Granular api security has freed team resources and reduced effort but detection accuracy needs work
The feature that stands out to me the most about Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF is the API protection, as many managed WAF rule sets are originally designed around traditional websites, but Cloudbric integrates a dedicated API protection module aimed at REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, XML validation, and API-specific attacks. My experience with the API protection module is positive, as I had one implementation for a mobile backend and some FinTech APIs where Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF really worked wonders for that setup, requiring minimal modifications or tweaking. Another thing I appreciate about Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF is that it does not force me into a monolithic package, allowing for selective deployments where I can choose specific protections such as only malicious IP, thus providing flexibility to control costs and capacity consumption. Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by freeing up human resources that would otherwise be dedicated to creating and managing WAF rules, helping me reduce costs as I can streamline WAF rules for some applications and deploy protection in less than an hour instead of days or weeks.

The solution is stable and has the ability to extend the built-in logic, but is difficult to deploy
FICO needs to provide a better user experience and user interface. Unfortunately, our clients are not able to add customization by themselves. So this limits their ability to use the solution. FICO Blaze is a complex technology, so it's more about engineering work. This means that we need to hire developers who will learn FICO Blaze as technology and use it. Without development knowledge, it is impossible to use the solution. Our clients do not always have a budget to hire huge salaried engineers, and they want to be able to tune small changes by themselves, but unfortunately, they can't because again, Blaze is really a complex technology. Currently, the solution's interface allows for really simple changes to be made by our clients. I would like to have an easier user-friendly interface to allow for more changes to be made by the client without the need for an engineer. This is not true for all companies. We are talking about some real strategies when we have a lot of decision tables, rules, and decision graphs. Because it's really hard for our business users/customers to make low-level customizations by themselves. The main reason why we switched to other solutions is that we don't see the possibility with FICO Blaze Advisor and vector of FICA company that they think to improve this because they created the decision model. This is an extension of FICO Blaze with some new modern UI items, but it's still not working 100 percent. Unfortunately, we see that it's a huge gap nowadays with this old technology that's why we continue to search for new software which we'll use.

Pros

"Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by freeing up human resources that would otherwise be dedicated to creating and managing WAF rules, helping me reduce costs as I can streamline WAF rules for some applications and deploy protection in less than an hour instead of days or weeks."
"Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by improving both security and efficiency when deploying these services without having to manage or create those WAF rules myself."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the algorithm they use in the retail version. The execution there is very optimized - so even though we have a huge service with huge counter rules, we still get the results in milliseconds. That is something amazing I found about this tool."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the IDE."
"FICO Blaze Advisor has improved our organization in a couple of ways, giving better control to the business users through its rule maintenance application where they can view and modify business rules on their own and deploy them with a few clicks, while also providing a centralized repository that detaches business logic from the actual applications across multiple platforms."
"Prior to working with Blaze Advisor, we were manually writing the decision management rules in Java."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it has a fast engine for decision processing."
"Scorecard feature adds value to the lending business by predicting the behavior of the customers."
"The solution is customizable, so you can create your own data items and variables to suit your needs."
 

Cons

"I find that the only drawbacks with Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF are its less market penetration, especially in North America and Europe, resulting in fewer community reviews, published case studies, and a small ecosystem of users, along with less third-party validation and occasional false positives triggered by API payload or JSON bodies."
"IDE is sometimes unstable especially if are corrupted objects or versioning system data."
"More online support such as a knowledge base should be available."
"FICO needs to provide a better user experience and user interface."
"FICO Blaze Advisor is still missing things for maintaining the version of something. For example, we have gates for programming, for storing, or scripts. In there, one developer can prepare a file or a piece of code or something, and another developer can work on the same code or on the same text file or something, and you can manage it. This is missing in FICO Blaze Advisor."
"The developer's tools on their optimized version should be a little bit more user friendly. Additionally, it really doesn't pick up the actual exception or error of what the developers are getting."
"It's sometimes difficult to keep track of changes because there are no notifications, so you're unaware of any changes until you encounter that piece of code."
"I would like to see more help on the internet and more training over the internet. They only have a few blogs there, so that should be increased."
"The initial setup of FICO Blaze Advisor was somewhat complex. The implementation took approximately three to four months. However, I left halfway through the process, I am not sure of the exact timeframe."
