Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, FireMon and others in Firewall Security Management.
After implementing FireMon Security Manager, policy risk reports, compliance reports, and anomalies are generated automatically, which reduces audit preparation down to 15 to 18 hours per cycle, saving about 40 to 50% of time just on audit-related efforts.
It significantly reduced the time spent on manual firewall policy review and audit preparation.
An eight signifies they are doing a good job.
The customer support for FireMon Security Manager has been outstanding in our experience.
The technical support is good, but sometimes it takes some time.
The technical support for ManageEngine is very good
A significant issue was contacting support after hours on the weekends.
If it can see and interpret everything correctly, it would do exactly what I want, and it would be very helpful.
It offers extensive scalability options, providing more flexibility than other vendors.
As the environment grew, FireMon Security Manager continued to handle policy analysis, reporting, and change tracking reliably without performance issues.
When someone changes the configuration or running config in the network conflict manager, it sends alerts to my email.
One issue I faced with scalability was the transition from Skybox Security Suite's 6500 platform to the 7500 series due to licensing costs becoming prohibitive.
We have not experienced any major crashes, data losses, or serious outages.
If we have many devices added or if the firewall complexity is huge, we might experience some lag in processing.
FireMon can see everything much better and provides me with a fuller report when using Meraki as a firewall system.
Simplifying some workflows and dashboards would help teams get value more quickly, especially in large environments.
A basic understanding of cloud computing and firewall principles is necessary for successful implementation.
Reporting could have been improved, and feature requests often were not implemented.
Only the licensing part of Skybox had an edge. We were not renewing the licenses of Skybox every year, but in the case of other tools, we would have to renew if we wanted to use those tools.
It would be better if something more attractive or similar useful information found in AlgoSec was available.
Comparatively, FireMon has a very good price and is below the general competition in cost.
Compared to others, it is not so expensive.
Our experience with FireMon Security Manager's pricing and licensing is that it is on the higher side, but justified for a large, regulated environment.
From a commercial perspective, AlgoSec is more expensive compared to Skybox Security Suite.
The pricing became prohibitive when transitioning between the 6500 and 7500 series models.
By eliminating loopholes between policies, it simplifies review and analysis, while also automating policy changes and supporting multiple vendors.
It provides a single view across all firewalls, helps quickly identify risks and unused rules, and generates audit-ready reports, which is extremely useful in large, regulated environments.
The risk and rule analysis feature highlights risky, unused, shadow, duplicate, and overly permissive rules automatically, saving huge time on manual audits and helping reduce the attack surface.
The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic.
The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches.
Skybox Security Suite's network modeling and path analysis is a good feature when we need to check regarding the connectivity.
The most helpful feature is the firewall analyzer.
