We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."FireFlow is great. In a company that gets a large volume of requests to open firewall rules, it's helpful to have one place that summarizes the requests, enabling you to clearly understand why they need to be implemented and also implement them. Firewall Analyzer can help you identify missing routing or check information on the firewall without the need to log into a firewall or router to check the routing. We have all that access in three clicks."
"It helps in regulatory compliance metrics and overall firewall security optimization."
"It is very useful for PCI DSS compliance."
"It has reduced our audit preparation efforts and costs drastically and maintains continuous compliance."
"It assists us in network security reviews and audits."
"Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."
"AlgoSec has reduced the need for additional manpower and we can now use the time to tackle other security-related issues."
"Multi-vendor feature in a multi-vendor environment is a must. Ensures changes adhere to internal and regulatory standards."
"The initial setup was straightforward. You just have to click it and follow the manuals."
"The product has valuable features for security and network extension."
"Overall, I would say the solution has been quite stable."
"We are happy with the scalability."
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the load balancing and routing of firewall rules. Many of the features are beneficial."
"It operates on a logical level, providing a comprehensive and centralized way to manage your network resources."
"The best part is the blueprint creation where I can create their things and then move on to the target environment."
"AlgoSec license usage is handled differently between firewall vendors. It may be a bit challenging to properly size the purchase of a new license - especially if a client is running multiple vendor firewalls in the environment."
"The product is severely lacking in vendor support."
"Environments with many devices need a lot of hardware resources to avoid slowdowns."
"Our experience with support has been inconsistent. Sometimes, support is fast and clean; other times, not so much. Occasionally, they have taken a while to respond or provided an inadequate workaround instead of a solution."
"In terms of additional features in the next release, more integration with SD-WAN would be valuable."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"I would like more documents and support for the cloud firewall."
"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."
"Traffic flow introspection topology visibility is definitely needed because at the moment, NSX-T lacks in this area."
"They need to enhance their technical support."
"Occasionally the licensing is not very clear. They should make it easier to understand."
"I would like to see automation capabilities in the deployment process."
"The first time setting it up was difficult."
"The support needs improvement."
"The price is rather high."
"We have done three installations and we have not had any critical issues. The time it took for the installation was approximately two days. However, they should provide better documentation."
