Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The most valuable features are the geo-restriction denials and the web ACL."
"The security firewall plus the features that protect against database injections or scripting,"
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The ability to take multiple data sets and match those data sets together is the solution's most valuable feature. The data lake that comes with it is very useful because that allows us to match data sets with different configurations that we wouldn't normally be able to match."
"AWS WAF is something that someone from a cloud background or cloud security background leverages. If they want to natively use a solution in the cloud, AWS WAF comes in handy. It's very useful for that, and the way we can fine-tune the WAF rules is also nice."
"AWS WAF helps mitigate different kinds of bot attacks and SQL injection that happen within the retail industry."
"The product's initial setup phase was very simple."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is the extra layer of security that I have when connecting to my web applications."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"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 solution's pricing could be improved."
"Technical support for AWS WAF needs improvement."
"This solution could be improved if the configuration steps were more specific to WAF, compared to other cloud services."
"One area that could be improved is the DDoS protection."
"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."
"For uniformity, AWS has a well-accepted framework. However, it'll be better for us if we could have some more documented guidelines on how the specific business should be structured and the roles that the cloud recommends."
"We should be able to do proper whitelisting."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
