Abimael Ferreira - PeerSpot reviewer
Security at Blaze Information Security
Centralized code analysis has improved my workflow and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities
Apiiro offers several features that I consider the best, such as the ability to have multiple developers and AppSec professionals working on the same project, and through the platform, we can see the number of vulnerabilities, generate reports, and integrate Snyk within our workflow. Before the code goes to production, Apiiro can read all that code and determine if everything is okay or if improvements are needed. The reports generated by Apiiro and its integration with Snyk contribute to my development process by giving us visibility into what is actually vulnerable, as automation like Apiiro makes it much easier to track vulnerabilities without spending too much time manually checking for issues, thus generating meaningful reports afterward. Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made. I found the accuracy and reliability of Apiiro's results to be very good, as it can predict issues based on its existing data.

Automated protection has streamlined attack mitigation and now safeguards critical services
I consider the best feature that Radware Cloud WAF Service offers is protection against application layer attacks, layer seven, mainly. That layer seven protection has benefited me significantly by reducing false positives and guaranteeing service availability for us. I have positive impressions of the API Discovery feature, since it allows me to discover APIs. The API Discovery feature has helped me register some APIs that I didn't have, and it has also made it easier for me in my integrations with other services. It has seemed a very useful and easy-to-use functionality given its platform. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks as very effective, since recently, given the PHP vulnerability, it helped us to mitigate that type of attack until we carried out patching and mitigation. I use the automatic source blocking feature in Radware's cloud application protection solution, and the experience has been very good, as the functionality helps us in the detection and protection of applications. The proactive and holistic approach based on correlation between modules has been effective in protecting my applications since, as the modules are from the same vendor, they allow us more native integration and they operate more efficiently. My opinion of the automated analytics for event review that the platform offers is positive, as sending metrics on a monthly basis in order to optimize our services, and the automated analytics helps us provide that report. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks as very good, as it allows us to block unknown threats and attacks thanks to its knowledge base. I consider the combination of negative and positive security models based on behavior important for my organization's security strategy, since attackers are constantly evolving and modifying IOCs, which challenges us to use this kind of behavioral analysis for more efficient detection. I consider that Bot Manager would help in my compliance efforts, since the reports we are requested are quarterly, mainly for regulatory compliance that we have. Regarding Radware Cloud WAF Service's artificial intelligence capabilities, I think its governance and security level seem appropriate. The accuracy and reliability of the results offered by the platform's artificial intelligence convince me, since the AI helps us automate some processes and searches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The positive impact I have seen from working with Apiiro for my company includes the metrics that we get from Apiiro, which have been extremely helpful."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted my organization by making the traffic manageable, and approximately 90% of the traffic is genuine traffic."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service's Web DDoS protection, HTTP L7, has significantly helped us protect our customer networks, mitigating all types of web attacks and ensuring no fluctuations or leaks even when large numbers of malicious bot IPs are attacking our network."
"I highly recommend Radware Cloud WAF for its reliability and fast support."
"The DDoS attack mitigation and bot mitigation have worked well for us, as we implement rate limits to requests and block connections from countries like China where we don't have clients, which has helped us to identify and block these attacks."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service offers great features including Bot Manager, path access, RFC-related signatures blocking, ACL, API protection, and load balancing, with every feature having its own benefits tailored to each application."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is very good, and there are various features such as DDoS for blocking mass attacks."
"The Bot Manager operates on the concept of AI/ML and is essential for our security strategy."
"We are achieving six to seven ms latency, so we are very much happy with the performance and the solution uses."
 

Cons

"User management is a little bit clunky."
"The UI sometimes helps but can also be a bit confusing."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"The required IP addresses sometimes get blocked, so that needs to be enhanced."
"They can work more on the documentation part. The documentation I found is quite vague."
"Although I don't consider it to have significant downsides, I believe the UI could be improved to be more user-friendly, especially for new joiners in SOC who might struggle to understand the traffic based on numerical data."
"We receive many reports from our security team of IPs flagged by our security tools, such as Palo Alto. I cannot add the file containing the IPs to get them blocked; instead, I have to contact Radware support and open a ticket for them to do it. I need to be able to block flagged IPs myself, as it currently takes more time to open a ticket, contact the support team, and wait four to six hours for a response. I want to be able to upload a file with 2,000-3,000 IPs in the console and then apply and save the configuration."
"Sometimes, I encounter issues with password reset."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve by possibly offering greater availability in Spanish for support, as generally there are English-speaking engineers, which might represent a challenge for some people."
"There is a lot more that is expected from Radware's automated analytics for looking at events. There needs to be more context of where protection is required these days."
"I would rate the customer support of Radware Cloud WAF Service as very improvable since they provide only pre-packaged answers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"The price is a bulk average."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"If you plan to deploy Cloud WAF, keep in mind that the product is priced based on the megabits of traffic that pass through and the number of transactions. You should get your requirements correct up front. The active attackers feed and CDN services cost extra, so you need to negotiate these features upfront."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
