Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."I like the security features, especially against SQL injection."
"I like all of the features, but the main one is the attack signatures."
"It's scalable and very easy to manage."
"F5 Advanced WAF helps our engineers to learn the complete configuration, including fundamental and advanced policies."
"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."
"Good dashboard and reporting."
"F5 Advanced WAF is a stable solution, we are satisfied. It is more stable than ForiWeb."
"One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"There is a learning curve that extends the time of implementation."
"We get false positives sometimes."
"The interface is old-looking, it's not modern, which is why it's not always comfortable to use."
"One area for improvement in the product is its SSO integration, which posed challenges and required significant effort to resolve."
"F5 Advanced needs to improve its bot protection. The solution needs to have machine learning to learn the behavior of the customer to recognize the human versus the bot. This is a difficult feature to explain to our customers. I would like documentation about the bot feature to make it easier for the customer to understand."
"The solution could improve by having an independent capture module. It has a built feature that you can deploy the capture on your published website. However, it's not very user-friendly. When you compare this feature to Google Capture or other enterprise captures, they are very simple. It needs a good connection to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. When you implement this feature in the data center, you may suffer some complications with connecting to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. This should be improved in the future."
"The BIG-IQ is supposed to centralize the management for all of the boxes but it's not very effective."
"The pricing could be more flexible."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
