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

"Running AlgoSec helped us clean up years worth of obsolete rules and objects."
"We are in the process of implementing FireFlow in our daily operation, which will make our lives even easier. The idea is to search the Firewall Analyzer for the equipment between the source and destination, and then automatically jump off to FireFlow and open a ticket. This will then automatically implement what is needed without the need to go into the Firewall itself. This will save us a lot of time and will help us to onboard junior engineers very quickly, getting them up to speed on our network and daily operation in record time."
"Policy cleanup feature is really good for removing unused rules, etc."
"The solution is easy to navigate."
"AlgoSec has clearly increased productivity, cutting firewall changes and risk analysis time by almost 60% to 70%, as tasks that earlier took one to two hours are now completed in 10 to 15 minutes, resulting in a noticeable reduction in configuration errors and rework."
"The technical services personnel are very confident and provide good assistance​."
"After implementing AlgoSec, we have reduced firewall rule review time by around 40 to 50%, and cleanup activities have helped eliminate a significant number of unused rules, improving our security posture."
"The complete and end-to-end visibility and analysis it provides of the policy rule base is invaluable and saves countless time and effort."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"AlgoSec license usage is handled differently between firewall vendors. It may be a bit challenging to properly size the purchase of a new license - especially if a client is running multiple vendor firewalls in the environment."
"I would like to see an improvement to the technical support which is provided by AlgoSec."
"It should support IPS devices."
"The only complaint is about the license rekeying needed for when you need to change a firewall. That usually takes a bit of time."
"The Flash to HTML5 rewrite has been bumpy."
"The risk matrix implementation is not easy from an Excel file, so it would be nice to have a solution for creating it directly within the web interface."
"One area where AlgoSec could improve is the user interface and dashboard customization."
"I like the training available as it is very informative, but, I wish it was just available from YouTube and I could easily play it from my cell phone without additional logins."
"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is flexible with a low cost setup."
"Initially, it was more expensive, but we managed to negotiate the price. It's about average now."
"When it comes to the cost of support and licensing, it is much cheaper than other competing products."
"The price is high but the support is extremely poor, so keep that in mind before choosing this product."
"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."
"AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
"I propose to purchase licenses for all of the networking devices in the network, because if not all of the devices are integrated then the query of particular access cannot be discovered entirely."
"The solution has a high cost, but the reduction in operation pays the investment."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
