Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."F5 Advanced WAF has very good stability and scalability. Its initial setup was straightforward."
"Provides good protection from attacks."
"With F5 Advanced WAF, it was protection for online publications and for our customers that caused us to choose the platform."
"The product has valuable features for load balancing, monitoring tools, and HPXpress services."
"One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager."
"My favorite feature of F5 is the ability to play around with the ciphers. I also like the ability to have an immediate display of the support IDs when a real blockage occurs. The protection offered is great."
"There is no need to worry about updating signatures because WAF will automatically update the signatures for you."
"This solution inspects your traffic and based on that, automatically create distinct qualities for you, so you can add this to the policy already created. That's what I like most."
"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"You have to buy another module with an extra license, to have the authentication feature."
"It's sometimes difficult to customize APIs with F5 Advanced WAF."
"I would say their graphical interface, the GUI. I don't like the GUI as much as before."
"They could provide better pricing."
"The interface is old-looking, it's not modern, which is why it's not always comfortable to use."
"For me, an area for improvement in F5 Advanced WAF is the reporting as it isn't so clear. The vendor needs to work on the reporting capability of the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of F5 Advanced WAF is threat intelligence to protect your web application, particularly having that capability out-of-the-box, and not needing to pay extra for it, similar to what's offered in FortiWeb, for example, any request that originates from a malicious IP will be blocked automatically by FortiWeb. F5 Advanced WAF should have the intelligence for blocking malicious IPs, or automatically blocking threats included in the license, instead of making it an add-on feature that users have to pay for apart from the standard licensing fees."
"They should work on the virtualization of NGINX."
"F5 Advanced WAF needs better integration within the application, like remote dashboards."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
