“Best tool for Firewall Policy Auditing”

5.0
Nov 5, 2025
We have been using Algosec on or company for more than 8 years now. Our main usage is to audit our firewall policies and get a daily report on all of them in case the report security rate for some reason drops (maybe someone added a firewall rule that has opened more accesses than it should). This helps us to have control on our firewalls and on the overall network security. It also helps us on our daily operations to understand if for example a flow from a specific source to a specific destination is already opened or not, by searching on the firewall policies using Algosec.

“Strong Automation Capabilities Yet Testing and Support Areas Require Attention”

3.0
Nov 18, 2025
While it provides excellent benefits, such as automating many of tiring and complex tasks of pushing rules to the firewall, change management process and etc, however, the product is not perfect. There can be some improvements in the products. There are some bugs which can be solved to improve the overall usability of the tool. AlgoSec Analyzer is excellent tool and most of components are working as per the design. For FireFlow, there is some scope of improvements. As, it deals with the APIs of other products. The development team needs to continuously work upon the testing with other products and modify code/product accordingly.

Performance of AlgoSec Horizon Across Market Features

AlgoSec Horizon Likes & Dislikes

Like

The feature we find the most valuable is the Firewall Analyzer for the firewall policy audits and to show external auditors we have a process to identify risks and to tackle them. It's also very important for policy clean maintenance, as we can quickly check which rules were never used, and even inside the used rules, which sources, destinations or services were never hit. This way we can have a clear policy on all our devices.

Like

The tool offers strong automation capabilities, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention and human resources. Additionally, the sales staff has been excellent in providing support and guidance throughout the process.

Like

Algosec provides deep visibility into firewall rules and network paths, helping to quickly identify redundant, conflicting or risky rules. Fireflow makes the entire firewall change process far more efficient and auditable. Approvals, implementation and validation are all streamlined. Automated Risk analysis and compliance checks against frameworks like PCI-DSS or ISO save significant time during audits. Works seamlessly across vendors like Checkpoint, Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, etc. giving a unified view of the entire network. Overall, its feature-rich and stable platform that has improved both our visibility and compliance posture for our team.

Dislike

It was quite difficult to map all our network in Algosec because we use some unsupported out of the box switches like for example Dell. If we had all our switches from Cisco everything would be smoother. But there is always some ways to put it to work.

Dislike

While the product offers valuable features, there are several areas that could benefit from enhancement: Support Process & Response Time Product Management Testing & Quality Assurance

Dislike

The product has extensive configuration options, which can be overwhelming for new admins without proper onboarding. Running very detailed reports across large rule bases can occasionally take longer than expected. Setting up integrations and defining workflows across multiple firewall vendors requires careful co-ordination. Despite these minor issues, the solution remains stable, dependable and delivers solid value once fully tuned.

    Automated Policy Analysis Improves Compliance Yet Setup Can Be Time-Consuming

    4.0
    Nov 5, 2025
    Our overall experience with Algosec has been very positive. The platform offers great visibility and control over complex firewall & network policies across our multi-vendor environments. The combination of Firewall Analyzer, Fireflow and Change Manager has helped us streamline change requests, perform faster risk assessments and ensure compliance with internal and external governance standards. The deployment was smooth, and the support team has been responsive whenever needed. The only challenge we faced was the initial learning curve; there are so many capabilities that it takes a little time to fine-tune the workflows and reporting. Once configured, the automation and policy analysis saves a huge amount of manual effort. Overall, a reliable and mature solution that delivers what it promises.
