Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."AlgoSec ASMS brings a holistic view of network firewall policy and automates firewall security management in very large-sized environments."
"It assists in provisioning the application rapidly, which increases the organization's revenue."
"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."
"There are some important and really nice features that I want to mention about AlgoSec. The most useful feature is instantaneous AFA reports, that you do not have to wait (at least one week or even more for a more accurate one) to get optimization recommendations about policy as many other vendors."
"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."
"The Firewall Analyzer helps us achieve our various IT compliance requirements, like ISO-27001."
"We have not seen many faults reported from our customers."
"The initial setup process is excellent."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It operates on a logical level, providing a comprehensive and centralized way to manage your network resources."
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"NSX has excellent security features like virtual firewalls. I also like the micro-segmentation features, which are useful for the virtual machines inside the servers."
"The solution is very good at micro-segmentation."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"This solution comes with an API that can easily integrate with other solutions."
"This solution would be improved if it were able to compare configurations and provide recommendations."
"Algosec does not support vendors like Sophos, SonicWall, Forecepoint, and so on."
"In the VMware platform, sometimes the application is frozen and we have to reload the machine."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"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."
"Advanced analytics and reporting capabilities that provide deeper insights into network traffic, security policy effectiveness, compliance, and risk management can be beneficial."
"We have a fairly complex routing environment that AlgoSec struggled with having dual routers and first hop routing protocols. The initial period when we were doing an installation with their support desk was fairly challenging."
"The customization of dashboards should be simplified and more user-friendly."
"We had some complexities implementing into the other parts of a network."
"It isn't easy to deploy."
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"There could be an improvement in regards to security."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"The setup of the solution could be simplified."
"There are always issues integrating with Cisco."
