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 features that I like are the monitoring and the alerts. It provides real-time monitoring, or at least close to real-time. I think that is important. I like its way of organizing, also. It is pretty clear. I also like their reporting structure - the way we can use AlgoSec to clear a rule base, like covering and hiding rules."
"FireFlow helped with documenting all the processes in our rule implementations."
"We met our goal by gaining visibility and automating rule creation."
"AlgoSec AFA and AFF automate lots of things for my organization."
"The most valuable features for us are the functionality it provides for our two main use cases: planning firewall changes and traffic simulation queries."
"It assists in provisioning the application rapidly, which increases the organization's revenue."
"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."
"The most valuable features are the network map, risk analysis, and tickets for firewall changes."
"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."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"A more granular approach and the possibility to separate data and show relevant data to specific key roles or key users would be a great achievement in future releases."
"The user interface could be a little more user-friendly."
"It would be nice if it was more variable when checking virtual domain baseline in the same way as Fortigate's firewalls do."
"Lacking in support of other platforms."
"I would like to see continued expansion to other firewall versions, platforms, and vendors."
"Having the ability to patch an issue as oppose to upgrading the entire suite."
"There are sometimes issues with the Risky Rules reports where the number of hits is registering zero, but we know that this is incorrect because we have checked the rules and see that they are indeed registering traffic."
"The initial cost was high for us, but we have always been behind the tech curve and cost has always been the limiting factor."
"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."
"The system should be more customizable."
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
"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."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
