Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Security ratings and security rules analysis are valuable features.""It assists in provisioning the application rapidly, which increases the organization's revenue.""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.""For us, as well as for our customers, firewall management and change management are the most important features.""It also provides very good visibility into the risk involved in firewall change requests and that is very important to us.""AlgoBot is a brilliantly, simple idea that lets us give our IT internal customers a way to check if rules are already in place before asking for more.""With the solution, we can uncover bottlenecks, streamline, and clean up our firewall rules.""The most valuable features are the network map, risk analysis, and tickets for firewall changes."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions.""Overall the solution does a good job.""Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively.""Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with.""I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited.""The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."

Cons
"We needs object level permissions and application level recertifications.""Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation.""The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors).""There is room for improvement in the rollback process.""The user interface could be a little more user-friendly.""The initial setup was extremely complex due to our large environment.""There are sometimes issues with the Risky Rules reports where the number of hits is registering zero, but we know that this is incorrect because we have checked the rules and see that they are indeed registering traffic.""I would like an intelligent tuner where it could help update rules with the application ID."

More AlgoSec Cons →

"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time.""The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that.""It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications.""ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario.""The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
