  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I have been using AlgoSec for the last three years.

I primarily use AlgoSec for firewall policy management, network security visibility, and compliance monitoring, and also for automating security policy changes across my hybrid infrastructure.

One common example in handling firewall access requests for new applications or services is using AlgoSec, where I can automatically analyze the traffic path, identify affected firewalls, and validate whether the requested rule policies comply with existing security policies before deployment. For compliance monitoring, I use AlgoSec to regularly review firewall rules and identify outdated, unused, or overly permissive policies, which helps maintain compliance standards and reduce security risks.

What is most valuable?

The best features of AlgoSec in my experience are its firewall policy management, automated risk analysis, and network visibility capabilities. The application connectivity mapping feature is especially useful because it provides a clear view of traffic flows and helps identify potential security or connectivity issues quickly. Another standout feature is the automation of security policy changes, which reduces manual effort and speeds up approval workflows. The compliance monitoring and audit reporting features are also very valuable for maintaining security standards and simplifying audit preparation.

The application connectivity mapping feature in AlgoSec has been very useful for troubleshooting and change management. One specific example was during the deployment of a new internal application where users were experiencing connectivity issues between different network segments. Using the connectivity mapping feature, I was able to quickly visualize the traffic path, identify which firewall rules were blocking the communication, and determine the exact devices involved. This reduced troubleshooting time significantly and helped me implement the required policy changes much faster while maintaining security compliance.

AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by improving network security visibility, reducing manual effort in firewall management, and streamlining compliance processes. It helped my team and organization to automate security policy reviews and change management tasks, which reduced configuration errors and improved operational efficiency.

Since implementing AlgoSec, I have seen noticeable improvements in operational efficiency and policy management. Firewall change request processing has become much faster because many analysis and validation tasks were automated instead of being handled manually. I also reduced the number of unused and overly permissive firewall rules through regular policy reviews, which improved my overall security posture.

What needs improvement?

AlgoSec could be improved with a more modern and intuitive user interface, especially for new users managing complex environments. Some advanced configuration and reporting sections can feel slightly complicated and could benefit from simpler navigation and customization options.

Finally, a Single Pane of Glass for my AWS and Legacy On-Prem Firewalls

  • May 14, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The standout feature of AlgoSec Horizon to provide a unified "top-down" view of our entire security posture across a very messy hybrid environment.

The automated risk analysis is excellent. it doesn't just tell you the rule is "risky" it explains why based on the actual traffic flow and the sensitivity of the connected assets. it's also helped us significantly with the Rule Cleanup.

The absolute part is that it finally bridges the translation gap between App Dev teams and the security team. In most tools, you're just looking the IP addresses and ports, but the horizon's AppViz component lets us see the business context. When a developer asks why their connection is being dropped, i don't have to spend an hour digging through files, I can pull up the Application Connectivity Map see exactly which security policy is bottleneck

What i like the best is:

Intuitive Dashboard: The interface is clean and easy to navigate, making it simple to check compliance status, application connectivity, and risk posture.

Proactive Risk Alerts: Horizon flags potential misconfigurations or risky rules before they cause issues, which builds confidence in daily operations.

Application-Cenrtic View: Instead of focusing only on firewalls or devices, it shows how applications are impacted, which is far more meaningful for end-users.

Self-Service Queries: Users can quickly validate connectivity or compliance without waiting for IT invention.

Policy Automation: Automates firewall and cloud security group changes, reducing manual errors and speeding up approvals.

Compliance Reporting: Generates audit-ready reports for standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, saving significant time during assessments.

Scalability: Handles large enterprise environments without performance degradation.

Don't just look as it as a firewall too, Use the application-centric mapping. It makes explaining security risks to non-technical stakeholders much eaiser.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I'm being honest, the initial investigation and mapping phase can be bit of a heavy lift. It isn't necessarily a flaw in the software, but rather a reflection of its depth-beacause Horizon looks so deep into the traffic flows, you really have to ensure your network topology is accurately documented on your end first. If you have "dark corners" in your network or documented legacy segments, the tool will find them, but it means you'll spend some extra time in the early weeks fine-turning your collectors to get the full picture.

Another minor pain point is the Reporting UI customization. While the standard compliance templates for PCI and SOC2 are great out of the box, trying a build highly specific, custom-branded report for internal stakeholders has a bit of a learning curve. I found myself wishing for a slightly more intuitive drag and drop report builder for those one-off executive presentationss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest headache we faced was "Rule Bloat" and the fear of unknown. We have thousand of legacy rules, and nobody wanted to touch them because we aren't 100% sure what they were connected to. Algosec Horizon solved this by giving us a "Safety Net". It identifies redundant or shadowed rules and simulates the impact of change before we push it. The benefit? I don't have to worry about a routine cleanup causing a massive production outage because a legacy app was hidden behind an old rule.

