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

"Implementing firewall rules within our organization has been significantly expedited thanks to AlgoSec."
"Algosec AFA is useful for policy optimization and clean-up and can measure capacity management."
"Through OpEx savings, we have been able to reduce firewall rule analysis and rule change handling time by 60 to 90 percent, leading to fewer manual tasks and a smaller workload on our network and security teams."
"The most valuable feature of AlgoSec is its ability to generate comprehensive reports. As a firewall analyzer, it's very useful for reviewing and collecting information at a single point. The tool also helps generate reports automatically, which is beneficial for us."
"AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by improving our security posture and reducing risks associated with firewall rules while speeding up change management, all through automation."
"Algosec is a game changer for our environment due to core functionality provided by Firewall Analyser."
"The most valuable feature is that the tool is capable of simplifying firewall management and configuration in an automated fashion."
"We have seen a great return on investment with this solution because our process has been simplified and is smoother than the previous one, and we are getting good visibility with a compliance-ready environment."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"When initially installed, there were confusing moments as we encountered two bugs, requiring help from the support team."
"AlgoSec is a strong tool, but there are a few areas for improvement."
"Ability to manage more diversity of equipment, as well as simplify the management of the various workflows."
"The reporting features need to be improved."
"The process to replace a decommissioned device with a new device is not straightforward."
"The reports are lacking information when they come out. They will not pull the URL or application information from Cisco FTDs. I know this works for Palo Alto Firewalls, which we currently do not have. If they could improve the integration with Cisco FTDs as a whole, that would be immensely helpful."
"The Flash to HTML5 rewrite has been bumpy."
"AlgoSec could be improved with a more modern and intuitive user interface, especially for new users."
"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 personally feel that the cost is quite expensive. AlgoSec is charging for each function, e.g., Active change, Application ABF license, etc."
"Use the entire suite for its best benefits."
"For cloud environments, it can be expensive. The model adopted to use as licensing for the cloud environment should be reviewed since it sometimes can increase the value of the service/product in an unexpected way. For example, they should instead use the amount of instances, which should just take into consideration the number of Security Groups and ACLs."
"Pricing is great if you have a small number of large firewalls, otherwise, it does not bring ROI."
"The pricing of AlgoSec is fair."
"The pricing could be better."
"It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security.​"
"Quality has a price."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
