Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."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."
"It also has antivirus and DDoS mitigation capabilities. We have enabled these features."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"F5 Advanced WAF has very good stability and scalability. Its initial setup was straightforward."
"F5 Advanced WAF helps our engineers to learn the complete configuration, including fundamental and advanced policies."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Advanced WAF is its ability to have a pool of resources that can distribute your traffic, and that is a plus for me. My company tried to look into a competitor, Imperva, but it was lacking that capability, so F5 Advanced WAF outperforms Imperva."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Advanced WAF is its grand unity of the implementation, where you have the freedom to configure based on how it affects your use case or your organization. With the default setting of implicit deny, you can gradually start defining and deploying the tool to align with your environment, whether it is outdated, recent, or futuristic. This allows you to customize the solution to protect you from threat actors. You have the ability to define what the advanced threat act should do - whether it should alert, deny, or both - and it will deliver based on your configuration. Unlike other online solutions, F5 Advanced WAF provides flexibility to deliver to your unique environment the way you want."
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"There is a gap in report management."
"I would like to see a better interface and better documentation compatibility with other products. It's more complicated with OWASP."
"There should be more ability to rate limit certain scenarios. The majority of the time, it is either on or off. For certain types of use cases, there should be the ability to rate limit, not just enable or disable."
"The interface is old-looking, it's not modern, which is why it's not always comfortable to use."
"Nevertheless, F5 products are generally considered to be hard to deploy."
"They could provide better pricing."
"The reporting could be clearer and embedded to include our movement data."
"The contextual-based component needs a lot of help to catch up with the next-gen products."
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
