Firewall Rules Automation and Clear Traffic Path Investigation
What do you like best about the product?
Firewall rules automation, investigation of traffic path.
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall manafement
Automation has transformed firewall policy optimization and reporting and now drives faster audits
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for AlgoSec is that it is user-friendly and easy to implement and manage, and the best part is it can be installed on-premises as well as on the cloud. It helps to visualize complex networks and creates a dynamic network topology map. Using Firewall Analyzer, security and operation teams are able to optimize the configuration of firewalls, routers, web proxies, and related network infrastructure, which ensures security and compliance.
My main use case also includes a network map overview and implementation of topology changes based on the source, destination, and port, which is very flexible. Traffic simulation to identify if IP traffic can flow between two points is seamless, and network device mapping is adequate, though not better than other solutions.
What is most valuable?
The best features that AlgoSec offers include intuitive functionality.
The features that stand out the most for me include traffic simulation, which helps to identify IP traffic and shows if it can flow between two points, and network device mapping. There is identification of risky configuration and recommendations for remediation. AlgoSec also provides firewall policy overview and optimization by rule with reordering and suggestions to delete unused rules, network map overview, and implementation of topology changes based on source, destination, and port. It provides PCI audit results and recommendations for a better score while discovering application-based flow through auto-discovery and making changes to those flows easily.
The features have helped our customers and my team across the globe optimize their firewall policies and bring the best performance out of all their devices.
AlgoSec has positively impacted my organization by helping our customers across the globe with policies and improving the performance of their devices. It has been especially helpful by generating automatic reports based upon regulatory industries, reducing audit preparation efforts and costs. Simulating the traffic query to see where the traffic is blocked and automating the policy creation saves a significant amount of time, with approximately sixty percent of the time saved through automation in policy creation, firewall rules optimization, and cleanup. It identifies and mitigates risks and associates them to business applications.
What needs improvement?
AlgoSec could be improved by their support not being available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, which is a concern, especially when working remotely and needing support in different countries. There is also insufficient online documentation, and it should support other platforms like GCP and Alibaba.
The needed improvements also include the user interface, which should be more friendly and easy to customize to fit any organization's needs.
Another improvement needed for AlgoSec is that the price could be more competitive, especially for smaller organizations to be able to acquire this tool, although it is not very high.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using AlgoSec for the past four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
AlgoSec's scalability is very good, and it handles my organization's growth.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is nice and very proactive, but in some countries, they should improve on customer support. This discourages remote working if you want to reach customer support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, the cost is effective as far as my organization is concerned. However, I feel for small organizations, it might be a bit expensive to afford. The setup was straightforward and easy, and I have no problems with implementation.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment because AlgoSec helps to identify and mitigate risks and associate them with business applications. It also helps to simulate the traffic query to see where the traffic is blocked and automates policy creation, saving a significant amount of time, approximately eighty percent. By generating automatic reports based upon regulatory industries, AlgoSec reduces the audit preparation effort and cost by eighty percent, making it a very helpful tool.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing AlgoSec, I evaluated Cisco Defense Orchestrator.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise others looking into using AlgoSec that it is a highly recommendable tool because AlgoSec is the best one available in the market, and no competitors can come close to it as it helps our customers across the globe optimize their firewall policies and bring the best performance out of their devices.
AlgoSec has ensured my organization has complete network policy visibility by automatically generating reports for all leading departments in my organization as per regulations, making data-driven decisions easily. I rate this product eight out of ten.
