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."I like that the firewall will analyze the tools within the risk profiles and the policy optimizations within the AFA. This can also be used to create reports for the customer with the risk profiles to optimize the firewall rules."
"We have all of the information about the firewall devices that we have at risk, either because there is a firewall policy with some open protocol that can give us security problems later, or because long-unused rules present a security hole."
"Audit-ready reporting is an awesome feature."
"AlgoSec has helped us save time by having one central location to view firewall policies, especially when crossing multiple vendors."
"We now process FCRs much faster, which helps us to deliver faster and implement reworks at a quicker rate."
"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."
"Traffic Analyzer provided the centralized view for our IT SOC operations to focus mainly on high-risk firewall rules exposing with explicit any rules."
"It is very useful for PCI DSS compliance."
"It's great for creating signatures and activating activities."
"The most valuable feature is the Threat Intelligence."
"The ability to manage a large number of firewalls from a single point is most valuable."
"This solution is user-friendly. It is centrally managed and provides role optimization, without the need for additional tools."
"You don't need an overly experienced workforce to handle Palo Alto. It's very easy to use."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable. We don't experience bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash. It works as expected."
"Variable creation and template stack functionalities make Palo Alto Networks Panorama a brilliant solution. It is a completely scalable system, with good technical support."
"In Panorama, installing the policy, and pushing the policy, it's quite seamless."
"It can be optimized. There is a lot of RPA and we have scripts in AlgoSec that need recertification. With AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer, we can see lots of objects and lots of rules that tell us we need to clean the equipment. It will give us a solution but it doesn't always work. The solution that it gives us is not always accurate from the scripts."
"Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation."
"Some features require a learning curve and may necessitate support from AlgoSec, which can be challenging at times."
"In our environment, we add rules in the files based on user logins, but currently, we can't do that with AlgoSec. AlgoSec can't create rules based on user logins. For example, generally, when we create a rule, we put IP Address, Destination IP Address, and Service Port. However, in our environment, we put IP Address, User Login, Destination IP Address, and Service Port, but AlgoSec doesn't support a rule in this format. We opened a ticket regarding this with their support two months ago, and they said that they will be able to add it in the future, but they don't know the timeframe."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"The product should support more vendors with the same in-depth analysis that it already is providing. This would give more reasons to for other companies to adopt it."
"To secure SaaS traffic there are a few vendors such as Palo Alto and Zscaler, but AlgoSec is not yet able to push rules onto these clouds."
"The simulation can be improved."
"Reporting might be an area to improve. It can provide reporting or some sort of graphical representation of your environment."
"My company's getting whatever it needs from Palo Alto Networks Panorama, but in the cloud, there's an issue with CPU management, and that's an area for improvement. Though the normal data traffic doesn't go through the management interface, whenever there's an increase in the throughput, CPU management becomes high. If you increase the load, CPU management spikes, and it's what needs to be taken care of in Palo Alto Networks Panorama."
"It communicates with remote devices, and sometimes, there is a little bit of delay during its communication with remote devices. There should be real-time communication or updates from the manager to devices."
"The initial setup requires expertise and can be a bit complex."
"The current documentation is not detailed enough."
"Lacking in speed and reliability."
"Palo Alto Networks Panorama could improve by making the solution less expensive."
"Clients need to have an alarm and alert system from which they can forward the trigger. The product needs to improve its integration as well."
