Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."We only need one subscription to be protected against both active DDoS and offline DDoS attacks."
"If an attack is coming continuously, you can ask the device to block it temporarily for two to three minutes. F5 has not provided us with an option to block certain IPs for some time. Barracuda can help you block someone if the source is from a different IP. You can apply the rule to the device and block it for whatsoever time you want. The solution will unblock the IP after the prescribed time as well."
"There is no one special feature, but the WAF itself is valuable: user-friendly protection against web attacks etc., authentication, reporting, accountability, alerting, and hardened OS."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, especially if you enlist assistance."
"It significantly improved our overall web security posture, addressing intrusions and enhancing control over web URLs in our environment."
"The solution has been quite stable. It's reliable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of configuration."
"The updating and signature features are my primary use case for the solution. These features are beneficial to my organization."
"The user interface precludes need to be well versed with Linux IPVS command line. This make it easy for junior team members to participate in managing load balancing needs."
"It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."
"The performance is good."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"Loadbalancer is easy to use. It performs well, with low latency."
"The support we have received from Loadbalancer.org has been good."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"I would like to see a native multi-cloud cover."
"There are issues when upgrading firewalls and we experience different issues across customers."
"It would be better if their updates would be released annually."
"The solution could use more reports."
"I would like to see an improved capacity to store logs so that they will be available for a longer time."
"I have found F5 more stable than Barracuda Web Application Firewall. They should improve the stability."
"This product could easily progress to be among the industry leaders. I think they need to improve enterprise level automation. It integrates with a small number of vulnerability scanners, so report results should be imported manually; same for SIEM integration."
"An area for improvement in Loadbalancer.org is that sometimes it works fine, but sometimes, it has issues. The setup for Loadbalancer.org is also complex, so that's another area for improvement."
"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"The interface from Loadbalancer.org should be improved."
"It would be great if there was a way to gain access to the graphing data, to create custom reports. If we had a way to use the graphing data, we could use it to present certain information to our client, such as the uptime status for their service."
"Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced."
