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."The training provided by AlgoSec helps a lot in the development of employees who work with the tool."
"Proactively assess the impact of network changes to ensure security and continuous compliance."
"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."
"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."
"Optimizing the operation making it possible to focus on other improvements."
"This has helped to restrict rules, delete rules that are too permissive, and create a configuration that complies with our security policy."
"I think finding the firewall's rules with the highest risk is valuable."
"AlgoSec gives us a high level of confidence that our ACLs and our risk components are actually in line with our expectations. Because we run a lot of our firewalls as an internal change control boundary, we rely on them heavily to segregate vendor networks. It gives us a high level of confidence that those third-party networks that ride on the backbone are segregated and appropriately defined."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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 interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"Creating more intuitive menus could be helpful, especially for first-time users."
"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."
"We don't dare push the new policy automatically, We don't have confidence in this feature."
"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."
"We would like to see more features in the GUI so that we don't have to work with the API as extensively."
"To secure SaaS traffic there are a few vendors such as Palo Alto and Zscaler, but AlgoSec is not yet able to push rules onto these clouds."
"The product could be improved by adding additional tools for troubleshooting, not only for the firewall, but for other devices like switch and dynamic routing display. Also, it would be good if it could retrieve all information regarding Cisco Nexus switches and devices."
"We are running multiple hybrid cloud solutions, working with cloud providers, and looking for API integrations with cloud and related interoperability. Sometimes, when we are trying to delete or disable any rule, it takes more time than expected."
"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."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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"
