Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."It's flexible and powerful, and the users can input their own rules to the system."
"The anti-bot protection is the solution's most valuable feature. Safe-guard or credential staffing are also useful features."
"There are a lot of good features."
"Good dashboard and reporting."

"Very easy to implement and works well."
"Provides good protection from attacks."
"The support experience is better than average."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"I would not expect traffic details to pass through the web application firewall across the length of the whole application. I think that there is a web application where it can let the application function without traffic going in into the WAF."
"There should be more ability to rate limit certain scenarios. The majority of the time, it is either on or off. For certain types of use cases, there should be the ability to rate limit, not just enable or disable."
"F5 Advanced WAF could improve resource usage, it is CPU intensive. Additionally, adding automated remediation would be a benefit. For example, an easy button alerts us of the events that are occurring, and what we want to do at the time. An automated approach where somebody could be alerted very quickly. Instead of going and reconfiguring everything, an automated approach is what I'm looking at."
"We usually use a third-party tool for logging and reporting. It would be nice if we could do that right on this solution. They have one, but it's not very stable. Logging and reporting effectively would be a big enhancement."
"The BIG-IQ is supposed to centralize the management for all of the boxes but it's not very effective."
"There is a gap in report management."
"One thing that can be improved, is to increase the quantity over predefine policy."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
