We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiWeb and Radware Cloud WAF Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 is a stable product."
"The solution is stable."
"Fortinet FortiWeb has improved my organization by protecting our customer's web infrastructure environment."
"The GUI makes it easy to scale in terms of learning and utilization."
"The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"The reason I recommend this product is because it guarantees that your network will be safe if it is set up properly and you fully utilize most of the functions."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well."
"Other than the additional security with exploit protection, we have simpler certificate handling, as we can keep internal servers using internal certificates continuously distributed and updated by Active Directory Group Policy, while the public certificates become updated only in a single place, FortiWeb itself."
"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."
"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."
"What makes this a comprehensive offering from Radware is that it combines WAF, ADA, bot management, and API protection, which is not currently available from any other provider in the market."
"The solution offers good protection."
"I particularly appreciate the low administrative burden of this solution, as well as the excellent monitoring tools."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"The product’s stability could be improved."
"In my experience, Fortinet FortiWeb could improve the intelligent features to acknowledge whether any threat or incident that's running happened. Then give us the ability to escalate it to layer 2 or layer 3 in the network operations."
"Their documentation is fairly complete, but it's sometimes a little bit difficult to search for exactly what you're looking for to resolve an issue. There have been times when we've gone to try to search for areas that we needed to get information on, and it has not always been extremely clear exactly how a particular thing needs to be set up."
"I would like to see the Application Delivery Control (ADC) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) combined in one device."
"The F5 solution has more features than Fortinet FortiWeb, such as multiple load balancing."
"The solution is rather complicated. If you know what to do, it's not bad, but it's complicated for a first time user to configure the solution. What I'd like to improve are the custom signatures."
"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."
"It is not entirely user-friendly."
"Our only complaint is the reporting on the DDoS side. We also use Radware for on-premises DDoS protection and their Vision product. I just want to give paint you an example. We face so many Layer 3 and Layer 4 DDoS attacks on Cloud WAF. The reporting on those types of attacks can be improved."
"The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."
"The connection between the front and back ends could be improved."
"Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution."
"The integration part could be better."
"It would be ideal if Radware could offer a bundled package that includes Cloud WAF, web DDoS protection, bot manager, and Alteon for a more comprehensive security solution."
"The primary area for improvement is in issue detection and understanding whether a log is a false positive. It can sometimes be a challenge to take the data of a given security event and determine if it's a genuine threat using a Wiki etc."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
