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.
Sajid Mukhtar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a graphical overview of our network and is easy to deploy, but needs a user-friendly interface and a feature for compliance audit policy
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.

Tufin is primarily used to orchestrate and manage network traffic and firewall devices. It is specifically useful for implementing firewall policies and handling requests from clients that require policy updates or changes Tufin simplifies understanding network topology. New employees can quickly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to navigate."
"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."
"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."
"This has helped to restrict rules, delete rules that are too permissive, and create a configuration that complies with our security policy."
"I found that for policy optimization it does a great job."
"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."
"AlgoSec's ability to integrate with various security and networking solutions enhances its overall value."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"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."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies because it is so fast. A report about compliance and the clean-up process used to take about one month up before. With Tufin, it takes only one day."
"The product is good at auditing the changes that we make in our environment."
"We can check and analyze the current status of our firewall rules."
"The filtering of lots of criteria is very valuable."
"We use this product to sharpen our change cycle. A request used to take quite a while as we did manual assessments. A lot of that is now done through SecureTrack."
"Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize."
"It gives our firewall administrators visibility into the total infrastructure."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. This makes it a lot easier to find out the things that are wrong."
 

Cons

"A simple tutorial about the initial configuration on Youtube could provide a lot of help."
"It would be nice to have a good tool for network map discovery in the GUI to make it more user-friendly."
"Some UI experience is a little clunky (for e.g. MAPS module) and could be made more user-friendly."
"In our environment, we add rules in the files based on user logins, but currently, we can't do that with AlgoSec. AlgoSec can't create rules based on user logins. For example, generally, when we create a rule, we put IP Address, Destination IP Address, and Service Port. However, in our environment, we put IP Address, User Login, Destination IP Address, and Service Port, but AlgoSec doesn't support a rule in this format. We opened a ticket regarding this with their support two months ago, and they said that they will be able to add it in the future, but they don't know the timeframe."
"​In the VMware platform, sometimes the application is frozen and we have to reload the machine​."
"The FireFlow template does not allow the user to perform external actions like sending an email or triggering a specific action."
"I would like more documents and support for the cloud firewall."
"Initially, we found this as a complex deployment."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"We have had a couple issues with the VMs, but I think it was just because they were starving for resources. A recommendation on what the virtual appliances should have for resources would be appreciated."
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
"We would like better communication on tickets, a better way to do metrics, and better communication to the customer. The biggest change that my team would like right now is communication on the process of the ticket, so the customer knows where their ticket is while their waiting."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"I would like a better reporting feature and automatic alerting based upon rule changes."
"The firewall management is complex for beginners."
"I needed more help getting the product to work in the lab."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to assign a step in the workflow to a specific user at a specific time, based on how the previous steps of the workflow have been handled."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is easy to grasp."
"The cost is kind of high but I really did not check any other vendors."
"The price is within the standard of security products."
"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 licensing is very easy to set up, with flexible licensing methods such as subscription and perpetual."
"The licensing scheme should be done in a simpler way. For example, if we delete a firewall and want to add a new one, then the license doesn't get freed up automatically. You have to request a new license to customer support and install it. If you are testing new implementations, this can be cumbersome."
"Cost is based on firewall. There are bundles, e.g., virtual firewalls might make the solution cheaper."
"The price is adapted to the product's utilization for each company."
"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."
"It's quite an expensive solution."
"Our evaluation showed that Tufin's features were on par with AlgoSec, but Tufin was the better financial choice."
"We haven't purchased the license yet for SecureChange. We do have plans to buy it next year."
"The cost is pretty high. It's close to seven figures."
"For us it's around $40,000 or so."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be lower. It has been cost-effective for us. We have a contract for three years."
"I just wrote a purchase order for it. It is a $150,000 a year."
"For us, the pricing was six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive and one being the cheapest."
