Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."It's simple, easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the security, making sure that files are protected, preventing unauthorized users from accessing the system."
"The agility is great for us in terms of cloud services in general."
"This is not a product that you need to install. You just use it."
"The most valuable aspect is that it protects our code. It's a bit difficult to overwrite code in our application. It also protects against threats."
"The interface is good."
"Their technical support has been quite good."
"It is Amazon. Everything is scalable. It is beyond what we need."
"The stability of the product is good since I haven't had any problems with the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's automatic bot mechanism. It also gives us the control to create our own custom bot rules."
"We have issues with reporting, troubleshooting, and analytics. AWS WAF needs to bring costs down."
"The serverless product from AWS WAF could be improved. For example, they have only one serverless series, Lambda, but they should extend and improve it. Additionally, the firewall rules are not very easy to configure."
"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 could improve by making the overall management easier. Many people that have started working with AWS WAF do not have an easy time. They should make it easy to use."
"The technical support does not respond to bugs in the coding of the product."
"The pricing model is complicated."
"It is sometimes a lot of work going through the rules and making sure you have everything covered for a use case. It is just the way rules are set and maintained in this solution. Some UI changes will probably be helpful. It is not easy to find the documentation of new features. Documentation not being updated is a common problem with all services, including this one. You have different versions of the console, and the options shown in the documentation are not there. For a new feature, there is probably an announcement about being released, but when it comes out, there is no actual documentation about how to use it. This makes you either go to technical support or community, which probably doesn't have an idea either. The documentation on the cloud should be the latest one. Finding information about a specific event can be a bit challenging. For this solution, not much documentation is available in the community. It could be because it is a new tool. Whenever there is an issue, it is just not that simple to resolve, especially if you don't have premium support. You have pretty much nowhere to look around, and you just need to poke around to try and make it work right."
"In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler."
"The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems."
