FireMon is used by firewall administrators and security analysts on a regular basis. Administrators analyze proposed changes and existing rules base. Security analysts use it to audit.
  • Fast analysis of flaws in the rules set
  • Dynamic mapping
  • Normalize varied platforms into a standard appearance
  • Quickly find unused rules and objects
  • Useful canned reports
  • While you can evaluate potential changes to firewall rules, you can not implement the rules from FireMon.
  • The GUI is easy to navigate, but learning where to go for the useful features takes a little practice.
  • While the base product has reports for analyzing vulnerabilities, a separate license is required to get the full benefit.

Our primary use case for FireMon was to aid audits of firewall changes and finding weak rules. The base product meets this need 100%. Implementation is easy. Compatibility for all major vendors is present. Support is great. No regrets.

Regular audits are simple. Changing report criteria is possible, but the built-in reports were effective enough.

We have encountered no issues scaling or changing systems that feed the data. Upgrades are straight forward.
  • The primary benefit has been reducing the labor of analysis of rules in both audit and administration. Tasks that took hours now take minutes.
For our use case, only FireMon met our needs with the systems we use.

Firewall administrators on our networking team maintain FireMon. The ability to configure firewalls and routers/switches to send data is most important. The application does not require much skill to configure. FireMon technical support is also available for assistance.
  • Business control: mapping requests for change, authorization for change, and the change that was made.
  • Best Practice review: overly permissive rules, shadowed rules, use of "any", etc...
  • Change/impact analysis: changes can be review in FireMon prior to production implementation
  • The ability to add reports monitoring for specific rules that are no longer approved was unexpected, but useful.
  • We may add the module to allow pivot analysis of vulnerability data.
We use the tool frequently and it is integrated into our processes.

  • Analyst Reports
  • Third-party Reviews
Third-party reviews breaking down the features really helped pick a product. We were more interested in analysis than management.
No changes.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
  • Had to work with FireMon support and another vendor to figure out the configuration on one tool to send data.
Implementation is fairly simple. Most issues can be resolved by referencing manuals.
Not Sure
No
The local FireMon Sales Engineer who supports a different industry is always quick to help and back up support. He's the closest to us. He has just as much ownership for our problems as our assigned staff. Great team work.
  • Once configured, the pre-made reports provide immediate value.
  • The data from the reports are informative and offer insight into remediation of problems.
  • Configuring systems to send data to FireMon may take some effort and troubleshooting. At least one system required co-ordination between support from both vendors.
For the most part, using the tool is straight forward. Some of the menus could use some work on usability.
