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."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."
"The access instruction feature is the most valuable. This is what we use the most."
"The customizable features are good."
"The most valuable features are the geo-restriction denials and the web ACL."
"The most valuable features of AWS WAF are its cloud-native and on-demand."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"We can host any DB or application on the solution."
"The stability of AWS WAF is valuable."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The area of reporting in the product needs to have a proper format."
"The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure."
"When users choose the free service, there isn't great support available to them."
"On the UI side, I would like it if they could bring back the geolocation view on the corner."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"We must monitor and clean up the WAF manually."
"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."
"The user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"Performance could be improved."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"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."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
