What users are saying about ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer.
View all reviews

Fast to implement and get results. Very powerful. Ver straightforward to accomplish PCI remediations.

Executive in Information Technology (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have remediated my PCI findings about firewall activity monitoring. On the other hand, now I have a fast query tool for forensics and I have found specific devices that generated useless denied traffic. I use it as a log harvesting tool. Useful for traffic shaping and top solve buggy hosts generating useless packets in the network.

Pros

  • PCI compliance
  • Dashboards
  • Reports

Cons

  • UI can be improved, not very intuitive.
  • Search features can be improved too, I needed to export an excel file to perform an advanced search.
  • Automatic direct updates would be great.

Return on Investment

  • Fast PCI finding remediation, no consultant needed.
  • Good price (u$s 695 to monitor two boxes of different brands)
  • Log harvesting tool included for the same price.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our business, it is used to monitor firewall traffic and send alerts if there is any traffic that is out of the ordinary, or if there are any attacks present on the firewall. Overall, it is our way of easily seeing what kind of traffic is going in and out of our firewall.

Pros

  • Displays firewall traffic in a user friendly dashboard
  • Customer service is always quick to respond
  • Setup and configuration is easy

Cons

  • Could be quicker to address patches in third party software used with ManageEngine that may come up in a vulnerability scan

Return on Investment

  • It sends alerts if the firewall goes down, therefore we are able to address the issue before too much time has passed.
