Automation has transformed firewall changes and has reduced audit effort and breach risk

The best features AlgoSec offers include automation of firewall rule changes, centralized security policy management, and improved compliance and audit readiness. AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to see faster change management, reduced audit costs, and reduced breach risk. I can share specific metrics indicating that through OpEx savings, we have been able to reduce firewall rule analysis and rule change handling time by 60 to 90 percent. This has led to fewer manual tasks and a smaller workload on our network and security teams. We have seen a return on investment with reduced audit costs, less time spent preparing evidence manually, and reduced breach risk. I would like to add that on centralized security policy management, it reduces complexity in multi-vendor environments.

Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade

PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"If you go through that compliance report, it will give you whether your firewall is in compliance or not. It will also give you a recommendation whether you need to change it. The compliance has helped us with customers, e.g., internal audit from the quality team and external auditors."

"It saves time by allowing administrators to test network traffic and pinpoint which rules are being triggered for a particular traffic flow."

"It provides faster go to market with fewer resources."

"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."

"The most valuable features are the FW report, traffic simulation, and the FireFlow system to help manage requests."

"One of the quick wins is to view our device status easily, with out-of-the-box dashboards and charts."

"AlgoSec AFA and AFF automate lots of things for my organization."

"The Compliance module is one of the best features which can help anyone to perform security review with predefined security matrix configurations. The compliance module can save a lot of time for security reviews and provide full visibility of the risk required in firewall change requests."

More AlgoSec pros

"Version upgrades can be done quickly."

"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."

Cons

"I would rate the support as six or seven out of 10."

"We are running multiple hybrid cloud solutions, working with cloud providers, and looking for API integrations with cloud and related interoperability. Sometimes, when we are trying to delete or disable any rule, it takes more time than expected."

"Algosec does not support vendors like Sophos, SonicWall, Forecepoint, and so on."

"The blacklisting and whitelisting of IP addresses should be improved. There are many false positives."

"The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors)."

"AlgoSec could be improved by their support not being available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, which is a concern, especially when working remotely and needing support in different countries."

"Default standard support at Level 1 is to answer by upgrading to the latest released version, if you are not using it yet."

"Be able to automatically analyze application traffic with machine learning capabilities and propose simplification for rule set optimization."

More AlgoSec cons

"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."

"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing scheme should be done in a simpler way. For example, if we delete a firewall and want to add a new one, then the license doesn't get freed up automatically. You have to request a new license to customer support and install it. If you are testing new implementations, this can be cumbersome."

"Cost is based on firewall. There are bundles, e.g., virtual firewalls might make the solution cheaper."

"The pricing is flexible with a low cost setup."

"Quality has a price."

"The price is high but the support is extremely poor, so keep that in mind before choosing this product."

"The licensing is very easy to set up, with flexible licensing methods such as subscription and perpetual."

"Setup cost and pricing were reasonable and the licensing was straightforward."

"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."

"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
