Digital Shadows vs. FireMon vs. ZeroFOX

DS is fantastic for big and large-medium companies, it has many very featured functions and works very well. It's a little bit expensive for small and little-medium companies.

Incentivized

FireMon is best used in a large environment (for example, I have >100
firewalls in my environment). It's best used when trying to improve
security posture and showing changes in firewall security over time. It
might not be the best choice for smaller environments or those that aren't concerned about security management.

ZeroFOX is well suited for companies who want to track and takedown accounts that are impersonating them but isn’t so great for personal use - it’s built well for medium large companies who have a large workload.

Incentivized

• We found company emails used for personal uses.
• We found internal documents in deep web.
• We found news and information about the company managers on social media not delivered by the company.

Incentivized

• Give good real time reporting for anyone making a change to any of our firewalls
• Provides good reporting tools that are out of box
• Provide good customization tools that is specific to our needs
• Upgrades are a simple process and support does relatively well with assisting us.

Incentivized

• Great overall picture of all accounts that aren’t protected by our company.
• UI is very easy to use and quick clicks let you navigate to where to need to be efficiently.
• Very fast customer service - we have a company partner that responds quickly and to the point.

Incentivized

• I'd like to have still more features for searching on social media.
• I'd like to have a better interface for configuration.
• It's expensive for middle and small companies, I'd like to have a reduced-features version for them.

Incentivized

• Some features could be added to the existing functionality which include NAT rules usage
• Rule expiration normalization from firewalls rather than entering them in rule documentation
• .csv exports of the files from the firewall pane only gives usage for 30 days by default and that should be increased

Incentivized

• Would like to see email integration within the system if possible.
• Would be great to have language options within the system for quick translations.

Solved the problems of my customers and permitted to clearly demonstrate these problems to management.

The shell is locked out and we can't run any general centos commands. The implementation and maintainence of the arch is very complex. Even with the right identifiers on log messages the log collection keeps failing. The warning messages on the device are ambiguous. The log messages on firemon are a bit confusing and don't show the exact issue.

Incentivized

It's very easy to use, also non-technical users can understand the information to use for search and results, initial configuration is less easy to configure but just a little.

Incentivized

It save me time and I'm able to have the review - review the rule independently with using my time.

FireMon has been relatively stable overall. However, there have been a handful of times where we had issues with the console. For example, we couldn't update which devices to include in a security assessment. The initial suggestion from support was to just reboot it. It seems like there weren't many other options available such as to restart services before going to the extreme of a complete reboot.

Incentivized

I'm not sure we have the largest implementation of FireMon out there but we do have a few 1000 devices being probed by FireMon. Overall, the system's performance has been rock solid. The console refreshes quickly and reports are generated within an expected timeframe.

They are very available and competent, in addition, they used people with a good knowledge of the Italian language that helped very much, especially with the first customer.

FireMon technical support is awesome! They respond quickly to our requests and they are well trained and very knowledgeable about the tool. Some issues have to be referred to the development team, but technical support largely provides solutions for any issues that we may have.

Incentivized

As I said: ease of use, scanningg of deep web and social media, results easy to understand and use.

Incentivized

Implementation is fairly simple. Most issues can be resolved by referencing manuals.

The other product didn't have searches on Social Media.

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 easily import firewalls and begin to work on them to improve them

Incentivized

Firemon Is easily scalable and maintainable with any size team. Although it requires some tech debt, it is well worth the time to invest to ensure compliance is visible and reports are accurate. Although our environment is very large we do not fully utilize the scalability of the Firemon product.

Incentivized

• DS gave more visibility on the company cyber exposure.
• Results of DS searches helped to solve security holes in people's behaviour.
• Company management reached more awareness about company cyber exposure.

Incentivized

• FireMon's Compliance Reporting provided an immediate and tangible benefit
• FireMon helps identify egregious or erroneous rules quickly across multiple platforms
• FireMon took our audit process from an Excel spreadsheet into a far more advanced process with readily available context for reviewers

Incentivized

• Reducing rogue threats may have saved us from negative situations where customers may have thought an impersonating account was really us.
• Prevention of social media backlash.
