Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."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."
"AlgoSec supports a wide range of devices and is constantly working to include support for many other vendor devices."
"The most valuable features are the FW report, traffic simulation, and the FireFlow system to help manage requests."
"Auditors can get PDF or CSV reports without having to give them access to firewalls."
"It enhanced the complete workflow system within six months of deployment."
"This Appliance gives you the full Network MAP, which is obtainable from the Routing table."
"It lowers the burden of the security department."
"The initial setup process is excellent."
"I like the rapid deployment feature. I also like that it's easy to troubleshoot. FortiManager is amazing because we can have a centralized policy. All our devices are integrated, and we can also engage in troubleshooting. We can use it for different deployments. One fantastic feature is the ability to create a version and deploy it immediately."
"It makes management very easy."
"The capability of centralized management is valuable. We can configure all firewall boxes with the same configuration."
"The features are good."
"Stability is good within the product."
"The integration is quite good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiManager are the overall management it provides and its ease of use."
"The GUI has not been upgraded for a long time and could use updating."
"Algosec does not support vendors like Sophos, SonicWall, Forecepoint, and so on."
"We needs object level permissions and application level recertifications."
"Support can be improved as there are time delays for resolutions."
"have also heard a few qualms about the technical support and that it could be improved. However, this doesn't detract from the value the tool brings to our business."
"Initially, we found this as a complex deployment."
"We need a screen to view system logs."
"I would like more documents and support for the cloud firewall."
"The GUI could be updated. It's not as good as it could be and is something the solution should improve in an upcoming release."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other solutions other than Fortinet."
"It would be better if it were easier to run a routing protocol. In the next release, I would like them to enhance some features in the GUI rather than CLI or OSP. For example, whenever a customer generates an ISP directly on the firewall, it's complicated to configure the routing protocol."
"Fortinet is releasing quite a lot of new versions and I would say that most of the versions are not well tested before they're pushed out. Even the new versions sometimes are a bit buggy before it's all correct."
"It's a difficult process to transfer one interface from one virtual domain to another."
"The price always has room for improvement."
"This solution needs more experienced technical support staff. There's nothing special about it compared to other vendors."
"It requires a lot of resources. This is the main challenge."
