Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Customizability is AlgoSec's best feature.""Implementing firewall rules within our organization has been significantly expedited thanks to AlgoSec.""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 product gave us more agility on the process to analyze and resolve tickets by requesting permissions to access services not enabled by default.""ABF is application-centric. which helps to track changes in the application from day one.""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.""Optimizing the operation making it possible to focus on other improvements.""Setup is easy. ​Just run the script and all seems fine."

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration.""RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out.""This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

Cons
"Further integration with ACI and NSX will be key to our customers' requirements moving forward, as customers adopt new, innovative environments.""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.""It would be great if the product could be more simplified when defining the rules.""Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation.""While AlgoSec provides comprehensive visibility and management of security policies across hybrid environments, there is an opportunity to further expand its intelligence capabilities.""The user interface could be a little more user-friendly.""have also heard a few qualms about the technical support and that it could be improved. However, this doesn't detract from the value the tool brings to our business.""The only problem I have with AlgoSec is just its level of support, not with the product. Not with the organization or the documentation or anything else, but if I need any additional support, the only problem is the time it takes to get it."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency.""The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do.""Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
