Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."AWS WAF is something that someone from a cloud background or cloud security background leverages. If they want to natively use a solution in the cloud, AWS WAF comes in handy. It's very useful for that, and the way we can fine-tune the WAF rules is also nice."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to limit access based on geographical location by restricting specific IP addresses."
"The most valuable feature is the security, making sure that files are protected, preventing unauthorized users from accessing the system."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"We preferred the product based on its cost. AWS WAF is an out-of-the-box solution and integrates with the AWS services that we use. It's natively integrated with AWS."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a one-click WAF with no effort needed."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about ten minutes or less."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
"They have to do more to improve, to innovate more features. They need to increase the security. It has to be more active in detecting threats."
"The cost management has room for improvement."
"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."
"It's a bit difficult to apply the right rules for the right security."
"AWS WAF should provide better protection to its users, and the security features need to improve."
"The solution should identify why it blocks particular websites."
"It will be helpful if the product recommends rules that we can implement."
"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 tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
