Azure has some built-in native capabilities, but they're not great. It's called Azure Application Gateway, but it's not nearly as good as what Radware offers.

The protection capabilities against attacks are very good inside of Radware. It can definitely categorize an attack and determine the attack type. I can easily see what the attack is. It can tell me a little bit about the client that's trying to connect, whereas none of that was available in Azure Application Gateway. It was even hard to get a user agent type. That's a basic capability.

Before we purchased Radware WAF, we only had WAF, but we didn't have a bot manager, API protection, etc. It used to be risky.

This is our first such solution.

We did this ourselves using firewalls and other tools, but it proved a losing battle.

We used our own internal system which could not cope with the volume of bots hitting our site.
