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.

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 have seen a clear return on investment with AlgoSec, as firewall change reviews that used to take hours are now completed much faster, saving roughly forty to fifty percent of the team's time on manual checks and compliance tasks."
"FireFlow is great. In a company that gets a large volume of requests to open firewall rules, it's helpful to have one place that summarizes the requests, enabling you to clearly understand why they need to be implemented and also implement them. Firewall Analyzer can help you identify missing routing or check information on the firewall without the need to log into a firewall or router to check the routing. We have all that access in three clicks."
"AlgoSec has positively impacted our organization by improving firewall change management, leading to fewer mistakes, better visibility, and easier audits."
"The most valuable features are the network map, risk analysis, and tickets for firewall changes."
"With AlgoSec Security Management we have many advantages, as we have all of the information about the firewall devices that we have at risk, whether because there is a firewall policy with some open protocol that can give us security problems later or because long-unused rules present a security hole."
"AlgoSec gives us a high level of confidence that our ACLs and our risk components are actually in line with our expectations. Because we run a lot of our firewalls as an internal change control boundary, we rely on them heavily to segregate vendor networks. It gives us a high level of confidence that those third-party networks that ride on the backbone are segregated and appropriately defined."
"It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security, and it will reduce your operations costs with improved team performance."
"I think AlgoSec will impact my organization or my clients positively through visibility and security."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"When it comes to improvements or things that can be a bit frustrating, I think they really come down to the realities of deploying a massive enterprise platform rather than actual deficiencies in the software itself."
"I would like to suggest that cloud visibility feature is provided in the next release."
"Releasing hot fixes or patches is late compared to other security products."
"FireFlow was a bit tricky to configure with its customized flows."
"It doesn't support all features on our firewalls. For instance, planning changes, which include net rules, doesn't work. It didn't integrate so well with the ACI network."
"The versioning is a bit weird."
"During the early implementation phase, some stability issues were experienced."
"I would like to see continued expansion to other firewall versions, platforms, and vendors."
"The product's web page view is very basic. They could add new features to it."
"PDF format is not available for Alert Composer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a high cost, but the reduction in operation pays the investment."
"The cost of the tool can be recovered with AlgoSec automations."
"It will reduce your operations costs with improved team performance."
"We have had quite a number of our prospective clients have come to us, and say, "Hey guys, we want AlgoSec," but one of their turn-offs has been the pricing. I would like it if AlgoSec would review their pricing and come down on it. The solution is quite amazing and versatile, so we would really appreciate it if the pricing could be reviewed for Nigeria because we definitely would get more sales if that happened."
"Pricing is easy to grasp."
"The licensing scheme should be done in a simpler way. For example, if we delete a firewall and want to add a new one, then the license doesn't get freed up automatically. You have to request a new license to customer support and install it. If you are testing new implementations, this can be cumbersome."
"The initial cost was high for us."
"Setup cost and pricing were reasonable and the licensing was straightforward."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
