Automation has transformed firewall changes and has reduced audit effort and breach risk
The best features AlgoSec offers include automation of firewall rule changes, centralized security policy management, and improved compliance and audit readiness. AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to see faster change management, reduced audit costs, and reduced breach risk. I can share specific metrics indicating that through OpEx savings, we have been able to reduce firewall rule analysis and rule change handling time by 60 to 90 percent. This has led to fewer manual tasks and a smaller workload on our network and security teams. We have seen a return on investment with reduced audit costs, less time spent preparing evidence manually, and reduced breach risk. I would like to add that on centralized security policy management, it reduces complexity in multi-vendor environments.

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

"AlgoSec has greatly improved the time and resources spent on creating and deploying our firewall rules."
"It has reduced our audit preparation efforts and costs drastically and maintains continuous compliance."
"AlgoSec is allowing us to track the complete process of the change, have it fully documented and implemented much faster than it was before."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the unused rule optimization, where it clears the policy when appropriate."
"Saves time and labor cost in optimizing and operating our firewall system."
"So far, our capabilities mapped with AlgoSec has always achieved the best of results for our customers."
"AlgoSec is better than Skybox and Tufin; we have a lot of AlgoSec licenses and it offers the ability to do optimization and varied tasks, including diagrams about different pieces of equipment and control over external IPs so we can see the configuration and log that traffic to have control over the flow."
"Version upgrades can be done quickly."
"The platform is easy to deploy and maintain."
 

Cons

"Our experience with support has been inconsistent. Sometimes, support is fast and clean; other times, not so much. Occasionally, they have taken a while to respond or provided an inadequate workaround instead of a solution."
"I would like to seem improvements in performance and software stability."
"I would like to see more object-based reports on groups and object usage."
"Depending on your network topology, the traffic simulator might have some hard time tracing the traffic path between your devices correctly."
"All our firewalls were renamed, and AlgoSec saw these devices as new devices. As a result, all the reports from the same device but with the old hostname were no longer connected. AlgoSec did not clean up the old reports as well. After a few days, it depleted its own storage, and then, the server became inaccessible."
"In integrations, particularly integrations related to APIs, mainly in FireFlow, an improvement that could be excellent for AlgoSec would be integration with various ITSM tools, as today it is a bit complex to configure this, requiring a higher level of knowledge in order to integrate any ITSM platform with AlgoSec to automate ticket creation, which could be improved."
"It would be great if the product could be more simplified when defining the rules."
"The report takes time, and the virtual appliance is a resource consumer."
"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

"Pricing is great if you have a small number of large firewalls, otherwise, it does not bring ROI."
"Setup cost and pricing were reasonable and the licensing was straightforward."
"It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security.​"
"When I have active and standby firewalls, if I do an analysis of the active firewall and by mistake, I also do an analysis of the secondary or standby firewall, it'll consume two licenses from the total number of licenses I have. So, I need to change the license and make the active firewall secondary. They need to improve how they are counting the number of licenses."
"The pricing is flexible with a low cost setup."
"We are working with our finance department right now to be able to purchase it. The AlgoSec team is doing everything that they can in their power to get the costs down to where our budget is. They have worked a lot on it. They have cut the cost in half for us so far by questioning, "This is in the quote. Is this something that is actually needed?" They have pulled some stuff out and cut our costs down by 50% for the product itself."
"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."
"The initial cost was high for us."
"Opinnate is inexpensive than other products."
