Pros
"We like that there's load balancing, firewall capabilities, DDoS protection, et cetera, all covered by Cloudflare.""It is configurable via API.""Someone with a basic understanding of networking and security will be able to implement the firewall's basic features within 15 minutes.""The security features are valuable. The particular feature we use is called OWASP.""We extensively use the solution every day. The solution is very stable; we haven’t seen any glitches.""I'm highly satisfied. It's remarkably user-friendly, enabling me to quickly identify issues, and deploy solutions, and it offers the necessary features.""It protects web applications efficiently.""Caching is the most valuable feature of Cloudflare Web Application Firewall."

"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI.""Radware Cloud WAF Service is user-friendly and easy to deploy.""One of the most valuable features we have found in the solution is protection against attacks from botnet networks and the requests that these remote networks can generate that are blocked from our servers. That frees us from having to deal with that traffic.""With the current visibility dashboard, we can now obtain insight into the nature of attacks, identify attackers, and detect top IP or threat regions.""I particularly appreciate the low administrative burden of this solution, as well as the excellent monitoring tools.""From a financial point of view, we no longer need to appropriate more horsepower to our backend web servers constantly to service these requests because Cloud WAF is preventing malicious bots from accessing our web page. It reduced the load on our backend.""Geo-blocking is one of the most valuable features we use the most; most of our users are in North, Central, and South America, so we use geo-blocking to block access from other countries.""It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."

Cons
"There could be an option to duplicate the cluster to maintain the consistency of rules.""Cloudflare Web Application Firewall should include port forwarding features.""A key challenge arises when dealing with numerous integrations with HVAC systems. Depending on the specifics, there might be some configuration mismatches, which necessitate specific support.""The blocked logs are difficult to read at times.""The accuracy of the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall could be improved by reducing the number of false-negative alerts.""The reporting could be more granular.""I have experienced some difficulties with Cloudflare's support as a customer based in India.""They have some limitations with third-party integrations."

More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall Cons →

"There is a lot more that is expected from Radware's automated analytics for looking at events. There needs to be more context of where protection is required these days.""We've had some issues with putting certificates in.""The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems.""The integration part could be better.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps.""Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution.""The connection between the front and back ends could be improved.""The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing model is very straightforward compared to the competition. You just pay per month for the product and usage."
  • "We pay $210 per month for CloudFlare WAF."
  • "The annual licensing fee is $10,000 USD."
  • "Cloudflare offers different types of subscriptions for businesses, enterprises, and personal users, and the pricing is negotiable."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I believe the pricing is not the best, but it's reasonable and acceptable. We also use the McAfee system in parallel. In terms of pricing, its okay - not great, but not bad either. It falls in the middle, which is acceptable. In terms of support licensing, last time, we were searching for a solution, and we considered products from resellers rather than directly from the cloud provider. However, the pricing we encountered was exceptionally high. As a result, we are inclined to select support from the reseller."
  • "The solution's pricing option needs to be more transparent for enterprise clients."
  • "Cloudflare Web Application Firewall is more affordable than other solutions."
  • More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
  • "If you plan to deploy Cloud WAF, keep in mind that the product is priced based on the megabits of traffic that pass through and the number of transactions. You should get your requirements correct up front. The active attackers feed and CDN services cost extra, so you need to negotiate these features upfront."
  • "The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
  • "I believe the prices are fair."
  • "The price is a bulk average."
  • "We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
  • "We evaluated other options and, if I remember correctly, one of them was Fortinet, but they didn't seem as effective as Radware. But the price was the biggest difference. Radware had the best price for our type of network and level of scaling."
  • "We are based in El Salvador and don't have a direct license with Radware; we purchase the license through resellers. The pricing is reasonable, as I managed an Akamai product in a previous position, and Cloud WAF is competitively priced."
