We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (FortiGate CNF) 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."The Compliance module is one of the best features which can help anyone to perform security review with predefined security matrix configurations. The compliance module can save a lot of time for security reviews and provide full visibility of the risk required in firewall change requests."
"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to deploy new rules in all of the firewalls included in the environment at one time."
"We met our goal by gaining visibility and automating rule creation."
"It has reduced our audit preparation efforts and costs drastically and maintains continuous compliance."
"We use it for global firewall rules management to ensure global policies are applied to all regional firewalls, provide auditing and compliance."
"One of the features that I like about AlgoSec is the topology table. It helps us understand where the traffic flows through, where it gets interconnected, and how the traffic flows from our device to the other device."
"Audit-ready reporting is an awesome feature."
"ATP ( Advanced Threat Protection) next-generation firewall is the most valuable feature."
"The focus is on the comprehensive coverage of threats and the reliability of the chosen solution. Ease of use and familiarity are crucial."
"The solution is very advanced and has good monitoring features."
"Unlike other products, the FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall has many features under one appliance."
"The platform has good stability."
"The solution can scale well."
"The tool's documentation and online resources availability have been valuable."
"The only problem I have with AlgoSec is just its level of support, not with the product. Not with the organization or the documentation or anything else, but if I need any additional support, the only problem is the time it takes to get it."
"It seems that AlgoSec created a VSYS (Virtual system) for each virtual router name, even though our firewall has only a single VSYS."
"The GUI has not been upgraded for a long time and could use updating."
"The Flash to HTML5 rewrite has been bumpy."
"It gives you the capability to make changes to hundreds of your firewalls at the same time, but big enterprises have change management policies. Change managers will never allow you to make changes to more than 10 devices at the same time, which is a feature in AlgoSec. Because, what if something goes wrong, then you have to roll back and figure out what caused the impact, e.g., which firewall did not work well. Doing that post-mortem becomes a difficult thing. So, change automation on a firewall is actually defeating the purpose of the change management policies in any organization. If you run a bank, you will not allow anyone to make changes at the same time from a single click for 10 firewalls. The bank will never allow this."
"Algosec does not support vendors like Sophos, SonicWall, Forecepoint, and so on."
"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."
"I like the training available as it is very informative, but, I wish it was just available from YouTube and I could easily play it from my cell phone without additional logins."
"I'd like them to add a DNS option for FortiGate."
"The solution is not stable in terms of switching."
"They should offer more affordable renewal options or flexible plans for license upgrades."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"The product is very expensive."
"There could be more detailed descriptions regarding version upgrades, particularly in terms of the upgrade process."
"The solution needs to improve on box clustering and IPS configuration."
