Find out what your peers are saying about AlgoSec, Tufin, Palo Alto Networks and others in Firewall Security Management."AlgoSec gives organizations the visibility and intelligence needed to make application connectivity changes confidently while managing risk and compliance."
"Reporting helps us with deliverables, areas of focus for improvement, and much more."
"ActiveChange integrates with your change workflow and ticketing system. For example, a change request is made to open port 8080. Then, if the guy who was supposed to implement that change mistakenly opened port 80, then ActiveChange will say, "What was approved was 8080, but what you actually opened was 80." That actually helps to fix human errors. It helps to check everything that is being done. You can go through the analysis and see changes that were made, and AlgoSec is able to alert you immediately. Whenever there is a change, notifications are sent to the administrators because it gives you that real-time alerting and change."
"AlgoSec ASMS brings a holistic view of network firewall policy and automates firewall security management in very large-sized environments."
"I like the auto-mapping features and configuration overview. We use this for many things, but primarily for quick reactions to security events, audit, project management, and quick operational efficiencies."
"Firewall Analyzer is valuable because it makes searching our existing policies so simple."
"We now process FCRs much faster, which helps us to deliver faster and implement reworks at a quicker rate."
"The most valuable feature is that the tool is capable of simplifying firewall management and configuration in an automated fashion."
"Stability is good within the product."
"Central management system for Fortinet devices that's simple, scalable, and stable, with a straightforward setup."
"It's a scalable product."
"Fortinet FortiManager allows you to manage multiple FortiGate devices from a single console, and this is a valuable product feature."
"It is easy to manage a huge number of devices with FortiManager."
"I appreciate the ability to connect via SSH through Fortinet FortiManager to the FortiGates I manage. This feature allows me to gather information about the interfaces without having to physically connect to the device. This is a convenient aspect that I find valuable."
"You can configure it at your ease."
"The reports feature is excellent."
"I would say that the cases opened with AlgoSec could be solved faster or escalated sooner to the senior engineers/2nd or 3rd tier."
"It doesn't support all features on our firewalls. For instance, planning changes, which include net rules, doesn't work. It didn't integrate so well with the ACI network."
"I believe Active Change needs to be improved because not all products are supported, and some functions cannot be implemented by Active Change either."
"It would be easier if the network maps could be updated using the GUI portal instead of from the OS."
"I like the training available as it is very informative, but, I wish it was just available from YouTube and I could easily play it from my cell phone without additional logins."
"I would like more documents and support for the cloud firewall."
"There is huge scope for improvement in the level of support, especially around the issue of resolution time. That is the only negative point I find in the solution."
"The Flash to HTML5 rewrite has been bumpy."
"It requires a lot of resources. This is the main challenge."
"For the IPSEC tunnels, Fortimanager doesn't have all of the features that are available on Fortigate."
"The fabric for integrations or connections could be improved."
"The reporting details have room for improvement."
"I would like to be able to manage other products such as Endpoint and FortiAnalyzer through FortiManager. That is, the integration with other solutions needs to be improved."
"The solution has to be enhanced to manage new switches."
"The price always has room for improvement."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
