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.
"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."
"We now process FCRs much faster, which helps us to deliver faster and implement reworks at a quicker rate."
"It helps in regulatory compliance metrics and overall firewall security optimization."
"Security ratings and security rules analysis are valuable features."
"It has reduced the workload for the firewall team thanks to the API integration with our ticketing system, handling the standard types of requests automatically."
"The automation of the firewall rule deployment, working together with our ticketing system, is the most valuable feature of this solution. The needs as required by a user request are automatically validated and configured in the specified firewalls without any human action."
"AlgoBot is a brilliantly, simple idea that lets us give our IT internal customers a way to check if rules are already in place before asking for more."
"AlgoSec Firewall Analyser improves the firewall rules dramatically by identifying rules and objects that are not needed and consolidates rules and rule re-ordering."
"We have a better view of our compliance status."
"The APIs are the most valuable feature of this solution, as they facilitate integration with ServiceNow and other solutions."
"SecureChange makes our lives easier with automation."
"I don't think that we were ever slow, but we can now say that changes are completed within twenty-four hours."
"The change workflow process is very easy to customize. You can do a workflow however you want, so you can have an approval every single step. Or, you can remove approvals on certain steps, automating some steps."
"The visibility is huge. In order to figure out what was going on previously, we would have to pull stuff out of firewalls and put them in spreadsheets, then do sorts. Now, it's all right there in Tufin. We can write reports to look for what we need, ad hoc searches to find object groups, and know which firewalls are on. This was almost impossible to do previously."
"One of the biggest quick wins that we had with Tufin was cleaning up our firewall policies and rules. We cleaned out a lot of rules which helped our devices, longevity-wise, as well as speed-wise."
"It is an important application for controlling and monitoring firewall rules. It is useful for making and monitoring the changes."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly for low-profile users so that we can give some kind of access to specific people around the company for self-configuration of specific rules."
"It would be great if the product could be more simplified when defining the rules."
"We would like to see them utilize the cloud to help with performance improvement, and with various processes needed on a daily basis."
"This product could be improved in several ways including more device support, an automated rollback process and options in active push, software-defined WAN integration and support, and application-aware policy identification and optimization."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"There is room for improvement in the rollback process."
"The product is severely lacking in vendor support."
"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."
"This solution increases the time it takes to make changes."
"We will be using the appliance based product, which cannot be scaled as much. It is a limitation in the hardware."
"The pricing of the solution is rather expensive."
"I would like something that addresses security in the cloud."
"I would also like to see them do more cloud integration within the Tufin Orchestration Suite, not within a SaaS solution."
"The product should integrate with the UTM features."
"I would like to see API access into every aspect of Tufin."
"It needs better reporting with more graphics and more pie charts, so management can understand details. The reports that are done now are full of data and management would like to have an image to help understand, right away, what the reports are saying."
