Automation has reduced manual firewall work and compliance reporting is now streamlined
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Automation capabilities within AlgoSec help to reduce manual work and manual errors in security management. AlgoSec performs exceptionally well in terms of optimizing firewall rules, and I have observed examples with improvements from optimizing firewall rules. AlgoSec includes a compliance reporting component, and I generate compliance reports once a day. In terms of integration, AlgoSec demonstrates strong capabilities for integration with infrastructure.
What needs improvement?
I have identified several areas for improvement and disadvantages. Dynamic management is the core problem I see with AlgoSec. When I compare AlgoSec with competitors such as Check Point and Tufin, I observe some significant differences with respective pros and cons. From my personal experience, I can identify a leader among these solutions. In terms of pricing, AlgoSec is relatively affordable compared to other products on the market.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have approximately several years of experience with AlgoSec.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
AlgoSec is generally stable, though I have heard about some glitches or latency issues. If I were to rate stability on a scale from zero to ten points, with ten being the most stable, I would give AlgoSec a six. The most frequent stability issue is the reason I assign this rating.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If I were to rate scalability for AlgoSec from zero to ten, with ten being the best, AlgoSec deserves a seven in this field. This rating is slightly higher than stability. There are some limitations in scalability, and it can be expensive to scale, which is the reason for assigning seven points.
How are customer service and support?
In terms of technical support from AlgoSec, I would rate it on a scale from zero to ten points, with ten being the best. I would give support a four points rating.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In the past, we discussed Aviatrix, another product. I did not replace Aviatrix with a similar solution but rather stopped working with it. In the past, I mentioned other global vendors such as Fortinet and Palo Alto firewalls. I am still dealing with some of them.
How was the initial setup?
When comparing AlgoSec in terms of price and features to Tufin and other competitors, the installation process and deployment are relatively easy rather than being quite complex. I may face some specific challenges when deploying AlgoSec.
What was our ROI?
Although this question is primarily for an end client or user, I can still provide some insight. I observe some savings with AlgoSec in terms of time savings. If I were to put this into a percentage, considering that it is personal for all customers, the approximate time savings would be approximately twenty to thirty percent or potentially more or less.

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