F5 Advanced WAF vs Indusface AppTrana comparison

"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are the easy identification of events and customization. We can pinpoint our settings."

"We can monitor IP locations, but we have constraints from each country. It has a replication feature. Licenses can be shared, taking turns with each license."

"The AOF solution provides numerous security features."

"Good dashboard and reporting."

"There is no need to worry about updating signatures because WAF will automatically update the signatures for you."

"Very easy to implement and works well."

"F5 Advanced WAF is a comprehensive community platform with a strong commitment, making it valuable for businesses."

"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are the overall capabilities, there is not a comparable solution on the market."

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."

"One improvement for AOF could be focusing on enhancing its AI engine to make it more mature."

"Users would like to have an additional IP intelligence license to handle this within WAF itself without needing to engage with the SOC team."

"One area for improvement in the product is its SSO integration, which posed challenges and required significant effort to resolve."

"The solution's dashboard could be improved. When you're moving from policy to policy, the logs and the integration of the logs in other systems aren't straightforward."

"Support is a little slow."

"The user interface (UI) seems a bit outdated. Making it more user-friendly would be beneficial."

"Its price should be better. It is expensive."

"It should be a little bit easy to deploy in terms of the overall deployment session. One of our customers is a bit unhappy about the reporting options. Currently, it automatically deletes event logs after some limit if a customer doesn't have any external Syslog server. It is a problem for those customers who want to review event logs after a week or so because they won't get proper reports or event logs. They should increase the duration to at least a month or two for storing the data on the device. F5 is not a leader in Gartner Quadrant, which affects us when we go and pitch this solution. Customers normally go and take a look at such annual reports, and because F5 is currently not there as a leader, the customers ask about it even though we are saying it is good in all things. F5 is not known for something totally different or unique. They were a major player in ADP, and they are just rebranding themselves into security. They should improve or increase their marketing as a security company now. They have already started to do that, but they should do it more so that when it comes to security, customers can easily remember F5. At the moment, if we say F5, load balancing comes to mind. With rebranding and marketing, all customers should get the idea that F5 is now mainly focusing on the security part of it, and it is a security company instead of load balancing. This is the first solution that should come to a customer's mind for a web application firewall."

"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."

"There is a perpetual license that comes with your hardware. There is also an additional fee for support."

"F5 Advanced WAF pricing structure should be adjusted to meet the need of small to medium-sized companies."

"F5 Advanced WAF's pricing is high."

"I don't have any issue with the pricing of this solution."

"There are various plans available for Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF as a Service, including a trial version."

"F5 Advanced WAF is not a cost-effective solution. Although they are attempting to reduce prices with their VE and cloud options, they are more expensive than other solutions. The solution is more expensive on average."

"I rate F5 Advanced WAF's pricing a three out of ten."

"It is expensive. Its price should be better. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. Its licensing is also based on the model. There are no additional costs."

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