It also tackled our Audit Anxiety. In the past, whenever the auditors came knocking for PCI of SOC2 compliance, it was a "all-hands-on-deck" situation for two weeks just to gather the data. Now we use Horizon to pull a "Continuous Compliance" report. It constantly monitors our posture, so we know where the gaps are before the audits starts. This has turned a two-week manual nightmare into task that takes us about half a day.

Finally, it's bridged the gap between our Cloud and On-prem teams. Usually, these two groups speak different languages- one is looking AWs Security Groups and the other at physical Check point or Fortinet firewalls. Horizon gives us a single "source of truth" if a developer says their app can't talk to the database, we can see the whole path-from the cloud instance, through the VPN, to the on-prem server-in one view. That alone has cut our troubleshooting time by at least 60%.

Automation has streamlined firewall policy changes and improved compliance visibility

  • May 12, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use AlgoSec for policy optimization, basic rule review, and network automation through FireFlow, as we implement policies on the firewall using AlgoSec and utilize risk profile and baseline compliance to meet the standards required for compliance in our market.

After onboarding the firewalls, we analyze the devices, monitoring, log collection, and analysis to ensure everything is working correctly. Once verified, we receive analysis reports that display multiple insights including unused rules from the last 90 or 180 days. Any rule not receiving traffic is considered an unused rule. The reports also identify redundant and special case rules, and show which rules have logging disabled. AlgoSec includes a special feature called Intelligent Policy Tuner (IPT), which provides suggestions for wider subnets to break down rules. The policy automation report displays risky rules where risk has been triggered.

We have implemented multiple automations in AlgoSec. We integrated AlgoSec FireFlow module with ServiceNow, where a user raises a request that triggers an API call between ServiceNow and AlgoSec. Once a manager approves the request, AlgoSec raises a ticket and checks the source and destination services to implement the policy on the relevant firewall.

What is most valuable?

The best feature in AlgoSec is in Firewall Analyzer, specifically IPT, which provides suggestions to break down rules, along with the baseline compliance feature that advises on modifications per market standards.

In IPT, on firewalls, there are multiple rules with wider subnets open, like 192.168.0.0/24. AlgoSec analyzes the traffic based on firewall logs to provide suggestions, such as dividing that subnet and suggesting traffic use cases from specific addresses.

The policy optimization reports from AlgoSec give a detailed overview of firewall rules, allowing us to monitor them effectively. AlgoSec provides change and audit reports on firewall rules, which we check whenever required. By using FireFlow, it significantly reduces the time needed to implement firewall policies and eliminates human errors during automation.

Multiple features in AlgoSec assist with automation, saving time in implementing firewall policies and reducing human errors through the API call between ServiceNow and AlgoSec.

What needs improvement?

For baseline compliance, modifying any standard profile according to our organization's needs requires adding customization. It would be beneficial to have training sessions on how to add custom risk profiles and baseline compliance profiles.

With 10 to 20 firewalls from Check Point, we need a single dashboard to verify firewall versions or vulnerabilities, functioning as a CISO dashboard for tracking purposes and allowing direct access to check current firewall versions and vulnerabilities.

TAC support takes too much time. When raising any request for technical support, the response is slow despite their efforts to help according to their standards.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using AlgoSec for 2.5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

AlgoSec is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

AlgoSec is scalable for our organization.

How are customer service and support?

TAC support takes too much time. When raising any request for technical support, the response is slow despite their efforts to help according to their standards.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used multiple solutions, including AlgoSec and competitors FireMon and Tufin, but AlgoSec stands out as really user-friendly and easy for any security engineer to handle.

How was the initial setup?

AlgoSec is really helpful. The tool is user-friendly and can be handled by anyone, as the GUI interface is very good.

What about the implementation team?

We are a partner of AlgoSec.

What was our ROI?

I do not know about the return on investment because we have used AlgoSec for more than four to five years and found it very helpful from a user-friendly perspective as network security operations, but I am not privy to the financial aspects.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing are managed by higher management, so we are not involved in that part.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We chose AlgoSec for the first time; however, some colleagues shared their experiences with competitors Tufin and FireMon, but we did not have a good experience with them during the POC. We have not evaluated too many options before choosing AlgoSec.

What other advice do I have?

TAC support takes too much time. When raising any request for technical support, the response is slow despite their efforts to help according to their standards.

AlgoSec is really helpful. The tool is user-friendly and can be handled by anyone, as the GUI interface is very good. I would rate this review 9 out of 10.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using AlgoSec is that if you manage complex firewall environments across multiple vendors, it can save a lot of manual effort, but it is important to invest time in proper policy cleanup and workflow design during implementation.

I found this interview smooth and well-paced, although you could group related topics together to avoid repeating similar questions around use case and features.

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
