AlgoSec Horizon Private Offering only

My main use case for AlgoSec  is approving tickets. I approve firewall requests and check if any other modifications are needed.

The best features AlgoSec  offers include a nice workflow and the approval processes, along with the way the ticket progresses through the system.

I think the new AI bot will make it easier, which has positively impacted my organization. Our team is waiting for the new AI bot to be specialized to our team's requirements, so we are not yet using it at this time.

I think AlgoSec can be improved as it runs a bit slow. I notice the slowness most when the home page loads very slowly.

I have been using AlgoSec for the past two years.

AlgoSec is stable in my experience.

I think AlgoSec can be scalable; it is easy to scale it up.

My advice for others looking into using AlgoSec is to carefully consider its capabilities. I would rate this review as one out of ten.

My main use case for AlgoSec  is in firewall policy management and change optimization, where I review pending firewall change requests and analyze the impact of the requested access to verify that it complies with security policy.

The best feature AlgoSec  offers is the ability to automate firewall policy management while maintaining security and compliance.

FireFlow helps us automate firewall change request approval workflows and achieve zero-touch policy deployment, while the Security Analyzer feature is very useful for identifying risk, unused, and duplicate firewall rules.

Multi-vendor and hybrid cloud support stands out to me, as this feature provides centralized management for multiple firewall vendors and supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments from a single console.

AlgoSec positively impacts my organization by simplifying the effect of firewall changes before implementation, helping us identify affected firewalls, and highlighting potential security risks, which is beneficial to my organization.

It helps us achieve several outcomes such as time savings and reduced errors by providing an identification and alerting system, as well as improved compliance, so the compliance team does not have to directly manage everything.

If I had to mention something, the customer support can be improved and the user interface can be made more user-friendly.

I choose nine out of ten because the features, impact, and risk analysis provided by AlgoSec are very good, but to achieve a perfect ten, they need to improve their customer support and user-friendly interface for upcoming new users.

Customer support is good, but it can definitely be improved.

I have been using AlgoSec for approximately one and a half years, and my primary responsibilities include firewall policy analyzation, rule optimization, risk assessment, compliance reporting, and reviewing for security policy changes.

AlgoSec is very stable.

AlgoSec is really scalable for security needs and all the features I have already mentioned.

Customer support is good, but it can definitely be improved.

I would rate the customer support a seven.

I evaluated AlgoSec through a POC, and I found it good, which is why I directly chose AlgoSec.

We have seen a return on investment with AlgoSec, as it has saved us a significant amount of time and fewer employees are needed.

I do not find any issues with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing, so it was good.

AlgoSec can provide accurate and reliable recommendations for policy analysis and risk assessment, but all output should be validated before implementation.

I strongly recommend others looking into using AlgoSec to do so, especially if they are using various firewalls and similar platforms, as you should definitely use AlgoSec.

I provide this review with a rating of nine out of ten.

I have been using AlgoSec  for five years in the same ExxonMobil client, and for daily operations, we utilize AlgoSec  as a tool extensively.

We primarily use AlgoSec because we have a large number of firewalls and firewall rules. To fetch data, check rules, optimize, and ensure baseline compliance, we use AlgoSec. For example, if we want to troubleshoot any issues with a customer, we take inputs such as source IPs, destination IPs, and a port, and we open AlgoSec and search. This allows us to find the relevant firewall and access control policies, including rules and ACLs. We dig into the firewall, log in, and perform troubleshooting. AlgoSec is mainly useful for troubleshooting purposes, especially since we manage over 2,000 firewalls including FortiGate and ASA  firewalls. Additionally, we use it for baseline compliance checks, and it helps us identify whether SNMP, syslog, and other compliance requirements are met. We also rely on AlgoSec to track any recent changes in firewalls and access historical records of changes.

Apart from troubleshooting and baseline compliance, we also use AlgoSec for performance reports, but that is about it. Other than this, we do not utilize AlgoSec for different purposes.

The ease of finding firewall rules has greatly impacted my daily work because we manage nearly 2,000 firewalls. During troubleshooting, it saves us a lot of time. Before AlgoSec, we had to ask the user for their location, and based on that, we would perform a traceroute and search for the LAN port switch connected to the firewall. We needed to log into the firewall to check things manually. However, since we started using AlgoSec five years ago, the troubleshooting process has become very easy and flexible, saving us a significant amount of time and reducing stress.

If we have an existing source and a new destination, instead of creating a new rule, we can search for the source in AlgoSec to find the corresponding firewall. Instead of adding a new rule, we can check in AlgoSec and realize we already have a source, and we just need to add a destination. This capability to fetch data from a central database management system has helped us reduce the number of ACLs we need to manage, and I really appreciate this aspect of AlgoSec.

The best features AlgoSec offers include various optimization capabilities and compliance checks.

I rely heavily on the compliance reporting that AlgoSec provides because we have many firewalls where the required compliance is often not met. We primarily use it for compliance reporting and change tracking because there are many instances where analysts make mistakes during changes. To track changes, we immediately log into AlgoSec and search for the source and destination IPs to identify the firewall and review the last changes made. Overall, we rely on change tracking as well as risk assessment and compliance reporting. If we notice that SNMP or syslog reports are not generated, we pursue baseline compliance and resolve those issues. The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is change tracking, which helps us manage potential production issues effectively.

