We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"AlgoSec has significantly enhanced our troubleshooting capabilities. We can quickly pinpoint the causes of routing issues and conduct traffic simulations to identify potential problems.""It also provides very good visibility into the risk involved in firewall change requests and that is very important to us.""ABF is a wonderful module where you can keep the footprint for your firewall rules up-to-date, like CMDB.""It is helpful in improving the security and compliance of our environment. We can optimize our environment by improving the rules that are not used or are duplicated. FireFlow is useful in creating and implementing new rules. It allows us to automate rules implementation and have more control over the rules.""Traffic Analyzer provided the centralized view for our IT SOC operations to focus mainly on high-risk firewall rules exposing with explicit any rules.""We now have baseline and rules checking.""AlgoSec has improved our organization in terms of improving efficiency within our firewall setup. It has added automation to working process that has helped us achieve our initial goal of reacting faster to incoming requests, which as a result of allows the relevant teams time to focus on other areas of importance.""It provides faster go to market with fewer resources."

Cons
"The user interface could be a little more user-friendly.""The product should support more vendors with the same in-depth analysis that it already is providing. This would give more reasons to for other companies to adopt it.""We would like to see them utilize the cloud to help with performance improvement, and with various processes needed on a daily basis.""In terms of additional features in the next release, more integration with SD-WAN would be valuable.""The pricing for smaller installations should be lowered because sometimes there is just no ROI to add AlgoSec to the small branch offices with only 10 rules.""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.​""We would like to have a kind of "Time Capsule" to be able to restore to a certain state from a backup.""I would say that the cases opened with AlgoSec could be solved faster or escalated sooner to the senior engineers/2nd or 3rd tier."

More AlgoSec Cons →

"The tool's security features need to improve. It needs also to include a monitoring system for logs. It is also complicated to find a query on the Azure firewall.""There should be a simple one-click deployment for a firewall, rather than a set of setup instructions that include steps such as the DNS configuration, et cetera.""The solution can improve the integration with open-source tools.""The price is okay. This said, the solution is certainly expensive in comparison with other cloud services.""We could do only one-way NAT-ing, where the traffic comes from outside to internal, to Azure, which is fine. However, when we actually do NAT-ed traffic to hit the firewall, that way is not working."
