How Alternatives Are Selected

1. AlgoSec Horizon

4.5

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.

2. NetBrain Next-Gen

By NetBrain

4.5

(194 Ratings)

This tool was a welcome addition for our networking team as they finally had a tool that would help reduce the number of inbound questions to them regarding how things were mapped or worked. The network mapping and being able to visualize it really helped to streamline these conversations with end users as well as trouble shooting as path analysis was more easily done along with performance monotiring for any spikes or blocks. We really enjoyed being able to finally expose our network not only as a generated map but at times a live map to really make things transparent for all team members. This helped our network team to not only visualize but also in real time trouble shoot bottle necks before issues impacted more of our network.
