We are developing an integration platform based on the API gateway and web application firewall. We went live this year, and we have some production issues with the chosen technologies. We use NGINX App Protect as a web application firewall and 3scale as an API gateway. Both products are working, but it's not a perfect match for us. Because of this, we did some research during the summer and decided to change the whole solution to AWS.

What will be definitely better is the AWS license model for us. We pay maybe 10% of the whole solution we had before. So it's much cheaper. They are technical as well because we are able to instantiate per API, our own web application firewall, and API gateway. So it's not just the price, it's the whole that looks like AWS is a much better solution than NGINX.

My company needs to expand its options to see if some other brand apart from NGINX App Protect is faster.

As the license for NGINX App Protect in our company will expire in a few months, my company wants to make a decision on whether to extend the services of the tool or not based on the research we do on other platforms in the market.

There is not much variety when it comes to web application firewalls that are also load-balancing solutions. Imperva is an alternative, although it is more expensive.

I work as a consultant for a company and am currently evaluating some products.
