AlgoSec vs rConfig

AlgoSec is a network security policy management platform for organizations working across cloud, software-defined networking, and on-premises environments. It maps applications, dependencies, network connections, and security policies to give teams visibility across those environments. FireFlow handles security policy changes through planning, risk analysis, implementation, and validation. Horizon Security Analyzer identifies risky rules, firewall cleanup opportunities, and compliance gaps, while AlgoSec describes audit reporting for PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001, and corporate policies. Its Cloud Enterprise offering focuses on visibility, automated security changes, and ongoing compliance for cloud environments. The platform is listed for API, Linux, self-hosted, and web use, with a hybrid deployment model and multi-vendor support. Integrations include systems from BMC Software, HP, ServiceNow, Jira, Akamai, Cisco, Illumio, Qualys, Rapid7, and Tenable. AlgoSec reports SOC 2 Type II and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications, and says its SaaS products support role-based access, SAML 2.0 single sign-on, and IP allowlisting. Pricing is on request.

rConfig is a Network Configuration Management platform for managing network device configurations. V8 supports configuration backups, historical change tracking, drift validation, automated rollbacks, and compliance-ready reports. Its listed controls include role-based access, audit trails, encryption, and compliance reporting; V8 Pro adds SAML SSO, immutable audit logs, encryption at rest, and optional air-gapped deployment. The maker says V8 supports any device, vendor, and protocol. Listed integrations cover device synchronization with Zabbix, NetBox, Nautobot, Statseeker, AKIPS, Checkmk, PRTG, and Infrahub, plus HashiCorp Vault credentials and SAML/OIDC identity. LibreNMS and Observium connectors are planned, while CyberArk and Delinea Secret Server are on the bench. Core is open source and runs on customer hardware; Pro, Enterprise, and Vector are tailored deployments rather than downloads. Core costs nothing. Starter costs $3,900, paid once, and V8 Pro costs €3,999 a year, with a perpetual licence after Year 1.
