Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The app control is very sensitive, and the threat detection and prevention is better than other Check Point solutions. There is a centralized management console for threat protection and self-inspection.""The solution offers sophisticated security techniques with unique characteristics that can be particularly valuable for the financial sector, which is where we develop apps.""The tool helps us to block IPs and applications.""Its main value and what we liked the most is its powerful AI.""I find the configuration and real-time monitoring features valuable.""After integrating AppSec with other applications, team members can easily work without fear of confidential information exposure.""The solution offers continuous security monitoring and alerting, which can help organizations detect and respond to security incidents in real time.""On the endpoint side, the most valuable feature is undoubtedly the cloud-based management capability, along with the ransomware protection, despite not encountering any instances so far."

"What makes this a comprehensive offering from Radware is that it combines WAF, ADA, bot management, and API protection, which is not currently available from any other provider in the market.""The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it.""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.""The API Discovery is also very good because the application is outsourced, which means that we don't have the code. API Discovery allowed me to discover precisely how to orchestrate the API so that I could see the results.""DDoS protection is a valuable feature that works efficiently.""The solution offers good protection.""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.""Cloud WAF's interface is easy to use and protects us from OWASP Top Ten threats. Our dev team do QA checks on applications before they go live, but Cloud WAF creates an additional security layer on our website."

Cons
"Cost reduction and trial period extension should be considered with some lucrative discount offerings in buying standard versions.""The coding configurations can be simplified to save time for IT teams and developers.""CloudGuard for Application Security, like the other Check Point applications, has been presenting major latency problems when entering their administrative portal.""I have faced issues with the tool's blocking aspects. It is hard to open or block web services due to the multitude of cloud centers. I have to do the process manually at times. We have a bug which is hard to solve.""The creation of security profiles for each application takes a lot of time.""For the next release, I would suggest considering features like enhanced threat intelligence integration.""There should be automation of threat detection, risk mitigation, and report generation.""There are occasions when it interfaces with other systems, leading to a loss of visibility."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Cons →

"If we want to publish services to a limited number of providers and we only want those providers to connect, we need to forward those requests to the Radware support team and they apply them, but it takes some time.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps.""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.""They have a portal for webinar training but because we are in a Spanish-speaking country, it is difficult for us to watch them. Not all of us are fluent in English, but most of the courses and webinars are in English. That part could be improved...""The integration part could be better.""The connection between the front and back ends could be improved.""The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems.""Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly and competitive."
  • "The pricing is competitive compared to other solutions on the market. So, the licensing cost is average."
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is not friendly."
  • "Considering all the benefits we've observed, we find the price to be satisfactory."
  • "It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
  • "I find the pricing to be reasonable."
  • "If the pricing for the Infinity platform covers everything, it would be more straightforward. I had a hard time selling it to our CEO as a former CFO because of the differentials. There are different deltas year to year over a five-year period. It is very difficult to explain. It would be easier to digest for our executives if there was a flatter scale"
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is comparable to other products in the market."

  • "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."
