Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, FireMon and others in Firewall Security Management.
I have witnessed a return on investment with AlgoSec by reducing the manual efforts involved in policy reviews and enabling faster operations, ultimately enhancing our security posture.
We have seen a return on investment with reduced audit costs, less time spent preparing evidence manually, and reduced breach risk.
It also helps to simulate the traffic query to see where the traffic is blocked and automates policy creation, saving a significant amount of time, approximately eighty percent.
After implementing FireMon Security Manager, policy risk reports, compliance reports, and anomalies are generated automatically, which reduces audit preparation down to 15 to 18 hours per cycle, saving about 40 to 50% of time just on audit-related efforts.
It significantly reduced the time spent on manual firewall policy review and audit preparation.
The Orchestration Suite saves time when implementing rules.
There is a dedicated engineer program that provides consistent support.
AlgoSec's customer support is highly responsive and specialized for security operation teams managing complex environments.
The customer support is very great, with dedicated 24/7 assistance.
An eight signifies they are doing a good job.
The customer support for FireMon Security Manager has been outstanding in our experience.
The technical support is good, but sometimes it takes some time.
The technical support for ManageEngine is very good
The support team is effective; they connect to the network quickly and help resolve any issues that arise.
The team is eager to help in fixing issues.
In recent years, they have stopped providing specialized engineering support.
I rate the scalability at nine out of ten, demonstrating a robust ability to expand and cater to large enterprises.
Managing varying device numbers based on requirements, from small setups of about 20 devices to large enterprises supporting over 1,000.
It grows with our organization's needs and can handle large data sets of our organization.
If it can see and interpret everything correctly, it would do exactly what I want, and it would be very helpful.
It offers extensive scalability options, providing more flexibility than other vendors.
As the environment grew, FireMon Security Manager continued to handle policy analysis, reporting, and change tracking reliably without performance issues.
When someone changes the configuration or running config in the network conflict manager, it sends alerts to my email.
AlgoSec is generally stable, though I have heard about some glitches or latency issues.
We have not experienced any major crashes, data losses, or serious outages.
If we have many devices added or if the firewall complexity is huge, we might experience some lag in processing.
AlgoSec should support in identifying most hit rules and re-ordering existing firewall rules - this is a very key to manage firewall CPU.
A cloud offering as a SaaS would relieve the burden of managing hardware, applying numerous patches, and monitoring the health state of the solution.
Establishing a quarterly or bi-annual certification process and automating aspects of the change process can enhance utilization and operational efficiency, pushing for automatic approvals where the risk is minimal.
FireMon can see everything much better and provides me with a fuller report when using Meraki as a firewall system.
Simplifying some workflows and dashboards would help teams get value more quickly, especially in large environments.
A basic understanding of cloud computing and firewall principles is necessary for successful implementation.
Issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic.
The analytics features of Tufin Orchestration Suite are challenging to use and require technical expertise, which is a concern as there is not much knowledge in this field in Thailand.
The design needs improvement, particularly in recognizing target devices and target files.
Estimated range of $50,000 to $100,000 for smaller deployments.
It is cost-effective.
Pricing for AlgoSec is fairly competitive.
Comparatively, FireMon has a very good price and is below the general competition in cost.
Compared to others, it is not so expensive.
Our experience with FireMon Security Manager's pricing and licensing is that it is on the higher side, but justified for a large, regulated environment.
The pricing of Orchestration Suite is high, which is a point for improvement.
FireMon and Skybox are considered more cost-effective.
Tufin and AlgoSec are at the same level in terms of pricing.
Over time, firewalls can accumulate risky configurations, leading to increased overhead and troubleshooting time, but with AlgoSec, we simplify our rule sets, improve firewall performance, and facilitate faster change implementations.
Through OpEx savings, we have been able to reduce firewall rule analysis and rule change handling time by 60 to 90 percent.
AlgoSec also provides firewall policy overview and optimization by rule with reordering and suggestions to delete unused rules, network map overview, and implementation of topology changes based on source, destination, and port.
By eliminating loopholes between policies, it simplifies review and analysis, while also automating policy changes and supporting multiple vendors.
It provides a single view across all firewalls, helps quickly identify risks and unused rules, and generates audit-ready reports, which is extremely useful in large, regulated environments.
The risk and rule analysis feature highlights risky, unused, shadow, duplicate, and overly permissive rules automatically, saving huge time on manual audits and helping reduce the attack surface.
The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic.
AlgoSec adds more value with its vulnerability control, which benefits organizations by reducing expenses associated with audits.
New employees can quickly grasp the various IPs, devices, and the network's logical and physical layout within a short period.
It offers automation capabilities that are very helpful, especially for network security orchestration and applying policies.
