Room For Improvement

AlgoSec users seek improved integration, cloud compatibility, firewall support, user experience, support, documentation, policy management, and analytics.
Skybox Security Suite requires a web-based interface with improved features, enhanced support, better pricing, and increased automation and customization.
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.
The lack of continued support and problematic licensing costs were also areas needing improvement.
It would be better if something more attractive or similar useful information found in AlgoSec was available.
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.
Issues can arise in larger enterprises, particularly concerning policy-based forwarding and NAT traffic.
The design needs improvement, particularly in recognizing target devices and target files.

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.
NenadMijatovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient in vulnerability management, stable and easy to use
Vulnerability management is the most valuable feature because it lets you focus on the most critical vulnerabilities. That's the important thing. Here in Serbia, there are not so many companies that have too many firewalls inside one company. So, they usually don't buy this model for Firewall Assurance unless there is some compliance. So you can prove that your firewalls are compliant. So, that model is not so important here in Serbia. It's for bigger companies. So, they usually buy network assurance to build the model of the network and vulnerability management to focus on the most important vulnerabilities. Moreover, Skybox can collect data for many vendors. From the endpoint protection vendors to the network equipment vendors to other security vendors. So, it supports more than one hundred vendors to collect data from them.
