Works very well as a single platform for policy management and audit compliance

The dashboard clearly shows the policies of a network environment. We can see which policies are critical or are always being used. We can also see which ones are not being used or have not been modified in a long time. We can see all the ports that the applications are using. We have all this information in the dashboard. After deployment, FireMon Asset Manager automatically shows the network topology. However, the dashboard is pretty fixed. It is not flexible. If I need to modify the dashboard, I need the help of their customer support. FireMon has streamlined policy deployment across multiple firewalls, making it easier to quickly implement changes. It has also improved our ability to comply with audits and be compliant with PCI DSS and ISO 27001 standards. The efficiency of deploying policies has increased significantly. The information provided by FireMon Asset Manager is helpful in making an organization's environment secure. It makes customers look into their policies and see if they need to be modified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspects of FireMon Asset Manager are its integrations and its ability to passively monitor the network for unknown assets."

"It offers a single platform for managing firewalls of different brands and simplifies policy deployment and auditing. It helps push policies to different firewalls, and it also helps with policy auditing."

"It's quite a mature solution."

"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."

"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."

Cons

"It is not very good at monitoring the Check Point firewall, but it works very well with other firewalls such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco ASA."

"The discovery process could be improved. If incorrect credentials are entered, it should give an error message. That would make our work easy rather than having to troubleshoot why the issue is occurring."

"While passive discovery remains important, active retrieval of asset details would be valuable, and this functionality is starting to be implemented, as I've observed in recent updates but it is not fully there yet."

"Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected."

"We have not had a good experience with technical support from OpenText. Many cases take a month to be resolved."

"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."

"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."

"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."

"Only to improve the GUI."

"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."

"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
