Reporting will be very helpful to understand all the existing risk in the environment and with the help of the report remediation of the risk is possible in shorter span of time. The rule implementation is simpler and identification of end to end flow can be found with algosec.

We are using it everyday to implement firewall rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlgoSec?

My workflow was greatly aided by AlgoSec's FireFlow and Firewall Analyzer, which allowed me to save a substantial amount of time that I could use for other duties. Fireflow and the Firewall Analyzer are particularly useful for automating the creation of firewall policies and optimizing your rules.

This method is essential for handling intricate networks and saving a significant amount of time. Management and implementation are simple. The process and inbuilt ticketing system, which can be altered as needed, pleased me.

In any case, I will be notified via email alerts as necessary because I use AlgoSec twice a week. Along with a knowledge base, a Doc portal that includes AlgoPedia, and a customer portal, they have prompt and helpful customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlgoSec?

Our network security operations have been greatly improved by AlgoSec, but there is still room for improvement. The difficulty of the initial configuration and setup forced us to deliver wide-ranging training. An unsupported firewall must be able to be integrated somehow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlgoSec solving and how is that benefiting you?

The management of our vital network infrastructure, which is dispersed among all branches, has greatly benefited from AlgoSec. Manual firewall rule management used to be laborious and prone to mistakes, and network security threats and compliance issues were major issues.

We used to manually manage every firewall and look for any unused rules or policies. Determine the risk before enforcing any rules that end users have asked.

A significant benefit of this procedure is assigning tasks to the appropriate team prior to implementation. Viewing the traffic flow from source to destination and determining the precise rule that is blocking the connection have also been very helpful.

Algosec provided a wide range of features, including workflow management, risk assessment, network mapping, and compliance. and numerous more, which have reduced manual labor and boosted efficiency.

AlgoSec's many features have reduced manual duties, increasing productivity. It provides a single, all-inclusive solution rather than depending on several tools, which makes it, in my opinion, the greatest option for managing intricate networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
