Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Anti -Spam and protection against phishing.
Endpoint Security.
DDOS Protection.

Cons

Only we can do one way NATING.
Initial setup was not easy.
Dashboard Need improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Security
Firewall
Traffic

Cons

Functionality
Setup is difficult.
Networking

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Pros

Central Azure Firewall management
Automate traffic routing
Third Party support

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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
