Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The most valuable feature is the addition of managed tools that help us create customizable rules. In case we want to block a particular request, we can make use of those rules."
"One common use case is using detection protection for enhancing security models in AWS. Another use case is implementing log analysis and response recovery procedures for email services."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to configure. It just takes a couple of minutes."
"Stable and scalable web application firewall. Setting it up is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the way it blocks threats to external applications."
"The product’s availability, ease of configuration, and documentation are valuable."
"Rule groups are valuable."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
"I would like to see it more tightly integrated with other AWS services."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"AWS WAF would be better if it uses AI or machine learning to detect a potential attack or a potential IP that creates an attack even before it happens. I want AWS WAF to capture the IP and automatically write the rule to automate the entire process."
"I would like to be able to view a graphical deployment map in the user interface that will give me an overview of the configuration and help to determine whether I have missed any steps."
"The pricing model is complicated."
"They have to do more to improve, to innovate more features. They need to increase the security. It has to be more active in detecting threats."
"The default content policy available in the tool is not very strong compared to the competitors."
"While the complexity of the installation can vary from one service to another, overall, I would say that it and the configuration and navigation are somewhat complex."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
