Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Compute@Edge features are valuable to me."
"Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."
"Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute."
"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."
"WAF feature replicates the firewall."
"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The pricing is quite good."
"It does an excellent job of load balancing."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"Support is not that great."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
