We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and Fortinet FortiGate Cloud 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."We now process FCRs much faster, which helps us to deliver faster and implement reworks at a quicker rate."
"AlgoSec has significantly enhanced our troubleshooting capabilities. We can quickly pinpoint the causes of routing issues and conduct traffic simulations to identify potential problems."
"The automation of the firewall rule deployment, working together with our ticketing system, is the most valuable feature of this solution. The needs as required by a user request are automatically validated and configured in the specified firewalls without any human action."
"The solution helps visualize and manage the hybrid network."
"It helps in regulatory compliance metrics and overall firewall security optimization."
"The Firewall Analyser feature is the most important and valuable part of this tool. This provides quick and simple visibility on the firewall's risk assessment."
"This has helped to restrict rules, delete rules that are too permissive, and create a configuration that complies with our security policy."
"The most valuable features for us are the functionality it provides for our two main use cases: planning firewall changes and traffic simulation queries."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has security features like DDoS protection and UTM."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the IPS, SSL Wireless, and VPN. Additionally, packet inspection and point-to-point VPN application control are useful."
"We use the solution as a firewall."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has valuable firewall, SSL VPN, and web filtering features."
"The hardware is reliable, and their support is excellent."
"The solution includes a very stable VPN and IPS."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the protection of internal and remote systems."
"It would be nice if it was more variable when checking virtual domain baseline in the same way as Fortigate's firewalls do."
"AlgoSec license usage is handled differently between firewall vendors. It may be a bit challenging to properly size the purchase of a new license - especially if a client is running multiple vendor firewalls in the environment."
"The process to replace a decommissioned device with a new device is not straightforward."
"I would rate the support as six or seven out of 10."
"The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors)."
"Some UI experience is a little clunky (for e.g. MAPS module) and could be made more user-friendly."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"Advanced analytics and reporting capabilities that provide deeper insights into network traffic, security policy effectiveness, compliance, and risk management can be beneficial."
"Reporting is an area that can be enhanced."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"The solution could improve by having a Russian interface."
"Fortinet should simplify the licensing model. It's too complex for decision-makers to choose from the range of options. Handling the pricing model is a nightmare, so it's difficult to sell the solution."
"GUI access could be improved. It should be simpler to access everything from the portal. Once we log in to the portal, we should be able to access all the Fortinet Cloud options."
"There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones."
"It is currently durable, but they may be able to improve it further. They can adapt Cisco technology because of its durability."
"The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now."
