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."This is not a product that you need to install. You just use it."
"It's simple, easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is the extra layer of security that I have when connecting to my web applications."
"The tool’s stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to configure. It just takes a couple of minutes."
"AWS WAF helps mitigate different kinds of bot attacks and SQL injection that happen within the retail industry."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to limit access based on geographical location by restricting specific IP addresses."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability because it automatically scales up or scales down as per our requirements."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."
"We have a lot of businesses that we put behind this solution, and it has really helped us in terms of monitoring the logs and incidents."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"It's a good front end for public infrastructure"
"The product’s UI is easy to understand."
"We should be able to do proper whitelisting."
"The solution is cloud-based, and therefore the billing model that comes with it could be more intuitive, in my opinion. It's very easy to not fully understand how you tag things for billing and then you can quite easily run up a high bill without realizing it. The solution needs to be more intuitive around the tagging system, which enables the billing. Right now, I have a cloud architect that does that on our behalf and it isn't something that a business user could use because it still requires quite a lot of technical knowledge to do effectively."
"The default content policy available in the tool is not very strong compared to the competitors."
"We must monitor and clean up the WAF manually."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The solution could be more reliable."
"One area that could be improved is the DDoS protection."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"In terms of the scalability, this part is always so confusing because they are checking for packet count. Also, after an attack, they said that the throughput must be from gigabits but then I check my bandwidth and it is already done in gigabits. So it is a little bit confusing."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
"You need to have Linux knowledge in order to use the shell."
