead can feel unnecessary. Getting comfortable with policy inheritance and remediation actions also takes some familiarity with the broader set of AWS security services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
