    Considered Both Products
    AlgoSec
    Chose AlgoSec
    Algosec has multi vendor support including cisco aci, nsx, aws and azure security groups. While most other vendors are lacking in the spectrum of the vendors. The ROI is best on this product.

    Chose AlgoSec
    Algosec is user-friendly and easy to implement and manage. The best part is it can be installed on-premises as well as on the cloud. It visualizes the complex networks and creates a dynamic network topology map. Using Firewall Analyzer, security and operations teams can …

    FireMon
    Chose FireMon
    AlgoSec and Tufin both are good tools but the cost involved for what they offer as services led us to go with Firemon.
    Incentivized
    Chose FireMon
    I has worked with AlgoSec and while they are very similar product, I find the FireMon is easier to understand and get rolling with. While both require some learning, FireMon is by far the easier one. Once you have an understanding of how things are arranged and labeled you can …

    Chose FireMon
    To be blunt, at the time of purchase most of these products appeared to do the same things in the same ways. What really brought us to the table with FireMon six years ago was their willingness to earn our business, and to this day they remain just as committed to keeping our …

    AlgoSec is a great tool, lower in cost as well.

    FireMon has alot of capabilites, but our organization is not ready or have a use case yet for those features.

    Chose FireMon
    We performed a head-to-head PoC between FireMon and AlgoSec several years ago. Both platforms were well developed, but FireMon had the upper hand in three areas:
    1. Its UI was more unified and intuitive across the different components and products
    2. The reporting was better suited …

    Chose FireMon
    AlgoSec and Tufin both have initial issues during the POC stage, and FireMon even though with the changes they have made still works better and is more user friendly.

    Chose FireMon
    I already had experience with the Tufin and AlgoSec products, and the customization that FireMon provides is just not available with the other products. The licensing of FireMon over AlgoSec is another winner for us.
    Incentivized
    Chose FireMon
    Technically speaking FireMon Security Manager scored higher than the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer. It is also less expensive than other solutions.

    Chose FireMon
    FireMon has the most supported devices.
    The UI is easy to use and intuitive.
    There is a comprehensive list of built in compliance controls that are missing in the competition.

    Chose FireMon
    We were impressed with FireMon's native cloud support and compliance reporting, in looking at other vendors we were not too impressed by their ability to support cloud-native technologies and their reporting was less than stellar. We did not want a solution that would last only …

    Chose FireMon
    For our use case, only FireMon met our needs with the systems we use.
