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 solution is stable."
"Stable and scalable web application firewall. Setting it up is straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"The web solution effectively protects from vulnerabilities and cyber attacks."
"It's simple, easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the way it blocks threats to external applications."
"The ease of deployment of the product is valuable to me."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"It is fully automated."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"The default content policy available in the tool is not very strong compared to the competitors."
"The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure."
"AWS WAF should provide better protection to its users, and the security features need to improve."
"We must monitor and clean up the WAF manually."
"I would like to see the addition of more advanced rate-limiting features in the next release. It would be beneficial to extend rate limiting beyond just web servers to the main node level."
"It will be helpful if the product recommends rules that we can implement."
"I would like to be able to view a graphical deployment map in the user interface that will give me an overview of the configuration and help to determine whether I have missed any steps."
"The user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
