Featured Reviews

ANDRE VINICIUS HAMERSKI - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitates digital transformation with seamless integration
We have enjoyed the same experience as public cloud with a digital transformation since 2016, leading to a necessity to improve our environment using infrastructure as code. It helps run Android and system containers using Ubuntu Pro. The product made it easier to insert new components and hosts in our private cloud, allowing us to update the number of hosts in our environment.

Protects web applications with comprehensive security features
All features are valuable. In a multi-cloud or distributed cloud, there are many protection possibilities from data to web application or API protection, including bot mitigation. This is a comprehensive package for web application security. The main benefit is Web App Security, offering a complete security package from DDoS to web application firewall, API protection, and bot mitigation.
