We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and AWS Firewall Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It helps us to streamline our firewall rules, identify risks, and provide better visibility. This product has significantly saved the time and human efforts in creating and deploying firewall rules. It is now easier for our cybersecurity team to analyze firewalls rules and ACLs, using them in a more efficient manner."
"We can easily and quickly identify all of the rules on the firewall and avoid the individual review and analysis of each rule."
"AlgoSec's ability to integrate with various security and networking solutions enhances its overall value."
"It saves time by allowing administrators to test network traffic and pinpoint which rules are being triggered for a particular traffic flow."
"AlgoSec contributes more in the security space for our company, especially in automatically finding the high risk and medium risk rules instead of manually reviewing over a few thousand rules."
"FireFlow continues to drive customer efficiencies, allowing an organisation to keep up with the pace of change."
"It has the ability to create architectures improving performance and reducing costs."
"AFA provides project teams with a simplified way to obtain the status on their current rule set."
"AWS Firewall Manager isn't a separate solution when you create the virtual private cloud (VPC), so you can control the traffic through that security group."
"Once this solution is set up, we hardly have to touch it."
"Also, the strength of the community is invaluable."
"The interface is intuitive and it is easy for the users."
"It has centralized cloud firewall management rules. It provides compliance in tracking and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the centrally managed rule. I also like the central orchestration."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"The documentation could be better."
"I would like to see Bi-Directional API support in order to integrate with SOAR platforms that provide SOC automation and IRR."
"We don't dare push the new policy automatically, We don't have confidence in this feature."
"The simulation can be improved."
"I would like to see AWS add some UTM features to the firewall. It would also be great if AWS Firewall had native IPS/IDS. They have the separate IPS/IDS, GuardDuty."
"It needs to be more employee-friendly, and the security management could be more efficient."
"The system should be more customizable."
"This solution is suitable for a small-scale enterprise and may not scale up to a very high volume of traffic or a large number of servers."
"They could consider organizing and enhancing documentation in a more structured and chronological manner"
"Enabling and configuring the logging is not that straightforward."
