AlgoSec Horizon Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate AlgoSec Horizon for its excellent visibility and control over firewall rules across our environment. Its automated risk analysis, rule optimization, and compliance reporting capabilities have significantly improved our security posture and reduced operational effort. I like its end-to-end visibility and centralized management of network security across complex multicloud and on-prem environments. The platform brings together firewall analysis, application connectivity, and risk insights into a single unified view which greatly improves security governance and decision-making processes. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy, following the steps shared by the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer is an excellent tool for ensuring firewall assurance against defined standards and compliance requirements. It provides a comprehensive, single-pane view of the entire network, making it easy to understand how policies are structured and what impact potential changes may have before they are implemented.

Additionally, the training offered by AlgoSec is very insightful and well-structured, making it especially helpful for first-time users. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the products and their capabilities, allowing teams to quickly become proficient in managing and analyzing firewall policies.

Overall, AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer is a powerful solution for improving network security posture and streamlining firewall management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial configuration can be a bit complex and time-consuming, especially in environments with multiple vendors and large, distributed networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the fact there is a procedure and we don't need to individually configure the firewalls. The fact that they are all mapped to applications makes it much easier for our business owner to make requests in the language that they understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a complex network design and sometime it fails to understand how the traffic flows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Algosec has proven to be a very effective tool for firewall cleanup activities, and I have been using it for this purpose for the past two years. The range of options and statistics it provides is quite good, though I have found that they are not always completely accurate. The monitoring features are also comprehensive, and I find the user interface to be especially user-friendly. Additionally, the tool is straightforward to deploy, which makes it even more convenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main concerns I have with this tool are its occasional malfunctions and the fact that statistics are sometimes not visible. There are also communication problems with the Checkpoint firewall, as certain changes either do not appear in the tool or take a long time to show up. Even when our firewalls are configured identically, the tool still struggles to communicate with one of them. Additionally, there is a significant issue with integrating Microsoft Exchange Cloud relay, which we rely on for sending weekly firewall reports. This compatibility problem is a major drawback for the tool. The TAC support is not upto the mark as they don't have proper knowledge of the tool and they have very less senior TAC support members.
