Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's quite a stable product and works well with Microsoft products.""The initial setup is easy and straightforward...Azure Web Application Firewall is a scalable product.""It has been a stable product in my experience.""It's a good option if you want a solution that's ready to go and easy for your team to learn. It's cloud-based, so you don't need to buy or maintain any hardware infrastructure.""We have found the most valuable features to be the web application, minimal skills required for management, control through policies, and automation.""The integration it has with GitHub is great.""The solution has good dashboards.""Azure WAF is extremely stable."

"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it.""From a financial point of view, we no longer need to appropriate more horsepower to our backend web servers constantly to service these requests because Cloud WAF is preventing malicious bots from accessing our web page. It reduced the load on our backend.""The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI.""With the current visibility dashboard, we can now obtain insight into the nature of attacks, identify attackers, and detect top IP or threat regions.""The solution offers good protection.""One of the most valuable features we have found in the solution is protection against attacks from botnet networks and the requests that these remote networks can generate that are blocked from our servers. That frees us from having to deal with that traffic.""It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."

Cons
"From a reporting perspective, they could do more there.""The management can be improved.""The documentation needs to be improved.""Deployment should be simplified so that a non-techie can handle it.""The support for proxy forwarding could improve.""There is a need to be able to configure the solution more.""I would say that Azure's customer service is not that good...I am not very happy with the support offered.""In Brazil, we have some problems with the phone service that affect our connection with the cloud. However, it isn't common."

More Azure Web Application Firewall Cons →

"The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow.""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.""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.""Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers.""Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution.""They've changed their process for call logging. I suppose it's fine, but I used to be able to send emails in. They could also build up more local resiliency here in South Africa. They're working on that, so it isn't much of an issue now.""The connection between the front and back ends could be improved.""We've had some issues with putting certificates in."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft and the pricing is good."
  • "The price is for this solution is fair and there is a license needed."
  • "The price of the solution depends on your architecture and how you manage it. You can control the cost in Azure quite well. The costs do not directly correlate to expenses in the features we are using."
  • "Azure WAF has price advantages over other WAF solutions. The pricing model is flexible because you pay on a scale based on the level of protection you need."
  • "I give the pricing a nine out of ten."
  • More Azure Web Application Firewall Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
  • "I believe the prices are fair."
  • "The price is a bulk average."
  • "We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
  • "We evaluated other options and, if I remember correctly, one of them was Fortinet, but they didn't seem as effective as Radware. But the price was the biggest difference. Radware had the best price for our type of network and level of scaling."
  • "We are based in El Salvador and don't have a direct license with Radware; we purchase the license through resellers. The pricing is reasonable, as I managed an Akamai product in a previous position, and Cloud WAF is competitively priced."
