Featured Reviews

SAURABH JAMBHULKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers organizations to reduce change management time by 80% and improve audit efficiency
AlgoSec offers essential features such as risk management, policy optimization, change management, traffic simulation, and compliance auditing. Risk management is crucial for security, enabling deep analysis and threat prioritization, while traffic simulation allows interactive diagnostics for operational traffic management. Change management includes tools for monitoring policy changes and ensuring compliance with security standards, making these features significant for any organization. AlgoSec positively impacts my organization by reducing operation burden, enhancing time efficiency, and saving costs associated with security management. AlgoSec firewall analyzer helps with policy complexity by identifying unused or redundant rules and objects, recommending optimizations such as merging similar rules and removing unnecessary allows. Over time, firewalls can accumulate risky configurations, leading to increased overhead and troubleshooting time, but with AlgoSec, we simplify our rule sets, improve firewall performance, and facilitate faster change implementations.
Fulya ALGÜL - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"I think finding the firewall's rules with the highest risk is valuable."
"Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."
"This is something that increases business efficiency and helps avoid bottlenecks in our NOC team."
"AFA provides project teams with a simplified way to obtain the status on their current rule set."
"It enhanced the complete workflow system within six months of deployment."
"AlgoBot is a brilliantly, simple idea that lets us give our IT internal customers a way to check if rules are already in place before asking for more."
"We met our goal by gaining visibility and automating rule creation."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
 

Cons

"We needs object level permissions and application level recertifications."
"One improvement I see for AlgoSec is implementing an optimized rule cleanup and recertification process to address the challenge of companies neglecting clean-up recommendations."
"There is room for improvement in the rollback process."
"​Needs better technical support and quicker response times.​"
"Introducing greater flexibility in editing alerts would be a highly appreciated improvement."
"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."
"AlgoSec's audit management is not good enough and can be improved."
"We don't dare push the new policy automatically, We don't have confidence in this feature."
"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

"The pricing for this solution seems to be reasonable for the functionality."
"I compared the prices of AlgoSec with Tufin and FireMon. I don't recall the exact cost, but it was within budget and not very expensive. In addition to standard licensing fees, we didn't have any significant additional costs. We did hire new people for the change management process, but that's not a technology issue."
"The pricing for this solution is not cheap, but we get good value for what we pay."
"My advice is that you must do a POC and show value."
"Pricing is easy to grasp."
"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."
"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."
"AlgoSec is not a cheap product. If I compare Firemon and AlgoSec, because I am also Firemon certified, Firemon is still cheaper in price than AlgoSec."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
