We performed a comparison between AlgoSec and Skybox Security Suite 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."AlgoSec supports a wide range of devices and is constantly working to include support for many other vendor devices."
"The Firewall Analyzer component has excellent compatibility with the solution, and it's highly useful and easy to manage."
"I like that the firewall will analyze the tools within the risk profiles and the policy optimizations within the AFA. This can also be used to create reports for the customer with the risk profiles to optimize the firewall rules."
"It lowers the burden of the security department."
"The Firewall Analyser feature is the most important and valuable part of this tool. This provides quick and simple visibility on the firewall's risk assessment."
"It saves time by allowing administrators to test network traffic and pinpoint which rules are being triggered for a particular traffic flow."
"The most valuable feature is traffic simulation because, with this function, it has become more practical to know if something is released or blocked in my environment."
"FireFlow helped with documenting all the processes in our rule implementations."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"This type of tool does a great job of reaching into those other devices producing risk recommendations, compliance recommendations, and a single plane of glass to do your queries, so you can find where these rules might exist."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"Needs integration to cloud ITSM tools, such ServiceNow."
"The GUI has not been upgraded for a long time and could use updating."
"In our environment, we add rules in the files based on user logins, but currently, we can't do that with AlgoSec. AlgoSec can't create rules based on user logins. For example, generally, when we create a rule, we put IP Address, Destination IP Address, and Service Port. However, in our environment, we put IP Address, User Login, Destination IP Address, and Service Port, but AlgoSec doesn't support a rule in this format. We opened a ticket regarding this with their support two months ago, and they said that they will be able to add it in the future, but they don't know the timeframe."
"The FireFlow template does not allow the user to perform external actions like sending an email or triggering a specific action."
"I would like more documents and support for the cloud firewall."
"Due to the fact that AlgoSec's user interface is less friendly than that of other programs, it might not be appropriate for persons with little experience in security or IT."
"The HA solution is not good."
"In a complex landscape, with several nodes/equipment, it can be somewhat more difficult to properly visualize the network map."
"The support could be improved."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
