With AlgoSec, I hope to achieve network visibility, application connectivity, and so on, which is the way it was designed.

I am hoping AlgoSec will help solve specific problems by clearing and speeding up change management while providing needed network visibility and simplifying management.

AppViz stands out to me, and I think all of the features are interesting; AppViz is a really cool thing.

My experience with using the best features AlgoSec offers is minimal, but I am most excited to try AppViz.

Based on my initial impressions, I think there's room for improvement, but I haven't encountered anything that stood out as confusing or challenging.

I have not been using AlgoSec for very long.

My experience with customer support has been perfect.

I would rate the customer support a 10.

I previously used Skybox before considering AlgoSec, but I decided to switch because Skybox ended.

I evaluated other options before choosing AlgoSec, but I don't know the names of them.

My advice for others looking into using AlgoSec is that it's great, so do it.

I choose to rate AlgoSec 10 out of 10 because it is the best solution for our use case.

I was indeed offered a gift card or incentive for this review.

I have no additional thoughts about AlgoSec before we wrap up.

My main use case for AlgoSec is related to the AlgoSec firewall analyzers, as a bank I work with has multiple firewalls and they want to implement and deploy this firewall analyzer along with fire flow, integrating it with their service now system. It's an interesting opportunity for new learning, and I am confident that I will deliver those solutions on time to the client, particularly after having requested assistance during the user-level AlgoSec sessions, leading to prompt support from your team.

Currently, the bank does not have any proper solution in place, which is a significant gap.

The proposed plan includes preparations and documentation regarding AlgoSec, which I represent on behalf of AlgoSec. My explanations cover the future benefits of adopting this technology, as they struggle with tracking properly configured rules, which requires constant cleanup activities on the firewalls. We need to follow change processes, whether standard, normal, or emergency, and with the help of AlgoSec fire flow, we can meet these tasks in a timely manner, while AlgoSec firewall analyzer will be instrumental in tracking firewall traffic, identifying issues, and minimizing operational overhead.

Earlier, tracking changes was a challenge, but if I implement a new change in the same location months later, I can easily retrieve the necessary information thanks to AlgoSec. This capability drastically reduces our time spent on manual processes, which previously consumed five to ten hours per firewall for reviews, especially during approval workflows and rule implementations.

With AlgoSec, I believe we save up to 80% of the time involved in security change management processes when using fire flow, compared to manual methods. The manual process typically took anywhere from two to five days for completion, while fire flow enables us to finalize changes in less than 24 hours for low-risk changes, marking a significant efficiency improvement.

AlgoSec has significantly improved our organization by automating security policy management and change processes, reducing manual efforts and human errors. With FireFlow, we’ve accelerated change implementations, cut turnaround time by up to 80%, and enhanced compliance reporting. This has helped us ensure better security posture and operational efficiency across complex network environments.AlgoSec has significantly improved our organization by automating security policy management and change processes, reducing manual efforts and human errors.

AlgoSec offers essential features such as risk management, policy optimization, change management, traffic simulation, and compliance auditing. Risk management is crucial for security, enabling deep analysis and threat prioritization, while traffic simulation allows interactive diagnostics for operational traffic management. Change management includes tools for monitoring policy changes and ensuring compliance with security standards, making these features significant for any organization.

AlgoSec positively impacts my organization by reducing operation burden, enhancing time efficiency, and saving costs associated with security management.

AlgoSec firewall analyzer helps with policy complexity by identifying unused or redundant rules and objects, recommending optimizations such as merging similar rules and removing unnecessary allows. Over time, firewalls can accumulate risky configurations, leading to increased overhead and troubleshooting time, but with AlgoSec, we simplify our rule sets, improve firewall performance, and facilitate faster change implementations.

One improvement I see for AlgoSec is implementing an optimized rule cleanup and recertification process to address the challenge of companies neglecting clean-up recommendations. Establishing a quarterly or bi-annual certification process and automating aspects of the change process can enhance utilization and operational efficiency, pushing for automatic approvals where the risk is minimal.

During the AlgoSec training, I learned that the program spans nine hours over three days, which feels excessive considering the frequent breaks. I'd suggest reducing the overall time and increasing the number of days to help better balance personal and professional responsibilities.

I have been aware of AlgoSec for around five years, having initially worked with it, but after moving across multiple countries, I did not get a chance to use it until recently, reigniting my interest in learning about this technology.

AlgoSec is stable in my experience, offering many good features that contribute to its reliability.

AlgoSec scales both vertically within a single appliance and horizontally across multiple coordinated nodes, managing varying device numbers based on requirements, from small setups of about 20 devices to large enterprises supporting over 1,000.

Overall, AlgoSec's customer support is highly responsive and specialized for security operation teams managing complex environments, providing service coverage during business hours and essential 24x7 support for critical cases.

I did not use a different solution before AlgoSec. I evaluated Tufin Network Security Policy Management solution as a competitor to AlgoSec prior to my decision.

Highly knowledgeable engineers familiar with firewalls, cloud, and network security

• Good documentation and self-service knowledge base

• Personalized help on complex integrations and deployments

I have witnessed a return on investment with AlgoSec by reducing the manual efforts involved in policy reviews and enabling faster operations, ultimately enhancing our security posture.

Pricing and licensing for AlgoSec depend entirely on custom quotes based on the organization's specific needs. My experience as a cybersecurity consultant prevents me from diving deep into pricing discussions, but licensing typically follows a device-based structure, factoring in firewall clusters and subscription options, with an estimated range of $50,000 to $100,000 for smaller deployments.

NA

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate AlgoSec customer support a nine, highlighting the nearly perfect service experience but noting room for improvement in several areas.

To those considering AlgoSec, I advise that it is straightforward to configure and understand, emphasizing the automation of change management and improved documentation, which significantly cuts down manual errors and time spent on audits and compliance.

I rate AlgoSec a ten out of ten overall.

I use AlgoSec for compliance reports and security purposes. I also use it for monitoring. Monitoring is the best part of using AlgoSec, as I can monitor and connect again in security mode.

AlgoSec has improved the functionality and the comfort of my organization. Whenever I have any issue, there is a chat box from the AlgoSec team that can help me whenever I need it. It's very easy to use, and I have done integration with it.

AlgoSec allows me to monitor who is making a change on my Check Point device. It is very easy to monitor.

I cannot think of anything that could be improved. Everything is good.

I would like for there to be more AI functionalities.

I have been using AlgoSec for about two years now.

There are zero stability issues. It's stable.

It is scalable.

The customer service and support are satisfactory. I am satisfied with it.

The initial setup was straightforward and took about forty-five minutes. I didn't have any issues when implementing it.

There are two of us in our team, myself and one colleague.

The pricing is moderate. It's not that cheap and it's not expensive.

I would recommend Algosec to all. It is very easy to deploy, scalable, and enables us to monitor.

I would rate AlgoSec a ten out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using AlgoSec for one year.

We haven't encountered any interruptions while the product is running. It operates very stably.

We can add devices very quickly whenever we need to, with additional licenses.

I received sufficient and useful responses within a maximum of one day.

Straightforward. We imported the ova file and that's all, then just clicked add devices.

It has been a very useful and suitable investment for us.

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.

We have tried Tuffin.
