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."It inspects the traffic at the network level before it comes into Azure. We can do SSL offloading, and it can detect abnormalities before the traffic comes into the application. It can be used globally and is easy to set up. It is also quite stable and scalable."
"The solution is good."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"The most valuable feature is that you can implement resources globally. It does not depend on location and ability or something like that. This is to connect clients around the world."
"The web application firewall is a great feature."
"The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable."
"I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"I have recently been looking at the SSL certificate features and the learning mode of the appliance. This appliance learns from the pattern of SSL attacks."
"It is a stable product."
"What we like about Fortinet FortiWeb is it has all the features. We use all of them, so we have to turn on all the options."
"It is easy to install and to maintain."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The GUI is user-friendly and it's easy to understand how to manage it."
"The solution is stable."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"It lacks sufficient functionality."
"The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system."
"The product needs to improve its latency."
"There is room for improvement and they're working on it."
"My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table."
"It can be better with web application firewalls."
"Sometimes, even if you follow the documentation, it doesn't work as expected."
"We would like the interface to be easier to use and more user-friendly. The interface needs to be enhanced."
"FortiWeb needs to have support for the newest technology being used in web applications."
"I would like to see more improvements with respect to threat intelligence."
"We want to see more detailed logging, such as audit logging, as this would significantly enhance the solution's reporting. We currently get some information from logs, but more would be better."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle different use cases."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
