Room For Improvement

AlgoSec users seek improved integration, cloud compatibility, firewall support, user experience, support, documentation, policy management, and analytics.
Users desire improved scheduling, App-ID, integration features, streamlined updates, performance, configuration simplicity, cost-efficiency, and enhanced security in Panorama.
Tufin Orchestration Suite needs better integration, usability, and support, with enhanced flexibility for complex environments using diverse security tools.
AlgoSec should support in identifying most hit rules and re-ordering existing firewall rules - this is a very key to manage firewall CPU.
A cloud offering as a SaaS would relieve the burden of managing hardware, applying numerous patches, and monitoring the health state of the solution.
Establishing a quarterly or bi-annual certification process and automating aspects of the change process can enhance utilization and operational efficiency, pushing for automatic approvals where the risk is minimal.
In terms of operation, it is quite important that the staff managing the Panorama should be technically sound enough, and they should know exactly what they are doing.
The AI module should be on-premises, not in the cloud.
There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface (GUI), which is becoming outdated, especially the NAT section.
Issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic.
The analytics features of Tufin Orchestration Suite are challenging to use and require technical expertise, which is a concern as there is not much knowledge in this field in Thailand.
The design needs improvement, particularly in recognizing target devices and target files.

Palo Alto Networks Panorama is costly but valued for robust features; bulk discounts and virtual setups offer savings.

Estimated range of $50,000 to $100,000 for smaller deployments.
Pricing for AlgoSec is fairly competitive.
Virtual Panorama is well-priced and is sold every time there's a solution.
Commercially, compared to Fortinet, Palo Alto is more expensive.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is expensive but provides good value for money.
The pricing of Orchestration Suite is high, which is a point for improvement.

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.
