We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and AWS Firewall Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It saves time by allowing administrators to test network traffic and pinpoint which rules are being triggered for a particular traffic flow."
"AlgoSec has helped us save time by having one central location to view firewall policies, especially when crossing multiple vendors."
"The initial setup process is excellent."
"We can easily make our firewall flow change requests using the web interface."
"Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."
"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."
"It has reduced the workload for the firewall team thanks to the API integration with our ticketing system, handling the standard types of requests automatically."
"I found that for policy optimization it does a great job."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"There is huge scope for improvement in the level of support, especially around the issue of resolution time. That is the only negative point I find in the solution."
"Further integration with ACI and NSX will be key to our customers' requirements moving forward, as customers adopt new, innovative environments."
"The risk matrix implementation is not easy from an Excel file, so it would be nice to have a solution for creating it directly within the web interface."
"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 MAP has a persistent issue with a firewall that is using a double BVI (Bridge virtual interface)."
"In terms of integrations, we would like to see a greater number with the upcoming and next-generation tools (i.e. SOAR and a selection of other SIEMs)."
"There is room for improvement in the rollback process."
"Creating more intuitive menus could be helpful, especially for first-time users."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"The system should be more customizable."
