Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The customizable features are good."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the security, making sure that files are protected, preventing unauthorized users from accessing the system."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is the extra layer of security that I have when connecting to my web applications."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"The ease of deployment of the product is valuable to me."
"The simple configuration and the scalability have been most valuable. We are able to scale across all of our different AWS instances."
"The security firewall plus the features that protect against database injections or scripting,"
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"The price could be improved."
"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."
"They should make the implementation process faster."
"In a future release I would like to see automation. There's no interaction between the applications and that makes it tedious. We have to do the preparation all over again for each of our other applications."
"When users choose the free service, there isn't great support available to them."
"AWS WAF should provide better protection to its users, and the security features need to improve."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
