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.

Enhancing network visibility with competitive pricing but needs better OT and 5G integration
The primary use cases for RedSeal are lifecycle management, vulnerabilities, and change management. Customers might look up or use these solutions for these areas RedSeal helps in optimizing the cost for the customer based on different use cases. If the solution caters to a particular use case,…
Vulnerability control saves audit costs and reduces expenses for organizations
Tufin Orchestration Suite is not commonly used in Thailand due to a lack of local support, and many customers are switching to AlgoSec or other vendors. 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 issue of technical knowledge, especially regarding English language proficiency, is significant for government and some companies, making Tufin Orchestration Suite harder to use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It permits us to save a lot of time and make some firewall policy clean up. Then, when we add firewall change requests to management through this tool, it decreases the time for design and implementation significantly."
"This solution helps in maintaining and providing regulatory compliance metrics and to optimize the overall security of the organization."
"The most valuable features are the FW report, traffic simulation, and the FireFlow system to help manage requests."
"We have not seen many faults reported from our customers."
"We use it for global firewall rules management to ensure global policies are applied to all regional firewalls, provide auditing and compliance."
"Users utilize this tool to make their change requests."
"We have all of the information about the firewall devices that we have at risk, either 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."
"Automation capabilities within AlgoSec help to reduce manual work and manual errors in security management."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."
"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."
"The Vulnerability and Risk Management feature is valuable to us for keeping the security posture up-to-date and conducting regular continuous audits."
"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."
"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."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"All the basic functions work well."
"Tufin is the only multi-vendor firewall tool that is available, and it helps to bring everything together and report on what all of the rules are."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interactive Map."
"One is that from the portal people are able to request access, and it is going to be able to stage the policy, add the rules or objects or whatever is needed for us so that all we need to do is push the policy at the time."
"The policy overview is valuable."
"The most valuable features are the Security Risks and Best Practices reporting/Rule base cleanup."
"It gives me a unified policy across multiple vendors."
"I don't evaluate other vendors every two weeks, but I've evaluated them before, and I think Tufin is quite a technically-leading solution."
 

Cons

"The license rekeying needed for when you need to change a firewall usually takes a bit of time."
"One important thing they should improve is their support level. We have a lot of trouble with the basic enterprise support level. They are very slow to respond and solve problems."
"Creating more intuitive menus could be helpful, especially for the first-time users."
"The regulatory compliance rules."
"To secure SaaS traffic there are a few vendors such as Palo Alto and Zscaler, but AlgoSec is not yet able to push rules onto these clouds."
"AlgoSec firewall analyzer is already an awesome product but there are still some areas that definitely need improving."
"Support for Layer 7 policies, including User-ID and threat profiles with Palo Alto firewalls, has been a pain point from us. We would like to include the additional info specifically because we believe it changes the riskiness of the rule if it is only set for a specific user or a group of users."
"One important thing they should improve is their support level. We have a lot of trouble with the basic enterprise support level; they are very slow to respond and solve problems."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"There is room for improvement regarding customization and automation of reports."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
"I would like to see visibility into the FW features like IPS/Content Filter policies, the same way it does for FW rules/policies."
"The cost is too much. For us it's around $40,000."
"The upgrade was a bit cumbersome because we had to do a complete reinstall."
"Also, the workflow is very rigid. It's not very easy to manipulate."
"I would like to see more about the cloud in the next release."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of Tufin; it is using so many of my VM resources and yet it is still a bit slow."
"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."
"The GUI is not really adaptable as you cannot configure it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is not cheap, but we get good value for what we pay."
"The pricing is flexible with a low cost setup."
"When it comes to the cost of support and licensing, it is much cheaper than other competing products."
"Licensing is offered as a subscription and as a perpetual model."
"The price is within the standard of security products."
"AlgoSec may be little pricier with its licenses, but it is probably better than any of other competitors."
"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."
"Quality has a price."
"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."
"The licensing costs are around $250,000 to $300,000."
"Licensing is on a customer by customer basis."
"Our licensing costs are pretty low. We were grandfathered in, so we are at about $35,000 per year."
"We have seen ROI just in the time savings and knowledge. Knowledge is power. Having the solution do it automatically for you without you doing the work is huge. If you are spending $50,000 a year, it could have cost you a $100,000 in man-hours without it, especially if you are working with a team.."
"This solution helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. We used to spend up to an hour to do a change, and now, it's around five minutes."
"The solution has helped us to reduce the time it takes to make changes. With Tufin, it takes ten to 15 minutes. Before, it was 30 minutes or more."
"The licensing costs are a significant amount of money."
"Pricing is quite high. We did compare it with AlgoSec but the pricing is not much different between the two."
