Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail.""The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."

"The web application firewall itself is most valuable. It provides positive security and negative security. In negative security, it blocks a task such as cross-site scripting, code injection, etc. In positive security, it lets you specify and enforce things, such as the parameters allowed in username and password fields and the number of characters allowed in a field.""I like the security features, especially against SQL injection.""F5 Advanced WAF secures our connectivity and combines both the main functions of WAF (balancing and web application security).""One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager.""There are a lot of good features.""Good technology for mitigating different application attacks, e.g. DDoS, DNS, and layer seven attacks.""Good dashboard and reporting.""The solution isn't too expensive. The license allows you to license what you need and leave out what you don't need."

Cons
"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed.""The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."

More Comodo cWatch Cons →

"The tool needs to improve its pricing.""The delay times on firmware patches and software updates could be better and improved.""The Sandbox integration feature could be improved.""I would like for there to be a cloud-based solution, this would also help to improve scalability.""I would like to see additional controls.""While F5 Advanced WAF does limit the number of partners in certain regions to ensure successful business transactions, they could also benefit from expanding their partnerships and making it easier for more people to learn about and become experts in F5 Advanced WAF. By doing so, they could increase the reach and exposure of their solution, similar to how Cisco has become widely recognized in the security industry.""The solution should include RASP for another level of protection at the code itself.""There is a gap in report management."
