"Audit-ready reporting is an awesome feature."
"We are currently in a rule base performance improvement process and AlgoSec is an invaluable tool to accomplish this."
"The solution helps visualize and manage the hybrid network."
"AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer can detect misconfigurations and unused or permissive rules, as well as rules without logging. Through a single dashboard, I can see all the problematic rules from all the firewalls. It's very simple, with AlgoSec, to get an analysis of all the rules, and that helps with visibility."

"It would be interesting if the product could automate the switch configuration and create a dynamic map of the entire network."
"We are still waiting to implement FireFlow, and getting it into place will hopefully speed up our implementation time and help with policy standardization."
"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 doesn't support all features on our firewalls. For instance, planning changes, which include net rules, doesn't work. It didn't integrate so well with the ACI network."
"Automate the change documentation in MS Word format. Therefore, we can customize it, if needed."
"Fireflow needs to be a little more user-friendly."
"The GUI has not been upgraded for a long time and could use updating."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly for low-profile users so that we can give some kind of access to specific people around the company for self-configuration of specific rules."
"The system should be more customizable."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."

"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
