Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager."
"With F5 Advanced WAF, it was protection for online publications and for our customers that caused us to choose the platform."
"My favorite feature of F5 is the ability to play around with the ciphers. I also like the ability to have an immediate display of the support IDs when a real blockage occurs. The protection offered is great."
"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are the balancer and you can change policies very easily."
"There are a lot of good features."
"The solution isn't too expensive. The license allows you to license what you need and leave out what you don't need."
"The support experience is better than average."
"We can monitor IP locations, but we have constraints from each country. It has a replication feature. Licenses can be shared, taking turns with each license."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"For me, an area for improvement in F5 Advanced WAF is the reporting as it isn't so clear. The vendor needs to work on the reporting capability of the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of F5 Advanced WAF is threat intelligence to protect your web application, particularly having that capability out-of-the-box, and not needing to pay extra for it, similar to what's offered in FortiWeb, for example, any request that originates from a malicious IP will be blocked automatically by FortiWeb. F5 Advanced WAF should have the intelligence for blocking malicious IPs, or automatically blocking threats included in the license, instead of making it an add-on feature that users have to pay for apart from the standard licensing fees."
"Most customers encounter stability issues with the product's Big-IP logs."
"F5 Advanced WAF could improve resource usage, it is CPU intensive. Additionally, adding automated remediation would be a benefit. For example, an easy button alerts us of the events that are occurring, and what we want to do at the time. An automated approach where somebody could be alerted very quickly. Instead of going and reconfiguring everything, an automated approach is what I'm looking at."
"They could provide better pricing."
"The user interface (UI) seems a bit outdated. Making it more user-friendly would be beneficial."
"The solution should include RASP for another level of protection at the code itself."
"I would say their graphical interface, the GUI. I don't like the GUI as much as before."
"Its price should be better. It is expensive."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
