Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon, Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The solution's technical support is good."
"The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature."
"The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"We have good customer support."
"When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working."
"Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode"
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable."
"An area for improvement in Citrix Web App and API Protection is for it to give real-time notifications and alerts. It would be practical if the solution warns you if there's an attack or if the load or traffic volume increases or decreases. An additional feature I'd like to see in Citrix Web App and API Protection is a prediction or artificial intelligence on what is happening, for example, attacks."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing"
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"The user interface could be more friendly. Some wizards and other documentation for administrators, as well as some use cases, helps us to understand the solution."
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
