Points out redundancies, increases visibility, and helps manage firewall rules
Pros and Cons
  • "Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."
  • "The simulation can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We needed to review unused rules and delete them. However, I also wanted to view my unused objects and NAT rules. Algosec met my needs. 

How has it helped my organization?


What is most valuable?

The product was able to present how many rules were redundant and how many shadow rules were in a gateway. Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization. Thus, my firewall rules were fewer, and fewer rules were checked when traffic passed through the firewall. In this way, it was possible for traffic to pass through the firewall faster.

What needs improvement?

The simulation can be improved. Networks and interfaces to which the firewall is connected are kept in a visual simulation. The rules could also show us the traffic on these networks in red and green. When we add a rule, we should be able to see what kind of traffic obstruction we can cause and what can be improved. In the next release, it would be fun to visually present the dashboard with animations.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Offers enhanced network visibility but has room for scalability improvements
Pros and Cons
  • "I think AlgoSec will impact my organization or my clients positively through visibility and security."

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for AlgoSec is that we are partners, so we are using AlgoSec for the customers as the service.

    What is most valuable?

    In my opinion, the best features AlgoSec offers are the network map and traffic uses.

    The network format and traffic uses stand out to me because of the visibility and the blocking and audit path within the organization.

    I think AlgoSec will impact my organization or my clients positively through visibility and security.

    What needs improvement?

    I would not add anything else about the features, nor is there another feature I'm looking forward to exploring as I start working with more clients.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using AlgoSec for a couple of months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    From what I know or expect, AlgoSec is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    In my opinion, AlgoSec's scalability is average.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not had any experience with their support team yet, so I cannot comment on the customer support so far.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    What was our ROI?

    I expect a return on investment from using AlgoSec, and I anticipate all benefits, as we are partners.

    What other advice do I have?

    My company has a business relationship with this vendor as we are partners.

    I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review.

    I do not have any advice to give to others looking into using AlgoSec.

    On a scale of 1-10, I rate AlgoSec a 7.
