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.

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 Firewall Analyzer can detect misconfigurations and unused or permissive rules, as well as rules without logging. Through a single dashboard, I can see all the problematic rules from all the firewalls. It's very simple, with AlgoSec, to get an analysis of all the rules, and that helps with visibility."
"It lowers the burden of the security department."
"The AFA provides some good nifty features which ultimately yields better optimization of firewall policies."
"AlgSec is used for in-depth firewall analysis and intelligent policy tuning and optimization."
"AFA usage statistics have enabled our company to establish regularly scheduled recertifications of all firewall rules across all policies."
"It's a really simple tool with strong results."
"​The initial setup process is excellent."
"AlgoSec has significantly enhanced our troubleshooting capabilities. We can quickly pinpoint the causes of routing issues and conduct traffic simulations to identify potential problems."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
 

Cons

"Filtering in the reports Adjusting parameters for reports To be able to generate custom-made reports For example, it would be nice if you could define a report to show the unused objects for a specific timeframe."
"They need to improve the web interface to be a little more interactive and friendly."
"AlgoSec firewall analyzer is already an awesome product but there are still some areas that definitely need improving."
"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."
"AlgoSec is a robust and effective platform, though one primary challenge is the initial setup and onboarding process, which can be complex and time-consuming, especially in large or highly customized environments."
"The customization of dashboards should be simplified and more user-friendly."
"I think the product is too expensive."
"In a complex landscape, with several nodes/equipment, it can be somewhat more difficult to properly visualize the network map."
"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

"I compared the prices of AlgoSec with Tufin and FireMon. I don't recall the exact cost, but it was within budget and not very expensive. In addition to standard licensing fees, we didn't have any significant additional costs. We did hire new people for the change management process, but that's not a technology issue."
"Licensing is very easy to set up. The pricing is relative to how you want to expand and harden your network security."
"The pricing is good. Though, I would like if pricing could better support small businesses."
"The price came in where we really didn't even need to have much of a discussion. That was very good. There are also options regarding what you want to pay for. It wasn't really pushed on me that I have to get all of it or else I can't be an AlgoSec customer."
"The licensing is very easy to set up, with flexible licensing methods such as subscription and perpetual."
"We are working with our finance department right now to be able to purchase it. The AlgoSec team is doing everything that they can in their power to get the costs down to where our budget is. They have worked a lot on it. They have cut the cost in half for us so far by questioning, "This is in the quote. Is this something that is actually needed?" They have pulled some stuff out and cut our costs down by 50% for the product itself."
"AlgoSec is not much more expensive compared to other products available in the market."
"Initially, it was more expensive, but we managed to negotiate the price. It's about average now."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
