We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"F5 Shape Security's most valuable feature is performance.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of configuration."

More F5 Shape Security Pros →

"The real-time monitoring and reporting are very good. There are information updates in their portal every two minutes. They also have the ability to spill it into Sumo Logic, for example. It's very easy to use.""We like the website protection. It's really good. The dashboard is really simple to use.""The feature I find most valuable is the user-friendly dashboard. It is easy to understand how everything works and it allows you to make decisions quickly and efficiently.""Reblaze knows how to manage security. For me as, someone who knows little about security, it's good that I have a firm that optimizes everything according to their standards. It's their responsibility and they are fully hands-on.""It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease.""Provides mobile app security.""The most valuable features were the real-time monitoring and the management. With this kind of product, you need a very good management system to allow you to see false positives in real-time; to see what's happening in real-time... The clarity stood out. It was very visible and very easy to navigate; very easy to find the data we were looking for.""I very much like the elastic search and reports, allowing us to have a 360-degree view of the customer's activities and enabling us to track down any suspicious bots."

Cons
"The tool's price is high.""I want the solution's custom exclusion rules to be more granular."

More F5 Shape Security Cons →

"We have multiple products behind different instances of Reblaze. We have one instance for staging and then we have a production instance for multiple products. One of the things that we have requested is a unified view panel, so that we can see each of the instances in a unified view. That way, we won't have to go bouncing from instance to instance.""They have an interface that you have to adjust to. That is a bit of a downfall because I expect an interface to be very intuitive for someone who knows little about security. But if you know about security, the interface is wonderful.""It would be beneficial if it had a workflow or a feature that could fine-tune settings based on high-level requirements.""The WAF features are not as granular as we would expect from a WAF system. There should be more granularity and in-depth rules, out-of-the-box.""Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing.""The next release should have next-generation automation.""Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients.""I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is moderately priced."
  • More F5 Shape Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On a monthly basis we pay $750."
  • "I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."
  • "There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."
  • "We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."
