Centralized firewall workflows have accelerated rule implementation and provide clear app visibility
AlgoSec can be improved by putting AppViz more at the center. Specifically, I suggest customizing AppViz more, including features such as input validation that is not available in AppViz but is in FireFlow, or the ability to copy the AppViz object to the policy. Thus, AppViz should be at the center of their operations, not just as an endpoint in the implementation logic. One area that AlgoSec could do better is in the pricing. For example, mobile providers have different plans, but their plans are not based on a per-license model, and they usually offer an unlimited option. Therefore, I would expect AlgoSec to have a maximum payment cap per client while allowing unrestricted use of its resources. Application context is extremely important to us. Going forward, I'd love to see AlgoSec leverage AI to enhance this even further—specifically by scanning our application documentation to automatically draft identified connections and perform risk evaluations per connection before an application owner even submits a request.

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

"AlgoSec has helped to simplify the job of our security auditors, making audits much faster because they can review ACLs in one tool, respond faster to requests, and manage all of our dispersed firewalls in a single pane of glass instead of using multiple tools like Cisco ASDM for day-to-day ACL management."
"AlgoSec has improved our organization by providing us with an appliance to assist with our daily Firewall duties."
"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."
"AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by significantly increasing the speed with which firewall requests are implemented, as we implement every firewall request in less than 24 hours."
"The most valuable is helping us determine where our rules are too permissive. Based on previous human review of our rules, they are very cursory. We know why we do something, but we don't get into the details of whether the rule is nice and tight. What Firewall Analyzer lets us do is understand the risks presented by our rules. The tool does a calculation of all the traffic that could be allowed and we can match that to whether it should be allowed."
"AlgoSec provided a much easier way to process FCRs and get visibility into traffic."
"After implementing AlgoSec, firewall change requests that previously took days of manual review were often completed within hours, and the automation significantly reduced configuration errors and time spent preparing compliance audit reports."
"​R&D patches to address issues that I have encountered have been timely and effective.​"
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
 

Cons

"The customization and fine-tuning of the policies could use improvement."
"​In the VMware platform, sometimes the application is frozen and we have to reload the machine​."
"We would like to see more features in the GUI so that we don't have to work with the API as extensively."
"It is currently unable to export the report to a CSV file, and I look forward to seeing it in the next version/release."
"AlgoSec could be improved with a more modern and intuitive user interface, especially for new users managing complex environments."
"The rating is not higher mainly due to performance delays and limited reporting customization in a large-scale deployment."
"Since COVID-19, a number of the technical support team members have been working from home or remotely. So, we haven't gotten support people right when we need them. Sometimes, it takes a couple of hours or even days for us to get that instant support that we used to get."
"The initial setup can be complex for beginners."
"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

"We have had quite a number of our prospective clients have come to us, and say, "Hey guys, we want AlgoSec," but one of their turn-offs has been the pricing. I would like it if AlgoSec would review their pricing and come down on it. The solution is quite amazing and versatile, so we would really appreciate it if the pricing could be reviewed for Nigeria because we definitely would get more sales if that happened."
"The price is within the standard of security products."
"The price is high but the support is extremely poor, so keep that in mind before choosing this product."
"I'm not involved in the financial aspect, but I understand the platform to be expensive, though I need to find out how it compares to competitors like Tufin, for example."
"When I have active and standby firewalls, if I do an analysis of the active firewall and by mistake, I also do an analysis of the secondary or standby firewall, it'll consume two licenses from the total number of licenses I have. So, I need to change the license and make the active firewall secondary. They need to improve how they are counting the number of licenses."
"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."
"Pricing is okay and the licensing can be a little tricky with the initial setup."
"The cost of the tool can be recovered with AlgoSec automations."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
