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."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."
"The ability to configure multiple policies for different requirements is a strong feature of Fortinet FortiWeb."
"FortiWeb offers machine learning in the latest product. This fixed many problems. There are no false negatives."
"It offers some feedback and suggestions that guide our system development while helping our vendors to update their applications and fix any issues or bugs."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"When it comes to blocking unknown threats and attacks, I would give it the highest score possible. We first started using AWS and its Web Application Firewalls. That was okay, but it was quite a manual process to keep it up to date, whereas Fortinet is always up to date, and the default rules or the modules that you can turn on are very easy to use."
"FortiWeb provides the level of security we need at an excellent price point. It's easy to deploy and operationally efficient."
"This product is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."
"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."
"I particularly appreciate the low administrative burden of this solution, as well as the excellent monitoring tools."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
"The solution offers good protection."
"DDoS protection is a valuable feature that works efficiently."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"I had some small problems when I was upgrading firmware. After the upgrade, some of my certificates were deleted."
"It would also be helpful if they could introduce easier reporting. It's good to have those reports that go to C-level management, and Fortinet does provide some graphs, but if they went into some more detail, that would be great."
"Integration and learning about attacks. I would improve these areas by making FortiWeb integrate with other network technologies and feedback from multiple platforms."
"Lacks a VM demo to enable testing prior to purchase."
"Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
"The Layer 7 DDoS attacks need improvement, it could be better."
"The integration part could be better."
"If we want to publish services to a limited number of providers and we only want those providers to connect, we need to forward those requests to the Radware support team and they apply them, but it takes some time."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps."
"They have a portal for webinar training but because we are in a Spanish-speaking country, it is difficult for us to watch them. Not all of us are fluent in English, but most of the courses and webinars are in English. That part could be improved..."
"They've changed their process for call logging. I suppose it's fine, but I used to be able to send emails in. They could also build up more local resiliency here in South Africa. They're working on that, so it isn't much of an issue now."
"The Cloud Portal has room for improvement."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
