We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the capability to limit access based on geographical location by restricting specific IP addresses."
"The most valuable aspect is that it protects our code. It's a bit difficult to overwrite code in our application. It also protects against threats."
"AWS WAF is very easy to use and configure on AWS."
"It is Amazon. Everything is scalable. It is beyond what we need."
"The web solution effectively protects from vulnerabilities and cyber attacks."
"We can host any DB or application on the solution."
"The ease of deployment of the product is valuable to me."
"AWS WAF is something that someone from a cloud background or cloud security background leverages. If they want to natively use a solution in the cloud, AWS WAF comes in handy. It's very useful for that, and the way we can fine-tune the WAF rules is also nice."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The solution is cloud-based, and therefore the billing model that comes with it could be more intuitive, in my opinion. It's very easy to not fully understand how you tag things for billing and then you can quite easily run up a high bill without realizing it. The solution needs to be more intuitive around the tagging system, which enables the billing. Right now, I have a cloud architect that does that on our behalf and it isn't something that a business user could use because it still requires quite a lot of technical knowledge to do effectively."
"The product must provide more features."
"For uniformity, AWS has a well-accepted framework. However, it'll be better for us if we could have some more documented guidelines on how the specific business should be structured and the roles that the cloud recommends."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"On the UI side, I would like it if they could bring back the geolocation view on the corner."
"We need more support as we go global."
"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."
"This solution could be improved if the configuration steps were more specific to WAF, compared to other cloud services."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
