Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."This product is very user-friendly."
"If I need something from tech support, I can get it answered within the hour."
"The most valuable features are support and security."
"Some of the threat detection analytics and the filtering capabilities they give us for filtering a certain type of information that we don't want coming into the site are its valuable features. The analytics are pretty good in terms of being able to see what threats have been detected and mitigated, where they're coming from, and things like that."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the ability to disseminate between the user entering some wrong value to the field, and a suspicious actor trying to exploit some known vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the ease of integration and configuration."
"The ease of configuration is valuable. We have Azure WAF, we have OCI WAF, and we also have Cloud Armor for GCP, but their configuration isn't very easy. It's pretty simple in FortiWeb, and we can enable or configure whatever we want."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"Provides great functionality."
"I find the most valuable features are the continuous monitoring. Even on premises, there is constant monitoring."
"The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities."
"It is quite easy to implement."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"A user interface or dashboard for troubleshooting is needed."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is not scalable. You'll need more budget to change the hardware."
"We use Kubernetes, so I would like to have a plugin to configure FortiWeb Cloud automatically using Kubernetes Ingress. That would reduce the complexity of setting up an Ingress object in Kubernetes. Some competing solutions help you configure Ingress and Kubernetes automatically."
"The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better."
"The solution is rather complicated. If you know what to do, it's not bad, but it's complicated for a first time user to configure the solution. What I'd like to improve are the custom signatures."
"If the price was lower, it would be a bit more attractive, as an option, to the customers."
"We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them."
"The GUI could be better. It's limited."
"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."
"Finding things in management can be quite difficult."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."
"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"Certain integration factors between different options could be improved."
