We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of AlgoSec is integration because it needs the be integrated with vendors' firewalls and other security products. AlgoSec has intelligent policy tuners.""I like the auto-mapping features and configuration overview. We use this for many things, but primarily for quick reactions to security events, audit, project management, and quick operational efficiencies.""With the solution, we can uncover bottlenecks, streamline, and clean up our firewall rules.""We need less time to identify any risks in our firewalls, as we can detect changes in real-time.""We are currently in a rule base performance improvement process and AlgoSec is an invaluable tool to accomplish this.""AlgoSec provides full visibility into the risk involved in firewall change requests as well. It definitely allows us to drill down to the level where we can see the actual policy rule that's affecting the risk ratings. If there are any changes in ratings, it'll show you exactly how to determine what's changed in the network that will affect it. It's been very clear and intuitive as far as that.""It improves audibility and security by having instant access to firewall configurations.""Reporting helps us with deliverables, areas of focus for improvement, and much more."

"Overall the solution does a good job.""I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited.""Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with.""Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively.""The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."

Cons
"I would like to see Bi-Directional API support in order to integrate with SOAR platforms that provide SOC automation and IRR.""AlgoSec's audit management is not good enough and can be improved.""The HA solution is not good.""Since COVID-19, a number of the technical support team members have been working from home or remotely. So, we haven't gotten support people right when we need them. Sometimes, it takes a couple of hours or even days for us to get that instant support that we used to get.""Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation.""It would be interesting if the product could automate the switch configuration and create a dynamic map of the entire network.""Fireflow needs to be a little more user-friendly.""The risk matrix implementation is not easy from an Excel file, so it would be nice to have a solution for creating it directly within the web interface."

More AlgoSec Cons →

"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that.""The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace.""ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario.""It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
