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

"This is something that increases business efficiency and helps avoid bottlenecks in our NOC team."
"We have all of the information about the firewall devices that we have at risk, either because there is a firewall policy with some open protocol that can give us security problems later, or because long-unused rules present a security hole."
"FireFlow continues to drive customer efficiencies, allowing an organisation to keep up with the pace of change."
"We have not seen many faults reported from our customers."
"It improves audibility and security by having instant access to firewall configurations."
"To be able to monitor all firewalls under one umbrella."
"I rate the scalability at nine out of ten, demonstrating a robust ability to expand and cater to large enterprises."
"ABF is application-centric. which helps to track changes in the application from day one."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"There are sometimes issues with the Risky Rules reports where the number of hits is registering zero, but we know that this is incorrect because we have checked the rules and see that they are indeed registering traffic."
"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."
"It would be interesting if the product could automate the switch configuration and create a dynamic map of the entire network."
"Initially, we found this as a complex deployment."
"There could be certain improvements such as supporting secure email."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding additional tools for troubleshooting, not only for the firewall, but for other devices like switch and dynamic routing display. Also, it would be good if it could retrieve all information regarding Cisco Nexus switches and devices.​"
"Fireflow needs to be a little more user-friendly."
"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 pricing could be better."
"Use the entire suite for its best benefits."
"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 pricing is flexible with a low cost setup."
"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."
"The pricing is good. Though, I would like if pricing could better support small businesses."
"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."
"I can’t say that this is a cheap system. It's affordable for large enterprises and, in some cases, for mid-sized companies. For the majority of other companies, this solution is out of their price range."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
