Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the Firewall Analyser, which has a number of fantastic features.""Traffic Analyzer provided the centralized view for our IT SOC operations to focus mainly on high-risk firewall rules exposing with explicit any rules.""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 detects if the requested network and ports are getting blocked by the network or firewalls by a simple query, which helps to identify the network blocking firewalls in the topology.""The training provided by AlgoSec helps a lot in the development of employees who work with the tool.""AlgoSec supports a wide range of devices and is constantly working to include support for many other vendor devices.""It assists us in network security reviews and audits.""We can easily and quickly identify all of the rules on the firewall and avoid the individual review and analysis of each rule."

"Overall the solution does a good job.""Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively.""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.""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.""Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."

Cons
"Environments with many devices need a lot of hardware resources to avoid slowdowns.""We have a complaint about the compliance check, in that sometimes we want to keep rules rather than merge them.""It can be optimized. There is a lot of RPA and we have scripts in AlgoSec that need recertification. With AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer, we can see lots of objects and lots of rules that tell us we need to clean the equipment. It will give us a solution but it doesn't always work. The solution that it gives us is not always accurate from the scripts.""Further integration with ACI and NSX will be key to our customers' requirements moving forward, as customers adopt new, innovative environments.""I would like an intelligent tuner where it could help update rules with the application ID.""The process to replace a decommissioned device with a new device is not straightforward.""In a complex landscape, with several nodes/equipment, it can be somewhat more difficult to properly visualize the network map.""There is huge scope for improvement in the level of support, especially around the issue of resolution time. That is the only negative point I find in the solution."

More AlgoSec Cons →

"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications.""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.""The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that.""The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace.""If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