AlgoSec has positively impacted our organization significantly in terms of security, compliance, and efficiency. When I compare before and after implementing AlgoSec, I note that we have around 2,000 firewalls. Before AlgoSec, we struggled to trace and identify issues, but with AlgoSec, we can now quickly locate and resolve firewall rules, which has enhanced our operational efficiency. Regarding compliance, we previously dealt with many manual reports for baseline compliance, which was cumbersome. Now, with AlgoSec, it generates automated reports that clearly show how many firewalls are compliant or not, leading to substantial improvements in performance, compliance, and overall efficiency.

Regarding specific metrics, I can say our baseline compliance checks used to involve up to 70 or 80 firewalls needing manual inspection. Since we started using AlgoSec, we have been able to reduce that number to about four or five in a month, effectively transitioning from a manual reporting system to a much more manageable single-digit compliance issue count.

I have noticed that while AlgoSec handles logging and reports well for FortiGate, which significantly aids troubleshooting via a centralized database, it would be highly beneficial if AlgoSec could offer similar capabilities for all vendors including Cisco FTD and Juniper. A central management system for troubleshooting akin to a FortiAnalyzer would be extremely advantageous for us.

AlgoSec is deployed on-premises in our organization, although it sometimes operates slowly. When performance issues arise, they increase the CPU and storage, and there are plans to migrate it to a private cloud soon, which is currently in progress.

AlgoSec is generally stable. However, it occasionally hangs, and during those times, the network management platform team restarts it. They explain that this happens due to high load conditions in AlgoSec.

I have been working in the current field for five years, and I am working with the ExxonMobil client at Infosys as a network security engineer for the same duration.

AlgoSec is generally stable. However, it occasionally hangs, and during those times, the network management platform team restarts it. They explain that this happens due to high load conditions in AlgoSec.

I am confident that AlgoSec will handle our growing needs as we expand our network. Although we are decommissioning firewalls that are no longer useful and moving some to the cloud, I believe AlgoSec's scalability will adequately meet our requirements.

The customer support provided by AlgoSec is very good. Whenever we encounter issues, they promptly assist us. Our network management team communicates with them directly to resolve any issues related to AlgoSec.

We did not have any alternative solutions before AlgoSec. We were without any prior solutions before implementing AlgoSec.

I believe our management did not evaluate any other options because they recognized that AlgoSec would be the best fit for our environment due to our extensive number of firewalls.

Compared to my previous work experiences with other solutions, I give AlgoSec a rating of 10 out of 10.

I choose 10 out of 10 because I know the challenges we faced in finding firewalls and troubleshooting without AlgoSec. The ease it provides now is a significant improvement compared to my earlier experiences.

Regarding AlgoSec's AI capabilities, I find them quite impressive and beneficial, particularly given the current advancements in AI technology, which enhance AlgoSec's functionality. On the security front, AlgoSec has robust security and governance features that I appreciate.

The accuracy and reliability of output from AlgoSec are excellent. In comparison to my earlier experiences without AI and without AlgoSec, I notice a drastic improvement in accuracy and overall utility in our day-to-day operations.

I always recommend AlgoSec to others because it is essential for firewall rule optimization, firewall management, security, and compliance. I encourage other companies that do not have AlgoSec to consider implementing it.

My main use case for AlgoSec  is as a firewall analyzer whereby I use it to detect any changes that are made to my firewalls or my network devices to see what changes are made.

When there are changes on AlgoSec , I get an alert about those changes, and I review those changes and specifically ask the people that make those changes for their approval or the change request that allowed them to apply those changes.

Coupled with those compliance checks, AlgoSec detects changes relating to various aspects, and I can review those changes to determine their acceptability.

The features that stand out to me the most in AlgoSec include a streamlined process for searching, allowing me to filter configurations quickly and understand what is happening in the network. I use AlgoSec every time I am reviewing an alert or events, and I need to check what permissions exist on the firewall. The positive impact of AlgoSec on my organization is that all changes are recorded and monitored, and any unauthorized user can be flagged based on reviews, helping mitigate internal threats.

AlgoSec has helped reduce response time significantly because I can easily check the platform for changes instead of manually liaising with stakeholders.

I think AlgoSec can be improved in that it requires analysts to fully understand the context of internal changes flagged to avoid unnecessary panic.

I find the interface and documentation of AlgoSec good enough, but I would appreciate an API integration for automated searches and data enrichment.

I have not explored AlgoSec's AI capabilities much, but I feel it could analyze firewall changes and might help with labeling system and user behaviors.

I have been using AlgoSec since I started working, and I have been using AlgoSec for more than five years now.

I think I have covered all that I use AlgoSec for, and to me, it is just a great product that helps me see whatever is going on in my environment.

Every organization should actually use AlgoSec because it helps oversee changes in their environment and ensures that nothing changes without approval.

AlgoSec is a good product overall that I would highly recommend for maintaining compliance and security. I gave this review a rating of seven out of ten because of challenges like API integration and the need for clearer reporting to distinguish between system actions and user actions.

I think I have mentioned all improvements needed for AlgoSec that concern me for now.
