Mostafiz Miah - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integration features and is user-friendly
What is happening in sometimes, if any issues found in the tool, ManageEngine takes time to provide a proper fix, but it does not happen most of the time. If there is a need to get some customized report or feature, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer team takes some time. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. From a product point of view, the tool is good, user-friendly, and offers easy installation and easy configuration.
Sajid Mukhtar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a graphical overview of our network and is easy to deploy, but needs a user-friendly interface and a feature for compliance audit policy
Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I found the reporting to be useful because not only can I go back months, but it lists the individual URLs and the time that a particular person visited."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool compared to other solutions."
"Firewall Analyzer is easy to work with."
"Firewall Analyzer helps our organization to fulfill the compliance requirement as per ISO 27001, managing the network security effectively."
"The most valuable features of the ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer are the monitoring of the full management of the network elements and the inventory of the infrastructure."
"Overall the solution does a good job."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
 

Cons

"ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer can improve by having better monitoring of all features from firewalls. We are using Kibana in order to monitor parts that this solution does not record. For example, having more correlation and proactive monitoring in some activity or scenario."
"The solution lacks a lot of features that other products have in the marketplace."
"It would be awesome if the product could monitor services for applications."
"The stability is so-so. There are always memory issues, but the solution is working great apart from that."
"If there is a need to get some customized report or anything, ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer takes some time."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
