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

"Using AlgoSec has saved us a lot of time. Our consultant needs detailed reports about firewalls, which AlgoSec provides very efficiently."
"AlgoSec has positively impacted our organization by enhancing our ability to develop capabilities in this space, serving customers effectively, and improving their experience along with our security posture, visibility, and the capabilities of the product."
"I like the auto-mapping features and configuration overview. We use this for many things, but primarily for quick reactions to security events, audit, project management, and quick operational efficiencies."
"We are currently in a rule base performance improvement process and AlgoSec is an invaluable tool to accomplish this."
"I think AlgoSec will impact my organization or my clients positively through visibility and security."
"This has helped to restrict rules, delete rules that are too permissive, and create a configuration that complies with our security policy."
"It has helped to detect all unauthorized changes made on my firewalls."
"By leveraging BusinessFlow/FireFlow/ActiveChange we have been able to reduce the time from initial requirements gathering to implementation of complex firewall designs by approximately 80% without compromising our security posture."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"AlgoSec can be improved by simplifying the UI and reducing the learning curve, while a new user, faster reporting, more customizable dashboards, and clearer documentation specifically for advanced use cases would make it even more efficient for day-to-day operations."
"Automated policy push for the Fortinet product family. The Active Change/Automated Policy push feature is already there for all other leading devices such as Cisco, Check Point, Juniper, and Palo Alto, etc."
"Further integration with ACI and NSX will be key to our customers' requirements moving forward, as customers adopt new, innovative environments."
"Creating more intuitive menus could be helpful, especially for the first-time users."
"Depending on your network topology, the traffic simulator might have some hard time tracing the traffic path between your devices correctly."
"Due to the fact that AlgoSec's user interface is less friendly than that of other programs, it might not be appropriate for persons with little experience in security or IT."
"AlgoSec's audit management is not good enough and can be improved."
"Advanced analytics and reporting capabilities that provide deeper insights into network traffic, security policy effectiveness, compliance, and risk management can be beneficial."
"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

"Initially, it was more expensive, but we managed to negotiate the price. It's about average now."
"The pricing of AlgoSec is fair."
"AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
"Cost is based on firewall. There are bundles, e.g., virtual firewalls might make the solution cheaper."
"The cost of the tool can be recovered with AlgoSec automations."
"The pricing is good. Though, I would like if pricing could better support small businesses."
"Use the entire suite for its best benefits."
"It is worth spending the cost for visibility on security. Of course, security is not cheap."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
