Overall Satisfaction with FireMon

FireMon is deployed by the Corporate Security Team, the network team will check in all of their firewalls and use the tool for audit purposes. The Security Team also aligns witth each Business Unit security leader, if that BU is audited they use the data produced from FireMon as evidence.
  • Firewall Auditing
  • Reporting
  • Ease of use
  • Resources, to much minimun hardware requirements to run
  • Architecture is to big, to many endpoints to deploy
  • Hosted Cloud solution could help in place of System deployments
Scalability is great, just need to deploy a collector locally and it gooes...the main APP + DB server is a resource hog.
  • ROI has to deal with Third Party Audits
  • Has saved us tons of man hours of doing discoovery work
AlgoSec is a great tool, lower in cost as well.

FireMon has alot of capabilites, but our organization is not ready or have a use case yet for those features.
FireMon is a great tool, but it is very expensive to run. Also the last sale rep we had was very aggresive and didnt respect the fact we told them that we were not interested at the time to upgrade or add any additional licensing.
