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."AlgoSec has improved our organization in terms of improving efficiency within our firewall setup. It has added automation to working process that has helped us achieve our initial goal of reacting faster to incoming requests, which as a result of allows the relevant teams time to focus on other areas of importance."
"We now have baseline and rules checking."
"It improves audibility and security by having instant access to firewall configurations."
"AlgoSec ASMS brings a holistic view of network firewall policy and automates firewall security management in very large-sized environments."
"It saves time by allowing administrators to test network traffic and pinpoint which rules are being triggered for a particular traffic flow."
"The complete and end-to-end visibility and analysis it provides of the policy rule base is invaluable and saves countless time and effort."
"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."
"We are currently in a rule base performance improvement process and AlgoSec is an invaluable tool to accomplish this."
"The Fortianalyzer is the most valuable aspect of this solution"
"This is a vast system that includes a lot of features."
"FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed."
"The solution is scalable because they have models that allow it to be right sized."
"I have found centralized administration, cloud UI, and visibility and security on all networks valuable features."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The template will save time from being wasted on load balancing."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is easy to use."
"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 FireFlow's out-of-the-box workflow configuration/customization wizard could be improved to be more user-friendly and have a shorter learning curve."
"ABF is not very mature compare to AFA and AFF, but the module and concepts are quite good. I would suggest more concentration on ABF, especially on object and application permissions."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a good tool for network map discovery in the GUI to make it more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more object-based reports on groups and object usage."
"I would like to be able to see what objects have the same IP, but different names in different firewalls."
"To be more specific, when we tried to add some devices on AlgoSec it seemed to be done but when you checked the monitor section, some device was always red. Finally, we could handle this part by installing a new software fix but AlgoSec support was weak when we tried to handle this process."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients."
"We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall."
"The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved."
"The console or demonstration tool could be more user friendly."
"We needed to do some training to be able to implement Fortinet FortiGate Cloud and after the training, we did the implementation in-house."
"The platform's reporting and analysis capabilities need improvement."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
