While working with Amazon firewall manager I found three interesting and good to have services:

1. When we were working with multiple resources it helped us to maintain the account of those resources

2. By giving the unique tags to each resources it not only helped in maintaining the client level security but also added advantage to uniquely identify each resources

3. It also helps in automating the tidious tasks like tagging the resources automatically ( when it was specified from our end ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we know that it is the AWS so it would have been dealing with EC2 instance and this itself is a limitation as default limit per region - 20 which seems less when our team wanted to work with more regions ( multiple resources from different regions )

Though if you can work under this limitation then security wise it is the game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
