Implementation supports efficient network management but requires improvement in device handling capacity

The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic. If I want to manage my policy and optimize it, I find that ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer supports many vendors after Firewall. One aspect I want to improve in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is the maximum number of firewalls that can be managed. I learned from the internal support team that one prop server only supports three to five firewalls. I think one prop server can manage a maximum of five because if I have many devices here, the performance of the prop would be very high, considering CPU and RAM usage.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."

"I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions."

"The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."

"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."

"The strong points of ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are many, but I think my favorite feature focuses on the VPN traffic."

"Overall the solution does a good job."

"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."

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

"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."

Cons

"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."

"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."

"One aspect I want to improve in ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is the maximum number of firewalls that can be managed. I learned from the internal support team that one prop server only supports three to five firewalls."

"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."

"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario."

"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."

"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."

"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that the price of the products is flexible. There have been different types of products, like professional and enterprise-based ones, and depending on the requirements, customers can choose their products."

"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer is less expensive than some of their competitors, such as Cisco. The price is one of the reasons why we use ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer."

"Needs to work on pricing."

"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."
