Hi @pepoga and welcome back,

Great question. You may find this document helpful as it explains a little more about what features are a part of each solution and how they differ: Licensing and Features

If you search either solution at Help.Sonatype.com, you can also find some great documentation that explains further.

@pepoga ,

This is an oversimplification, but you can think of Firewall as a bridge between Nexus Lifecycle and Nexus Repository Manager products. Firewall uses the vulnerability and policy data available in Lifecycle to quarantine vulnerable policy breaking open source artifacts that would otherwise propagate through Nexus RM proxies.

Firewall is the swimming lesson, Lifecycle is the life jacket.
