Centralized firewall workflows have accelerated rule implementation and provide clear app visibility
AlgoSec can be improved by putting AppViz more at the center. Specifically, I suggest customizing AppViz more, including features such as input validation that is not available in AppViz but is in FireFlow, or the ability to copy the AppViz object to the policy. Thus, AppViz should be at the center of their operations, not just as an endpoint in the implementation logic. One area that AlgoSec could do better is in the pricing. For example, mobile providers have different plans, but their plans are not based on a per-license model, and they usually offer an unlimited option. Therefore, I would expect AlgoSec to have a maximum payment cap per client while allowing unrestricted use of its resources. Application context is extremely important to us. Going forward, I'd love to see AlgoSec leverage AI to enhance this even further—specifically by scanning our application documentation to automatically draft identified connections and perform risk evaluations per connection before an application owner even submits a request.

Good support, nice interface, and simple to upgrade
PDF format is not available for Alert Composer. There are file attachment or body content output options. The other issue is that the range object can be displayed in the rule viewer section. If we know the range object, we provide imaging, but if we do not know the range object, there is no imaging. It also allows adding range object rules when performing server cloning. In general, however, we have made successful progress since the POC process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can easily make our firewall flow change requests using the web interface."
"It is helping with the migration as we don’t carry over empty rules and allows consolidation of rules."
"AlgoSec has been an important part of our security operations because it brings structure, visibility, and control to what is traditionally a very complex area: firewall and network security policy management."
"It assists us in network security reviews and audits."
"AlgoSec makes it easier to implement flow-opening requests by our users."
"It has streamlined our processes for access and firewall management."
"I have seen a return on investment with AlgoSec, including money saved, time saved, and more efficient operations."
"The firewall analyzer is great if you deploy a new firewall platform and need to see if it provides an adequate level of protection, where you don't have any dangerous rules."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be a bit better."
"It needs better API integration with its third-party firewall management."
"However, I would like to give feedback about addressing zero-day vulnerabilities at an equal pace with the emerging AI-driven threats."
"The regulatory compliance rules."
"When initially installed, there were confusing moments as we encountered two bugs, requiring help from the support team."
"AlgoSec could be improved by extending their products for security because they are very focused at the moment."
"Currently, from my experience with AlgoSec, I believe it needs improvements, particularly with custom or open-source software integration."
"In terms of additional features in the next release, more integration with SD-WAN would be valuable."
"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is very easy to set up. The pricing is relative to how you want to expand and harden your network security."
"AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."
"Price is not my concern. If a tool does its job, it is not my concern to obtain a good price for it. If a tool is needed, we are going to buy it."
"I can’t say that this is a cheap system. It's affordable for large enterprises and, in some cases, for mid-sized companies. For the majority of other companies, this solution is out of their price range."
"For cloud environments, it can be expensive. The model adopted to use as licensing for the cloud environment should be reviewed since it sometimes can increase the value of the service/product in an unexpected way. For example, they should instead use the amount of instances, which should just take into consideration the number of Security Groups and ACLs."
"It will reduce your operations costs with improved team performance."
"The price is high but the support is extremely poor, so keep that in mind before choosing this product."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
