We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and Tufin based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Although the setup and support could use some improvement for both solutions, the easy integration with widely used firewalls put AlgoSec slightly ahead of Tufin.
"The most valuable feature is that the tool is capable of simplifying firewall management and configuration in an automated fashion."
"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."
"It now takes less than half of the time it took before we had this tool to deploy the flows requested by the business."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to deploy new rules in all of the firewalls included in the environment at one time."
"If you go through that compliance report, it will give you whether your firewall is in compliance or not. It will also give you a recommendation whether you need to change it. The compliance has helped us with customers, e.g., internal audit from the quality team and external auditors."
"Optimizing the operation making it possible to focus on other improvements."
"AlgoSec has helped us save time by having one central location to view firewall policies, especially when crossing multiple vendors."
"Thanks to this visibility, I was able to do my rule optimization."
"This solution provides a more organized manner for us to track towards compliance for our PCI audits."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance check and the recommendations that it makes."
"We find it to be flexible. If we have a change that needs to be done, it will go ahead and do it for all our devices, regardless of the manufacturer that we have associated with it."
"Our engineers save quite a bit of time that was previously spent on manual processes."
"The stability is bulletproof."
"We are using the visibility with notifications on every firewall change and what those changes were. We have visibility to see who is making the changes, and when."
"Tufin allows our say junior guys to learn how to view policies. It gives them a tool that will help them consolidate and optimize."
"Comparing the rules and policy browser is valuable to me. It gives me the ability to pull running configs and be able to analyze them without having to go directly into the firewall."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"The documentation could be better."
"We would like to see them utilize the cloud to help with performance improvement, and with various processes needed on a daily basis."
"I would like the reporting to be more customizable, as per user and auditing needs."
"Advanced analytics and reporting capabilities that provide deeper insights into network traffic, security policy effectiveness, compliance, and risk management can be beneficial."
"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."
"I would like to seem improvements in performance and software stability."
"They've got such a large number of APIs, and it is so easy to use their APIs. Effectively, they allow us to use it with anything. The only way to improve it more is by offering support for implementing their APIs into certain hardware or software that we might use. They can provide support for implementing APIs."
"There are at least two things that need improvement. One is the business workflow and the second is the integration with logging solutions."
"The key area for improvement is the integration to F5. One of the things that we encountered with another customer is that there were some limitations when we tried to migrate policies from F5 into Tufin."
"Currently, we have to get different data from different sections of the site. It would be nice if it was all combined into one."
"I would like easier integration with more automation."
"They are sort of at the pilot stage on some of their products. I saw the Orca and Iris products yesterday. My initial impression of these products were that they were good products, but I felt like some of their features overlapped with SecureTrack and SecureChange, which they are already doing. So, I just wondered what direction they're going in? I understand that they are cloud products, but are these security products going to overlap each other's features at some point? This is my initial concern."
"The solution does not have automation with other Firewalls."
"It does not natively support all of the Check Point functions which is a big deal."
