Estimating Azure Firewall capability.
How do you asses if Azure firewall is sufficient for your enterprise needs or if you should procure a 3rd party solution?
Hi, Azure Firewall provides inbound protection for non-HTTP/S protocols (for example, RDP, SSH, FTP), outbound network-level protection for all ports and protocols, and application-level protection for outbound HTTP/S. If you want to implement inbound protection of your web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities, then you can introduce Web Application Firewall (WAF).
Anushka1100 WAF is still part of the Azure built-in firewall.
What I was asking is when should an enterprise engage a 3rd party like Check Point, Palo Alto , CISCO ASA, Fortinet etc for firewall services?
