AWS WAF Reviews

We use AWS WAF to protect internet system applications. 

The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to integrate central sets. It protects from intrusion attacks such as scripting and SQL injections. 

We should be able to do proper whitelisting. 

I have been working with the solution for four years. 

AWS WAF is stable. 

My company has more than 10,000 users. The tool is scalable. 

AWS WAF's tech support is not complicated. 

AWS WAF's deployment is easy. 

We have seen ROI with the tool's use.

AWS WAF has reasonable pricing. 

You need to consider the use cases before implementing the solution. I rate it a ten out of ten. 

One common use case is using detection protection for enhancing security models in AWS. Another use case is implementing log analysis and response recovery procedures for email services.

I believe there is a need to move towards real-time analysis with the help of AI and intelligent systems in the future. This would reduce the reliance on manual work and enhance the functionality of detection protection. By incorporating AI-driven data analysis and data science techniques, we can improve the solution's user-friendliness, security compatibility, and accuracy.

I have been using the solution for almost a decade.

AWS WAF is stable. 

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup was easy.

Our in-house engineers implemented the solution. They are already familiar with AWS and hold AWS certifications.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are an AWS service provider and we use the solution for the cloud and to provide service to other users.

The stability of AWS WAF is valuable.

The cost management has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for eight years.

I give the stability a ten out of ten.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

The technical support is helpful.

The price is average.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution is a public cloud platform and we have millions of users.

We use this solution to protect our web applications against common vulnerabilities. The CDN component is also quite powerful. We use this solution alongside Azure WAF.

The simple configuration and the scalability have been most valuable. We are able to scale across all of our different AWS instances.

This solution could be improved if the configuration steps were more specific to WAF, compared to other cloud services. 

I have been using this solution for two years. 

This is a stable solution. We rely on AWS's other cloud services and we've never experienced any stability issues. 

This is a scalable solution. 

Our support experience has been quite good.

The main reason we switched from using CloudFlare to AWS is to have a native offering because all of our cloud solutions are on AWS. This made it simpler compared to using a third party and easier to reroute traffic.

It depends on your AWS configuration, but what we've experienced is that the rule policy configuration is really straightforward. It took a couple of weeks. 

We had in-house expertise.

We have a medium amount of traffic per month and the cost is in the hundreds rather than in the thousands. I don't know the exact number.

I would advise others to ensure they understand what can be done internally and then what you need expertise for externally. If you have the expertise internally, it can be easily configured. Keep the SIEM configuration as simple as possible, rather than trying to modify and configure too many things.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We are using AWS WAF for business purposes for clients. We host our client's platforms on AWS WAF.

AWS WAF has a lot of integrated features and services. For example, there are security services that can be integrated very well for our customers.

The serverless product from AWS WAF could be improved. For example, they have only one serverless series, Lambda, but they should extend and improve it. Additionally, the firewall rules are not very easy to configure.

I have used AWS WAF for approximately five years.

I have found AWS WAF to be stable.

The scalability of AWS WAF is very good.

The solution can be used in small to large-sized businesses.

The customer service has been fine, we had no issues with them. We have been satisfied.

The setup of AWS WAF is very easy.

The price of AWS WAF is reasonable, it is not expensive and it is not cheap.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate AWS WAF a seven out of ten.

We use this product for our web application firewall. It is used for production services.

I am not a direct customer but I have installed it for one of my clients.

The most valuable feature is that it is integrated with other AWS services.

I would like to see it more tightly integrated with other AWS services.

I have been working intermittently with AWS WAF over the past two years.

AWS WAF is extremely scalable.

At this point, we don't have any plans to increase our usage of it.

Prior to AWS WAF, I was using a Cisco web application firewall. However, when I started using AWS, I switched.

This is not a product that you need to install. You just use it.

The only people that need to work with it are those who configure it.

You need an additional AWS subscription for this product if you are buying a managed tool.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it. My advice for anybody who is just getting started with it is to follow the instructions.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use AWS WAF to prevent cyberattacks, such as SQL Injection attacks and cross-site scripting attacks. The end users' traffic has more threats and the web application gives good support.

The most valuable features of AWS WAF are its cloud-native and on-demand.

Any customer can leverage AWS WAF immediately, it has a basic set of rules that are available.

The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure.

I have been using AWS WAF for approximately four years.

This is a very stable solution.

AWS WAF is scalable.

We have approximately five customers using this solution.

The technical support is very good. They are responsive and knowledgeable, they have always come back with a resolution or a workaround to help us.

The initial setup took approximately 15 mins, it is easy.

We have a team that does the support for the solution.

AWS WAF is pay-as-you-go, I only pay for what I'm using. There is no subscription or any payment upfront, I can terminate use at any time. Which is an advantage.

The first version of AWS WAF was not mature but the second version is very mature.

I would recommend this solution to others because instead of choosing a third-party solution which will take time, and you will have to be in negotiations. It is good to start with AWS WAF for their minimal primary security firewall to save their workload. AWS WAF is available on-demand from day one.

I rate AWS WAF a seven out of ten.

I primarily use the solution as a gateway service and a transaction portal. 

We haven't had any issues with the solution so far.

The pricing of the product is very good. They make it very reasonable and it's very easy to afford.

Their technical support has been quite good.

The performance is excellent. It's reliable.

We've found the solution to be quite stable.

We haven't faced any problems with the solution. I can't speak to any missing features. Every aspect of it has been quite good.

I've been using the solution for a while.

The stability has been very good. We've enjoyed a very reliable performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's been good.

Technical support has been quite good. We've found them helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with the level of support that is provided to us.

The solution is very reasonably priced. 

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship or partnership with AWS.

I have pretty good experience in AWS. I have a certificate in AWS.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been extremely satisfied with the solution.
