AlgoSec and Skybox Security Suite compete in the network security management space. AlgoSec seems to have an upper hand in firewall rule optimization and compliance, whereas Skybox Security Suite excels in vulnerability management and scalability to support hybrid environments.
Features: AlgoSec offers detailed firewall rule analysis, optimization, and traffic simulation queries to enhance network security. Its reporting features and compliance capabilities provide valuable insights and recommendations. FireFlow automates workflow to reduce manual tasks. Skybox Security Suite focuses on vulnerability management, offering comprehensive network visibility and risk management. Its centralized dashboard supports the management of thousands of devices, allowing efficient handling of hybrid network environments.
Room for Improvement: AlgoSec could improve integration with more firewall vendors and cloud environments, alongside user experience and support services. Enhancing compatibility with identity awareness and detailed reporting is also needed. Skybox Security Suite could benefit from a more intuitive user interface and better customer support. Optimizing deployment configurations across various platforms and increasing licensing flexibility, especially regarding specific firewall features, is desirable.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: AlgoSec is primarily deployed on-premises with hybrid cloud options and receives mixed reviews for customer service, with reports of both responsiveness and resolution delays. Skybox Security Suite offers deployment flexibility with reliable customer and technical support, despite some users citing inconsistencies and a steep learning curve during initial setup.
Pricing and ROI: AlgoSec is perceived as expensive, but its ROI is justified through improved security and compliance features that translate into operational savings. Skybox Security Suite also faces pricing concerns, though its value in vulnerability management and network assurance is acknowledged. While licensing costs are high, users often find the expense worthwhile due to significant security benefits like reduced manual work and enhanced security practices.
AlgoSec should support in identifying most hit rules and re-ordering existing firewall rules - this is a very key to manage firewall CPU.
AlgoSec auto implementation came into the picture, which helped the right departments to approve policies and implementations.
