Tufin is great for reviewing firewall policy and changes, it makes tracking access down and auditing policy a breeze. We are replacing firewalls and Tufin has been a great help to review/audit/create new policies. We are finding that Tufin is lacking for use with Palo Alto. You can either work through Panorama and lose a lot of reporting or the firewall and lose the security policy. Tufin has stated they are working on this but it is the biggest issue we are facing.

Expensive though comparatively lately these devices have stayed fairly consistent while other vendors have increased greatly and are catching up.
Support is limited, though this can be an advantage because of the security.

Tufin and AlgoSec both provide a lot of the same features. I would say the choice of the two depend on your overall objective and use case. Both tools have features to accomplish different things. For firewall policy review, they are about the same in my opinion. We are currently evaluating RedSeal and don't have enough data to compare. RedSeal may lack some of the change features but appears to give the same level of reporting functionality.

Patching is limited due to the strength of the code releases also time for maintenance is extremely limited

I think if you correctly configure your SIEM, you don't need Tufin. You can correlate a lot of things for firewalls.
