We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and AWS Firewall Manager 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."Detection of malicious activities and malware is much better than other options."
"The training provided by AlgoSec helps a lot in the development of employees who work with the tool."
"We need less time to identify any risks in our firewalls, as we can detect changes in real-time."
"The features that are most valuable are the interactive topology map and the traffic simulation queries."
"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."
"AlgoSec has improved our organization in terms of improving efficiency within our firewall setup. It has added automation to working process that has helped us achieve our initial goal of reacting faster to incoming requests, which as a result of allows the relevant teams time to focus on other areas of importance."
"This has helped to restrict rules, delete rules that are too permissive, and create a configuration that complies with our security policy."
"ABF is application-centric. which helps to track changes in the application from day one."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"It would be nice if it was more variable when checking virtual domain baseline in the same way as Fortigate's firewalls do."
"I like the training available as it is very informative, but, I wish it was just available from YouTube and I could easily play it from my cell phone without additional logins."
"We have a complaint about the compliance check, in that sometimes we want to keep rules rather than merge them."
"All our firewalls were renamed, and AlgoSec saw these devices as new devices. As a result, all the reports from the same device but with the old hostname were no longer connected. AlgoSec did not clean up the old reports as well. After a few days, it depleted its own storage, and then, the server became inaccessible."
"The license rekeying needed for when you need to change a firewall usually takes a bit of time."
"I would like to seem improvements in performance and software stability."
"AlgoSec can probably do better at introducing features for the cloud firewall scenarios. This is something that will probably help customers. It needs a hybrid scenario that includes private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem things. If a feature could cover all three different types of deployment, that could probably make it even more desirable for clients."
"It would be very helpful to have a direct link to the relevant firewall policy embedded within reports when there are warnings or risks indicated."
"The system should be more customizable."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"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."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
