We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Radware Alteon 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."AWS WAF helps mitigate different kinds of bot attacks and SQL injection that happen within the retail industry."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to configure. It just takes a couple of minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to limit access based on geographical location by restricting specific IP addresses."
"The access instruction feature is the most valuable. This is what we use the most."
"Rule groups are valuable."
"Its best feature is that it is on the cloud and does not require local hardware resources."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability because it automatically scales up or scales down as per our requirements."
"The tool’s stability is very good."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The product offers high availability."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"We have issues with reporting, troubleshooting, and analytics. AWS WAF needs to bring costs down."
"The product must provide more features."
"The user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on."
"The setup is complicated."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"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."
"When users choose the free service, there isn't great support available to them."
"In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"Performance could be improved."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
