RedSeal Reviews

The ability to create a comprehensive network map and tie it to vulnerability data. This was invaluable in providing critical context to remediation emphasis, planning and benchmarking.

Besides remediation efforts, it provided a global view of the network that was unfiltered by any one group, specifically the networking staff.

I did not like the Java dependency. The product needs to make use of HTML5 or something that is browser agnostic.

I was actively involved with the product for about 8 months. That includes installation, configuring and developing corporate procedures around using the product.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

RedSeal uses plug-ins to interface with the devices (Layers 2 & 3) that it is gathering configuration data from. Sometimes the updated plug-ins "break." When the plug-ins don't work your configurations and analysis accuracy is impacted.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with. Once I was able to get to the higher tiers I had excellent support and resolution.

I found the setup to be straightforward and fairly intuitive.

I was not part of the selection process and to my knowledge I don't think any other products were reviewed. However, since then I have looked at similar products and to my understanding there is some comparable functions but not an exact match.

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. You might think you know your network and the issues present but RedSeal ties all of the aforementioned elements into an actionable, global view.
