Azure Firewall Manager vs. Skybox Security

Azure Firewall manager is best suited where you have multiple firewalls, and we can manage it centrally in one dashboard. Less appropriate for small companies as it is a bit expensive.

For any customer that has a complex network environment spanning globally, skybox helps manage firewall policy compliance for many vendors quite easy. It has a variety of security and network vendors that it is compatible with in its database.

• Skybox manages compliance for firewalls better than we have seen with other tools.
• Skybox integrates into standard change management tools so change control can flow through Skybox and assist with all decisions to implement a change.
• The Skybox network map is more detailed than other management tools showing us paths other tools didn't find.

• Bulk IP address fails, requires you to split it up smaller
• Firewall Rules dont always have good descriptions
• No Traffic Splitting

• User experience. On the first approach, it's not the simplest tool that I have ever used.
• Web-based console. In my honest opinion it's very important [to have] this type of functionality to extend the use of Skybox.
• Too many updates of the product.

It is user friendly and quite easy to use. It centralizes all info in one portal and generates good reports to help you visualize and assess your change management decision

The support team needs to be improved especially in their response and awareness about recent bugs in their solution. For example, sometimes they are not aware about how to integrate specific vendors like Microsoft Azure and they still don't have answers to it until now.

We Selected Azure Firewall Manager because of its reliable service and Security, which they provide across our network architecture.
