We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If hackers try to insert bugs, the tool blocks it."
"AWS WAF is a stable solution. The performance of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is its highly configurable rules system."
"AWS WAF has a lot of integrated features and services. For example, there are security services that can be integrated very well for our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the way it blocks threats to external applications."
"We can host any DB or application on the solution."
"What I like best about AWS WAF is that it's a simple tool, so I could understand the basics of AWS WAF in two to three hours."
"AWS has flexibility in terms of WAF rules."
"The initial setup was easy since it was possible to get remote support for the product."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SD-WAN, filtration, web filter, application filter, and IPS."
"It is good for web tracking applications."
"The tool's HTTP traffic, website fixing, and blocking are fantastic. It is user-friendly with easy configuration."
"The fact that I can log into the platform and see everybody, see logs, authentication failure, and see everything on one platform, is the most valuable feature."
"The machine learning on FortiWeb WAF is valuable."
"The tool secures our critical applications, especially the mobile money application, which is often targeted by attacks. The solution provides rapid protection and has proven reliable against various threats."
"The solution could be more reliable."
"We need more support as we go global."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"Technical support for AWS WAF needs improvement."
"It would be better if AWS WAF were more flexible. For example, if you take a third-party WAF like Imperva, they maintain the rule set, and these rule sets are constantly updated. They push security insights or new rules into the firewall. However, when it comes to AWS, it has a standard set of rules, and only those sets of rules in the application firewalls trigger alerts, block, and manage traffic. Alternative WAFs have something like bot mitigation or bot control within the WAF, but you don't have such things in AWS WAF. I will say there could have been better bot mitigation plans, there could have been better dealer mitigation plans, and there could be better-updated rule sets for every security issue which arises in web applications. In the next release, I would like to see if AWS WAF could take on DDoS protection within itself rather than being in a stand-alone solution like AWS Shield. I would also like a solution like a bot mitigation."
"The area of reporting in the product needs to have a proper format."
"The price could be improved."
"The serverless product from AWS WAF could be improved. For example, they have only one serverless series, Lambda, but they should extend and improve it. Additionally, the firewall rules are not very easy to configure."
"We have encountered issues with webhooks and management of FortiWeb Web Application Firewall's on-premise version."
"FortiWeb Web Application Firewall needs to improve its performance."
"The product lacks features offered by enterprise-level firewall tools."
"The technical support team is bad."
"WAF needs more signatures on FortiWeb and updates the database continuously to protect against new attacks."
"I don't see any issues with the tool apart from the pricing aspect of the product. The price of the product is an area where improvements are required."
"It would be good if the solution integrated with other solutions, like SAP."
"The product is complicated to set up."
