Overall Satisfaction with FireMon

Currently, FireMon is used as an auditing tool to track all changes. Also, we use it for quarterly reviews to do rule cleanup on firewall rules. It is only being used by our IT Security Team for our firewall assets. This tool is required for record retention.
  • Tracking all changes that occur on assets.
  • Able to quickly identify duplicate or unused rules.
  • Automation and workflow.
  • Network maps have a lot of room for improvement
  • How FireMon is updated; not able to pull updates directly from the system.
It seems the scalability is pretty simple in a VM environment. However, if you have hardware appliances, you want to make sure it is futureproofed for any acquisitions or additional hardware that may come up.
  • Lowers the time that we are trying to determine what rules are being overly used.
  • Able to quickly compile rule-based review across the enterprise.
FireMon does its core components very well.
FireMon is great when used with IT Security and Risk Management. It is a great tool to help quickly identify duplicate rules, rules that allow too much access, and rules that are rarely used.

Using FireMon

5 - IT Security
3 - The overall support doesn’t require too much of a skill set. However, once something is not working correctly that is when it’s difficult figure out what went wrong.
