A solution with a good interface that can be used for firewall policy management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of AlgoSec is its firewall analyzer. AlgoSec also has a better interface.
What needs improvement?
AlgoSec's audit management is not good enough and can be improved. Also, AlgoSec should be made more scalable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using AlgoSec for around one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
AlgoSec is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
AlgoSec is not a scalable solution. Only I use AlgoSec in our company to do firewall management.
How was the initial setup?
It is moderately easy to set up AlgoSec.
What about the implementation team?
Two staff were involved in AlgoSec's deployment, which took around three hours.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing AlgoSec, we evaluated Tufin as an option. We chose AlgoSec because it has a better interface.
What other advice do I have?
AlgoSec is a good firewall management tool for organizations with multiple firewall levels. If you only have two or three firewall levels, then AlgoSec is not worth investing in.
Overall, I rate AlgoSec an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Algosec Firewall Analyzer
What do you like best about the product?
Algosec Firewall Analyzer is used to monitize firewalls policy and rules. It will also used to mature your network policies. If a policy is already defined it highlights that policy and you can merge the policy.
What do you dislike about the product?
User creation and assigning roles is little bit difficult. While upgrading we have to upload packages files which can be downloaded from algosec website but downloading takes time.

useful tool when you deal with multivendor complex firewall environment
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive network visibility: AlgoSec provides a holistic view of the network, which makes it easier to identify and manage potential security risks.
Efficient security policy management: With AlgoSec, it's possible to manage security policies across multiple platforms from a single console. This makes it much easier to enforce consistent security policies across the network.
Simplified auditing and compliance reporting: AlgoSec makes it easy to generate detailed reports on network activity, which is important for compliance with industry regulations and audits.
Automated risk analysis and prioritization: AlgoSec uses machine learning algorithms to analyze network data and identify potential risks. This enables IT teams to focus their efforts on the most critical issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
For some of my colleagues it took time to get onboarded...but its worth it
Also we had a bit strugle introducing some of our multi-context firewalls. But fixed that eventually with support of algosec

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AlgoSec is solving several problems related to network security management that can benefit organizations in various ways.
For us main benefit was single pane of glass over all policies over whole network as well as documented and automated policy deployment tool.

Powerful product to optimize FWs
What do you like best about the product?
I had to compare several products in the market mainly to keep our firewalls clean and optimized. Algosec was the best in my shortlist concerning correct reports and recommendations. It has powerful tools on top of FW optimization, which is traffic simulation query.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't optimize NAT rules and VPN access rules/lists in Cisco ASAs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can keep track of traffic and hits on access rules, giving us the proper recommendations for tweaking and removing unused objects. Nice to have it to remove unused or unattached objects. Policy Optimization is the place that I mostly use in day-to-day work.
It's been a wonderful experience using algosec. Navigation around the solution has been seemless
What do you like best about the product?
Report generation has been great and helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
Some devices are not discoverable. Like Sophos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall device analysis and risk and risky rules compliance
Excellent product for multiple firewall manage in one pain of window.
What do you like best about the product?
Algosec Recommend policies according to various compliance bodies like HIPPA / PCIDSS
What do you dislike about the product?
Fireflow flow needs to improve to enhance workflow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Algosec helps to manage multi vendor firewall under one roof so for an engineer becomes easy to manage multi firewall from single pain of glass.
You can have better perfomance on your devices by trusting the recomendations made on Algosec.
What do you like best about the product?
You can have better performance on your devices by trusting the recommendations made on Algosec. When you have FWs full of configuration, you can relay on algosec to make better use of the devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, we don't have dislikes on this solution; We would like easier to search documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have FWs that have very granular configurations, so sometimes we reach configuration capability limits which can be solved by reducing it and making a better configuration based on Algosec recommendations.
powerfull tool with easy integration
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with multiple vendors is easy to use and not only Firewalls can be integrated even network devices, data center switch, web proxy, load balancer etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
the Zone matric is very powerful but unfortunately there is no graphical representation.
Could be expensive if you want to integrate many routers and VRF. Confusing why router and vrf are separate licenses.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Troubleshooting can be easier when someone uses the orchestration solution AFA, AFF and AppViz.
Also, documentation can improve for orchestration end-customers.

Very good experience using Algosec
What do you like best about the product?
I really like using Algosec Firewall Analyzer in addition to its very easy to understand use, Algosec Firewall Analyzer also has a Web GUI that is very easy to operate. AFA is also capable of automatically detecting if there are vulnerabilities in our devices. This really helps us to find if there are any vulnerabilities in the policies we create.
What do you dislike about the product?
There may be a bit of a problem where sometimes if we want to do a session tshoot at a support time of sometimes 30 minutes, that's too short in my opinion. maybe it can be reimprovised again about the timing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The workings of the AlgoSec Security Management Solution (ASMS) are to collect and analyze routing table, ruleset, hit counter, log files, and topology information of each routing table. analyze routing tables, rulesets, hit counters, log files, and topology information from each of the Network Security Network Security devices, such as Firewalls, Routers, and others. AlgoSec Security Management Solution (ASMS) is able to integrate and pull information from Vulnerability Assessment scanners, and application connectivity needs from the CMDB (Configuration Management Database), spreadsheets, and Firewall rules. Using this information, the AlgoSec Security Management Solution (ASMS) can build and maintain a dynamic network topology map, and can simulate the dynamic network topology map, and can simulate network traffic and understand its impact on application connectivity. understand its impact on application connectivity.
Good Application Network Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
It was helpful to figure out the traffic flows in the network. Saved us time. Had some questions which we needed to go and reach out to support for which got resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the individuals I spoke to had difficulty understanding my questions. Communication was challenging, but we got there in the end. I was satisfied with the answer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we have problems in needing to map out application traffic in the network, Algosec is one of the first pieces of software that I think of.
