Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about ten minutes or less. The customized billing is the most valuable feature. It is a one-click WAF with no effort needed. It is Amazon. Everything is scalable. It is beyond what we need. It's simple, easy to use. The most valuable feature is the way it blocks threats to external applications. The most valuable feature is the security, making sure that files are protected, preventing unauthorized users from accessing the system. | Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them. |
Cons | |
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. They should work to define more threats, add more security, and make it more compliant with more security companies. In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler. We need more support as we go global. The user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on. In a future release I would like to see automation. There's no interaction between the applications and that makes it tedious. We have to do the preparation all over again for each of our other applications. 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 biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
There are different scale options available for WAF. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. It's an annual subscription. | Pricing must be cheaper than the competition and the licensing must be good. |

Overview | |
AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your web applications from common web exploits that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. AWS WAF gives you control over which traffic to allow or block to your web applications by defining customizable web security rules. You can use AWS WAF to create custom rules that block common attack patterns, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting, and rules that are designed for your specific application. New rules can be deployed within minutes, letting you respond quickly to changing traffic patterns. Also, AWS WAF includes a full-featured API that you can use to automate the creation, deployment, and maintenance of web security rules. | Next Gen Web Application Firewall with real-time Threat Verification Founded in 2013, Wallarm provides its award-winning application security solution to hundreds of enterprises and SaaS providers worldwide. Wallarm's hybrid architecture makes it uniquely suited for cloud applications, companies following CI / CD practices and micro-services.
