What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
central dasboard to manage firewall rules and policy , audit reporting , firewall assurance
Enables us to clearly see the accesses to the application in the environment
What is our primary use case?
We have four firewalls and two routers in our environment. We also have a business application. At first, it was very difficult to connect to each firewall individually, see my environment as a whole, and determine where traffic was being blocked and who made changes. AlgoSec provides a solution to all of this in a single platform.
Being able to see where traffic is blocked using traffic simulation provides me with great convenience. Additionally, with FireFlow, I can handle this in a single action instead of taking actions on each firewall individually.
How has it helped my organization?
Thanks to Algosec, especially with the FireFlow and AppViz modules, I have managed the regulation compliance I need to adhere to through baseline compliance and checked my compliance with it. Without connecting to my firewalls one by one, I was able to handle all my changes with FireFlow in a single-handed manner according to a specific plan. I was able to clearly see the accesses to the application in my environment and the vulnerabilities of the application. The reports section was very useful in tightening up my policies.
What needs improvement?
Country-specific regulations should be added when required. Doing this on my own with baseline compliance is quite difficult.
Additionally, I would like AlgoSec to provide suggestions such as "this object includes that object" for my objects on the Check Point firewall. For my Fortigate manager, the support of the active change feature is important to me.
Lastly, the FireFlow interface could be simplified a bit more. I agree that it is user-friendly, but on the other hand, it can be difficult to organize and find certain things.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using AlgoSec for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven't encountered any interruptions while the product is running. It operates very stably.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward. We imported the ova file and that's all, then just clicked add devices.
What was our ROI?
It has been a very useful and suitable investment for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The setup is very easy, and while I can't say anything definitive about the pricing in terms of competition, licensing is also quite straightforward.

What do you like best about the product?
Algosec enabled automated conversion of FW rules from an old firewall to a new firewall whilst also converting rules from non zone based to zone based. This saved countless hours of manual work and also identified gaps in rules and removed unecessary rules too. Harry Lewins was also incredibly helpful to deal with as too were his support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that we encoutnered with the product was a problem, we had to get around some security requirements but they were all internal issues.
