Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager."
"It also has antivirus and DDoS mitigation capabilities. We have enabled these features."
"This solution inspects your traffic and based on that, automatically create distinct qualities for you, so you can add this to the policy already created. That's what I like most."
"Provides good protection from attacks."
"This solution is an enterprise-class firewall that provides both load-balancing and security."
"Very easy to implement and works well."
"I like all of the features, but the main one is the attack signatures."
"I like the security features, especially against SQL injection."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"There is a gap in report management."
"The solution should include protection against web page attacks like what is available in FortiWeb."
"We usually use a third-party tool for logging and reporting. It would be nice if we could do that right on this solution. They have one, but it's not very stable. Logging and reporting effectively would be a big enhancement."
"One area for improvement in the product is its SSO integration, which posed challenges and required significant effort to resolve."
"For me, an area for improvement in F5 Advanced WAF is the reporting as it isn't so clear. The vendor needs to work on the reporting capability of the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of F5 Advanced WAF is threat intelligence to protect your web application, particularly having that capability out-of-the-box, and not needing to pay extra for it, similar to what's offered in FortiWeb, for example, any request that originates from a malicious IP will be blocked automatically by FortiWeb. F5 Advanced WAF should have the intelligence for blocking malicious IPs, or automatically blocking threats included in the license, instead of making it an add-on feature that users have to pay for apart from the standard licensing fees."
"I would like to see the API Protection improved."
"The solution is tedious. It takes a lot of discrete settings so one needs to get detailed and granular when they use the solution. It takes you a whole lot of energy and concentration to configure. It needs to be much more straight-forward, like other web solutions."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
