Overall Satisfaction with FireMon

We utilize FireMon to monitor the changes to our critical firewalls within the Company. We also use it to perform our bi-annual firewall review to show us easily and readily what objects and ACL's are not being used within a certain timeframe. It also allows us to document in detail who the owner of the rule is as well as document the change number associated with the rule/change.
  • Monitor changes
  • Provides easy review of the configuration
  • Shows if there are duplicate rules
  • The way it is licensed. It is licensed by device type and IP address.
  • Process to upgrade to major versions. Right now you have to reimage the appliance or VM and it is not always just an update.
  • We do not have to have a 3rd party monitor our firewalls for changes
  • None
It helps organizations achieve and maintain various compliance requirements such as ones within the PCI DSS. It also provides an easy to review and reference for users who are not firewall engineers. It breaks the configuration down nicely to show how the rules flow and what they do.
