Compared to AWS WAF, Fortinet is easy to use and deploy. From a technical point of view, Fortinet is easy to implement and handle. I recommend Fortinet over AWS WAF to others.

Third-party competitors like F5 and Imperva have more features than AWS WAF.

While AWS is a top choice, Cloudflare is also considered for smaller projects due to pricing. Overall, AWS WAF offers reasonable features compared to competitors like Cloudflare, GCP, and Azure.

There are multiple other options which we could have gone for, but it depends on the budget, typically. I am especially interested in a WAF which has serious support for automation and more complex configuration options.

We chose this solution because it is cloud native Amazon.
