Combines LTM and ASM in one license

I use F5 Advanced WAF to secure web applications and load balance for connectivity F5 Advanced WAF secures our connectivity and combines both the main functions of WAF (balancing and web application security). F5 Advanced WAF's best feature is that it's a combination of LTM and ASM in one…

Effectively prevents security risks and hacking attempts on websites, providing robust protection

I'm currently using it to prevent security risk attacks and hacking on my websites. We use the solution to protect our main website, which has two parts: a Web Application Firewall and a service to remove infection. We also use the part that sends us information about new risk updates to our site…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Very easy to implement and works well."

"I definitely recommend this solution because of the time you save on analysis."

"There are a lot of good features."

"F5 Advanced WAF helps our engineers to learn the complete configuration, including fundamental and advanced policies."

"The product has valuable features for load balancing, monitoring tools, and HPXpress services."

"Good dashboard and reporting."

"I like them because I like the security solution. They get extra marks compared to other solutions or competitors. There are more features than any other product I can think of. They're always monitoring, and the security features offer more than other, lesser products."

"We can monitor IP locations, but we have constraints from each country. It has a replication feature. Licenses can be shared, taking turns with each license."

More F5 Advanced WAF pros

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its pricing."

"The Sandbox integration feature could be improved."

"I would like to see additional controls."

"The contextual-based component needs a lot of help to catch up with the next-gen products."

"F5 Advanced WAF could improve the precision of the scanning. There are many false positives. They should improve their threat database."

"Scalability could be improved."

"They could provide better pricing."

"The deployment side is quite complex."

More F5 Advanced WAF cons

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After buying the program, you just pay for the support every year."

"The pricing is too high."

"I think the price is very high."

"The way we deployed it, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"The price of the solution is reasonable when compared with other products, such as FortiWeb. I am very satisfied with the price."

"The price of F5 Advanced WAF could improve it is expensive."

"Licensing fees for this solution are paid on a yearly basis."

"F5 Advanced WAF is not a cost-effective solution. Although they are attempting to reduce prices with their VE and cloud options, they are more expensive than other solutions. The solution is more expensive on average."

More F5 Advanced WAF pricing and cost advice

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Sucuri?

The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
