California Telecom SD-WAN Platform vs. Tufin Orchestration Suite

If you have business that spins up and down sites rapidly, SD-WAN is huge If you have a need for nearly instant circuit fail over, SD-WAN is also a big win If you have a need for advanced traffic steering as well

If there is any organization who is having more then 10-15 firewalls and from different vendors, Tufin Orchestration Suite can be best suited there as it can manage all the firewalls from one single pane of glass and push the policy, and get the Standard based compliance reports for the rules created on the firewalls.

Cal-Tel is more cost effective, reliable, and have a more proactive management.

1) Fairly okay overall but definitely needs improvement overall Vs the other products available in the market like Palo Alto XSOAR 2) Cost wise okay at the beginning but when client demands add-ons/ more features/customization tailored to their needs, Tufin Orchestration Suite recommends RFE / custom costs/development costs 3) USP feature is cool to use overall Vs FireMon 4) Tufin ProServ needs to buckle-up/Support compared to other competitors in the market

• Moving from Windstream system to CalTel cut gave us a monthly savings of $371K /yr for our phone and internet expenses.
• It also allowed us to be more proactive when a circuit has trouble and allowed us to have redundancy.
• Also allowed us to easily migrate our servers to a Data-Center and manage the traffic.

• Tufin has helped increase firewall migration time letting us build new policies instead of migrating garbage in
• Tufin helps to identify who changed what when so if a change impacts access Tufin can help find what change was made from a single location
• Tufin has a great reporting feature - except for Palo Alto right now - that helps to review and audit policy, flagging overly permissive and shadow or partially shadow policies.
