Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Breaking down a rule to specify used objects within groups and protocols has proven invaluable for us because we are able to narrow exposure to potential threats, and more generally, areas in which we are exposed.""Setup is easy. ​Just run the script and all seems fine.""With the AlgoSec firewall analyzer, it now takes us half the time to deploy firewall changes and policy optimization.""If you go through that compliance report, it will give you whether your firewall is in compliance or not. It will also give you a recommendation whether you need to change it. The compliance has helped us with customers, e.g., internal audit from the quality team and external auditors.""AlgoSec has reduced the need for additional manpower and we can now use the time to tackle other security-related issues.""ABF is application-centric. which helps to track changes in the application from day one.""AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer can detect misconfigurations and unused or permissive rules, as well as rules without logging. Through a single dashboard, I can see all the problematic rules from all the firewalls. It's very simple, with AlgoSec, to get an analysis of all the rules, and that helps with visibility.""It gives us 100% visibility into our network security policies. It has given us a couple of surprises. Over the years, the network that we are administrating has been subject to people who have an idea of how a network should be set up. That differs from technician to technician or engineer to engineer. So, we are finding little pockets of hidden little self-engineered configurations and the way things were done that nobody knew about. Once the engineer left, the knowledge of that setup disappeared. You don't know about those until something either goes wrong, or you get something like AlgoSec to discover it for you, and it says, "Hey, there is this going on over here.""

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score.""RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out.""The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

Cons
"I would like to be able to see what objects have the same IP, but different names in different firewalls.""Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation.""Due to the fact that AlgoSec's user interface is less friendly than that of other programs, it might not be appropriate for persons with little experience in security or IT.""Priority should be to improve the user interface for the risk and compliance part, making it more responsive and user-friendly.""The customization of dashboards should be simplified and more user-friendly.""A vulnerability management module might be interesting, though not integrated with a third-party vendor. It should be an AlgoSec VM module.""In an environment that is very large, with many firewalls and routers, it is sometimes impossible to buy all of the licenses.""While AlgoSec provides comprehensive visibility and management of security policies across hybrid environments, there is an opportunity to further expand its intelligence capabilities."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency.""The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do.""Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is okay and the licensing can be a little tricky with the initial setup."
  • "AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
  • "I personally feel that the cost is quite expensive. AlgoSec is charging for each function, e.g., Active change, Application ABF license, etc."
  • "It is worth spending the cost for visibility on security. Of course, security is not cheap."
  • "It has improved our performance in operations, projects, and security.​"
  • "It will reduce your operations costs with improved team performance."
  • "Use the entire suite for its best benefits."
  • "Licensing is offered as a subscription and as a perpetual model."

  • "The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."
