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."Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode"
"When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working."
"The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"Citrix is good for application protection."
"The stability is good. If there is a problem, the load will be shifted to other sites automatically, which has been a good experience for us."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The product offers high availability."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"An area for improvement in Citrix Web App and API Protection is for it to give real-time notifications and alerts. It would be practical if the solution warns you if there's an attack or if the load or traffic volume increases or decreases. An additional feature I'd like to see in Citrix Web App and API Protection is a prediction or artificial intelligence on what is happening, for example, attacks."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"The setup was not simple."
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."
"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
