AlgoSec and Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are leading solutions in the cybersecurity domain. AlgoSec is favored for its comprehensive reporting and policy optimization capabilities, offering network visualization and risk assessments, while Fortinet FortiGate Cloud stands out for its robust cloud integration and security features, including VPN and intrusion prevention.
Features: AlgoSec provides comprehensive reporting, policy optimization, and network topology visualization, including risk assessment tools. It offers traffic simulation and regulatory compliance features, making it invaluable for detailed network insights. Fortinet FortiGate Cloud excels with features like VPN, intrusion prevention, and web filtering, ensuring a streamlined security environment with a strong focus on seamless cloud integration.
Room for Improvement: AlgoSec needs to enhance its reporting capabilities and improve integration with additional vendors, including Fortinet. Wider support for automation features is also necessary. Fortinet FortiGate Cloud requires significant improvements in analytics and reporting, along with better integration with third-party systems.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: AlgoSec is primarily on-premises and benefits from solid technical support, though it struggles with resolving technical issues promptly. Fortinet FortiGate Cloud offers both on-premises and cloud deployment options with slightly better customer service ratings, especially concerning problem-solving and responsiveness.
Pricing and ROI: AlgoSec is considered expensive with a complex licensing process based on device count, though it provides significant value through operational efficiencies and compliance. Fortinet FortiGate Cloud offers a more cost-effective solution with flexible annual licenses. Its affordability enhances ROI when compared to competitors like Cisco, and it is generally viewed as more economical.
There may not be an ROI that they specifically calculated for Fortinet, but what they do is they sit down and go, 'Hey, since we've deployed these because they're so easy to manage, I have time to do something else.'
There's a lot of return with FortiGate Cloud - it saves me a lot on configuration time, and there are a lot fewer headaches overall.
Fortinet FortiGate Cloud has improved our clients' cost savings and efficiency.
If you are specific, you'll be able to go straight through to the correct level of support.
They provide extra support for partners and they provide us with great reports.
Technical support is not the greatest. L1 support works exclusively by script, sometimes not even looking at the case to see that the info they subsequently request is already included in the initial info provided when the case was opened.
The limitation is on the hardware, which will eventually have to go once installation becomes completely virtual.
I have clients that range from 50 users up to 16,000 on this product.
If we needed to expand it, I have no doubt it would be relatively easy.
There are no bugs or glitches.
I haven't had issues with it crashing on me.
There aren't bugs or glitches.
AlgoSec should support in identifying most hit rules and re-ordering existing firewall rules - this is a very key to manage firewall CPU.
We need some integration or communication between the endpoint and the firewall.
We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls.
There's a need to improve or invest more in an application that can follow users wherever they go.
The cost of the solution was approximately $800 per year.
There's extra pricing for the UTM and the hardware cost.
Unlike other firewalls, the cost of Fortinet FortiGate is low, and the functionality is nearly identical, which is why we chose it.
AlgoSec auto implementation came into the picture, which helped the right departments to approve policies and implementations.
We also find Fortinet's hub-and-spoke setup useful because I can manage security from where I am, while the IT engineers in branch offices can handle it on their end.
The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are the IPS, SSL Wireless, and VPN.
If you have multiple sites, multiple regions, or if you have a spread of Fortinet equipment around the globe and you want to manage them all in one place, then FortiCloud is the best choice.
