What is Azure Firewall Manager?

Azure Firewall Manager provides central network security policy and route management for globally distributed, software-defined perimeters. It offers centralized configuration and management of multiple Azure Firewall instances, across Azure regions and subscriptions.

Central network security policy and route management for globally distributed, software-defined perimeters


Azure Firewall Manager is a security management service that provides central security policy and route management for cloud-based security perimeters. Firewall Manager can provide security management for two network architecture types.
  • Secured virtual hub: An Azure Virtual WAN Hub is a Microsoft-managed resource that lets users create hub and spoke architectures. When security and routing policies are associated with such a hub, it is referred to as a secured virtual hub. Secured Virtual Hub can be used as a Virtual WAN Hub for connectivity purposes and as such, all existing and future vWAN billing apply.
  • Hub virtual network: This is a standard Azure virtual network. The user creates the hub virtual network that contains the firewall, and peer the spoke virtual networks that contains workload servers and services.
  • In Azure Firewall Manager, the user can manage Azure DDoS Protection plans and Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) policies alongside Azure Firewall deployments. (Support for both Azure DDoS Protection and Azure WAF policies is in preview).

We use Azure firewall Manager to manage central security policies and route management. Most important is that this product provide and addresses the central security policies for deployment and management in our organization. This product is primarily used for platform security.
  • Anti -Spam and protection against phishing.
  • Endpoint Security.
  • DDOS Protection.
  • Only we can do one way NATING.
  • Initial setup was not easy.
  • Dashboard Need improvement.
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.

We have implemented the WAF in Azure to secure our internally developed Web Apps that are hosted in Azure. It has allowed us to provide access to users externally from our organization to our Azure apps without compromising security. Using the WAF allows us to funnel traffic into Azure whilst using Conditional Access in Azure AD with Enterprise Apps.

  • Setup is difficult.
  • Networking
WAF is great for apps hosted within Azure. It allows for great security as well as funneling traffic out through Azure rather than having to bring it back on-prem to your internal firewall to then go back out. Can really give too much of a reason for a situation where it doesn’t work as it has been used in one particular situation.

  • Externally hosted firewall.
  • No cost having on Orem appliance.
  • Cheaper as we only pay for what is use in Azure for it.
Well, both are similar, but they are different. We are using the app gateway along with the WAF load to balance the traffic to the web apps that we have hosted in Azure.

Managed multiple sites and their connections into Azure to link multiple regions. It solved the need for having multiple places to visit to setup / troubleshoot network and firewall issues. Gave us DDOS protection and the ability to implement web application firewalls. Gave one dashboard to view and controll all the network
  • Central Azure Firewall management
  • Automate traffic routing
  • Third Party support
  • Bulk IP address fails, requires you to split it up smaller
  • Firewall Rules dont always have good descriptions
  • No Traffic Splitting
Suited for deploys that are fully committed to moving everything into azure, works well for a cloud first approach. Gives an easy to use interface instead of having to learn multiple firewall cli languages Less suitable when you only have a small azure presence or are working with multiple different vpn endpoints

  • Reduced time required to manage multiple products
  • Increased network visability
  • Good logs for audits
Cloud based products so no need to run another virtual / physical appliance on site, good support via microsoft and with 3rd party plugin is easy to customize to your unique use case. Gives a very wide view of the whole network. No need to worry about updates / upgrading software versions.
