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.

More ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer pros

"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."

"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."

"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."

"RedSeal helps you prioritize and allocate your scarce human and capital resources where they have the biggest impact to protect your most-valuable digital assets."

"This solution is amazing! The most important part is the way it gives access information to the entire infrastructure, the network most importantly."

"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."

Cons

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

"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."

"I have encountered stability issues. Many times when I have restarted my log server, services wouldn't automatically start."

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

"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."

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

More ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer cons

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

"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."

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

"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."

"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."

"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."

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

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful."

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."
