The Firemon product is a platform that helps companies meet compliance requirements. It gives our network operators and engineers control and visibility over the network. With bigger organizations, the rulesets increase drastically and firemon is able to consolidate these reports into one pane or allow us to export the report to a file.

The dedicated database appliances are a bit difficult to manage and the upgrade process could use some improvements. Additionally, you can only poll performance metrics (disk space, CPU, memory, etc.) using Victoria Metrics since compatibility with SNMP has been removed. The monitoring issues make it more challenging to manage a larger environment.

FireMon's licensing model appears to constantly evolve, which at times can be frustrating when sizing your environment for scalability. I've experienced a situation where our organization was licensed for a particular feature with FireMon version X but not licensed for it in version Y. This caused a good amount of confusion when the procurement team got involved.

It is scalable in the fact that it supports a lot of vendors. Giving it a medium rating that I will share with a hypothetical example.

I feel that there are some scenarios where a large group of customers using one vendor (Palo for example), are demanding a change to improve their product. The change is made, but it is at the expense of the compatibility of another product (Cisco for example).

Once provisioned the size of VMs cannot be changed, This is something that we heard they are working on. I haven't heard about a solution to this as of now. A number of collectors can be deployed without a need for extra licenses of you have remote firewalls.

FireMon is able to do what is expected and has improved our productivity. The reason that I gave 9 and not a perfect score is because of how costly it is, and how we had an issue when we were integrating Checkpoint firewall. Other than that I think this firewall analyzer should be on the top of the list.

Update: The ability to scale the product before deployment is very high, after deployment you can still add new servers and combine them to get "ultra" performance out of the product though it is more complicated so if I had to go back in time I'd have started with more hardware. Given the somewhat recent dedication to this (supporting large organizations), I am moving my rating from 8 to 9. I would still like to see some sort of magic plug and play for scaling which is probably unlikely especially since it's not really that hard.

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.

Easily done scaling, ability to add devices quickly without too much hassle. Growing the products footprint is not difficult at all, and that allows for quick deployment in the case of need. While our setup has been static for about a year, we should be growing it as we add our retail stores to the pot, which will need additional resources to process all the additional data. This is easily done with FireMon
