Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The agility is great for us in terms of cloud services in general."
"This product supplies options for web security for applications accessing sensitive information."
"Rule groups are valuable."
"It's simple, easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the geo-restriction denials and the web ACL."
"AWS WAF is a stable solution. The performance of the solution is very good."
"We can host any DB or application on the solution."
"The customizable features are good."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"They should work to define more threats, add more security, and make it more compliant with more security companies."
"We don't have much control over blocking, because the WAF is managed by AWS."
"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."
"It would be better if AWS WAF were more flexible. For example, if you take a third-party WAF like Imperva, they maintain the rule set, and these rule sets are constantly updated. They push security insights or new rules into the firewall. However, when it comes to AWS, it has a standard set of rules, and only those sets of rules in the application firewalls trigger alerts, block, and manage traffic. Alternative WAFs have something like bot mitigation or bot control within the WAF, but you don't have such things in AWS WAF. I will say there could have been better bot mitigation plans, there could have been better dealer mitigation plans, and there could be better-updated rule sets for every security issue which arises in web applications. In the next release, I would like to see if AWS WAF could take on DDoS protection within itself rather than being in a stand-alone solution like AWS Shield. I would also like a solution like a bot mitigation."
"In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler."
"The pricing model is complicated."
"They have to do more to improve, to innovate more features. They need to increase the security. It has to be more active in detecting threats."
"The solution could be more reliable."
"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."
