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."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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Overall the solution does a good job."
"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."
"Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The way that it's built with three-tier architecture, it makes it very horizontally scalable, so I can have multiple fallbacks. If one machine does fall offline, there are four other machines that are doing the exact same job to pick it up"
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"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."
"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"It's expensive."
