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.
"There are some legacy customers still using AlgoSec. The benefit is the ease in management of firewalls and rules."
"One of the features that I like about AlgoSec is the topology table. It helps us understand where the traffic flows through, where it gets interconnected, and how the traffic flows from our device to the other device."
"It enhanced the complete workflow system within six months of deployment."
"We have not seen many faults reported from our customers."
"We can easily and quickly identify all of the rules on the firewall and avoid the individual review and analysis of each rule."
"The solution helps visualize and manage the hybrid network."
"We have been able to increase the effectiveness of the team, allowing them to prioritize more complex and business-critical tasks in a faster manner."
"There are some important and really nice features that I want to mention about AlgoSec. The most useful feature is instantaneous AFA reports, that you do not have to wait (at least one week or even more for a more accurate one) to get optimization recommendations about policy as many other vendors."
"The Automatic Policy Generator saves time because we are able to identify the required policy when a client doesn't know what he needs."
"The most valuable feature is alerting, which lets me know when someone has made a change."
"We use Tufin to clean up our firewall policies. This makes it a lot easier to find out the things that are wrong."
"It provides very good reports. It can easily integrate with multiple firewalls, such as Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and Checkpoint. We can push a policy from Tufin to a firewall, which is a very good feature. We can monitor all access rules and the operating system of a firewall."
"The time that we require to makes changes has been reduced from weeks to days."
"This solution helps us ensure that security policy is followed across our entire hybrid network. You can have a Unified Security Policy which reaches across all networks, so if you are having a change submitted, it doesn't matter if you're enforcing it or not. You can get an alert saying, "This is a violation." That's a value-add."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"It has helped us to meet our compliance mandates. We have some requirements that we need to provide more visibility on the risk levels of our firewall base and Tufin helped us with that requirement."
"At the integration point, a manual page could be added to the dashboard where directions about the products are explained in detail."
"The HA solution is not good."
"In terms of additional features in the next release, more integration with SD-WAN would be valuable."
"Improve the dashboarding capability for FireFlow which is currently very limited in terms of presentation and customisation."
"I would like to see enhanced dashboards or build meaningful reports for executive consumption."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"The risky rules reporting should have more information available in the risky rules report - especially when you export the data into a .CSV format. .CSV format being a text-based visualization, some information and formatting cause the reports to lose meaning and only become just another character in the file since it cannot port over some properties (like severity represented by colors)."
"Cisco Firepower device support is limited in our AlgoSec system and I think AlgoSec can improve in that area."
"I would like to see an improved reporting model that can be flexible for us to generate our own reports. The data's already there."
"At least in our environment, the dynamic learning of the topology needs improvement."
"We would like Tufin to have interoperability with Juniper products, along with official support."
"I would like to see more expansion into the cloud and documentation needs improvement. When I try to do something new in the product, the documentation is no help. Something's written there, but it's not enough to help you do what you want to do."
"The reports could be easier to read and more customizable. Also, capturing some of the different versions, and being able to dig through them could be a bit better."
"It would be better if they modernized the web GUI. The web interface GUI is simple and not complicated, but it's also too old."
"I would like to see more configuration options on next-generation firewalls, defining possible standards for devices."
"I would like more enforcement. Right now. it's a lot of alerting. You see it in Tufin, but you have to go to Check Point or whatever device to make the actual action."
