Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."When we had Cisco we had around thirty thousand entries on our firewalls. Now we are down to three thousand. Fortinet has a mechanism to detect all of your entries which are not used, and it can clean it up."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"FortiWeb is easy to operate with a reasonably high level of protection. FortiWeb provides multiple deployment options with a physical or virtual (FortiWeb-VM) appliance, and acts either as a reverse/transparent proxy or out-of-band. It is also available on AWS and Azure."
"It can scale well."
"The support is quite good."
"The most valuable features in Fortinet FortiWeb are sandboxing and threat prevention."
"We find that it is quite stable and reliable."
"The solution is stable."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."
"DHCP is a basic service, and they've been doing it for years, so it's mature and stable."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"The main advantages with Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the dashboards, the reporting system, and they have the GUI interface."
"The security of the solution is perfect. It's very good at protecting us from attacks."
"It costs too much."
"The GUI could be better. It's limited."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"Describing security rules should be improved. It's tricky to define new feature tools when you want to describe an attack pattern and want to block it."
"The initial setup process could be improved."
"The interface could have the interdependent elements arranged sequentially and wizards that go through most common deployment actions."
"We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them."
"FortiGate could be improved on the security end because we've had some incidents with the customer. Otherwise, there is no problem."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
"The price could be reduced to improve the solution."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think only the technical documentation and administration of box could be a little bit improved."
"They should release frequent updates for its on-premises version."
"Infoblox lacks an extensive product portfolio."
