We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and Palo Alto Networks Panorama based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewall Security Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is helpful in improving the security and compliance of our environment. We can optimize our environment by improving the rules that are not used or are duplicated. FireFlow is useful in creating and implementing new rules. It allows us to automate rules implementation and have more control over the rules."
"In my opinion, the most valuable features are the network map, unused rules reports (IPT), and active change."
"AlgoSec Firewall Analyser improves the firewall rules dramatically by identifying rules and objects that are not needed and consolidates rules and rule re-ordering."
"Multi-vendor feature in a multi-vendor environment is a must. Ensures changes adhere to internal and regulatory standards."
"It enhanced the complete workflow system within six months of deployment."
"It helps us to streamline our firewall rules, identify risks, and provide better visibility. This product has significantly saved the time and human efforts in creating and deploying firewall rules. It is now easier for our cybersecurity team to analyze firewalls rules and ACLs, using them in a more efficient manner."
"We are in the process of implementing FireFlow in our daily operation, which will make our lives even easier. The idea is to search the Firewall Analyzer for the equipment between the source and destination, and then automatically jump off to FireFlow and open a ticket. This will then automatically implement what is needed without the need to go into the Firewall itself. This will save us a lot of time and will help us to onboard junior engineers very quickly, getting them up to speed on our network and daily operation in record time."
"It is very useful for PCI DSS compliance."
"I found it easy to learn how to pull information from the logs."
"It's easy to deploy any software or policies."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the ability to manage our devices centrally. Additionally, we can monitor the workforce connections, receive reports, and use the backup feature."
"The dashboards are very good on Palo Alto. They offer a centralized dashboard for managers as well."
"Centralized firewall management and update management are the most valuable features."
"The product was great, and whenever there was a bug or issue, they released updates quickly. Additionally, their support was very good."
"It has shared profiles for all gateways. If I do not have Panorama, I need to create a separate profile for each and every gateway by logging into that particular gateway, but with Panorama, I can create a shared profile and just push it down to each and every gateway connected to it."
"It allows administrators to manage all firewalls from a single interface, reducing the time and effort required for configuration."
"While AlgoSec provides comprehensive visibility and management of security policies across hybrid environments, there is an opportunity to further expand its intelligence capabilities."
"The UX control panel is in need of improvement."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"We are still waiting to implement FireFlow, and getting it into place will hopefully speed up our implementation time and help with policy standardization."
"It would be interesting if the product could automate the switch configuration and create a dynamic map of the entire network."
"The pricing for smaller installations should be lowered because sometimes there is just no ROI to add AlgoSec to the small branch offices with only 10 rules."
"The initial setup can be complex for beginners."
"We have a fairly complex routing environment that AlgoSec struggled with having dual routers and first hop routing protocols. The initial period when we were doing an installation with their support desk was fairly challenging."
"It should have more connection with Threat Intelligence Cloud. They can also include features related to SecOps and automation API."
"The alerts in Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by integration with other systems, such as a forwarding trigger system. For example, if a customer has their own system it would be helpful to have the alarms integrated."
"Sometimes in Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we receive issues where it is overloaded and unresponsive. We have issues with accessing the devices due to a slow response from Panorama."
"The implementation is not that easy."
"There is always room for improvement in anything."
"Aside from pricing, I don't have any issues with Panorama."
"The solution is extremely expensive. You can integrate it with other Palo Alto products, however, it ends up being too much."
"The ease of use of Palo Alto Networks Panorama is an area for improvement. Another downside is that you need a lot of comprehension to understand what it is."
