Featured Reviews

Arshad Nr - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Consultant at CyberNxt Solutions LLP
Provides comprehensive executive vulnerability scanning report for applications
Dashboards are very helpful for showcasing Top 5 attacked applications, Top 5 Vulnerable applications, and Top 5 Vulnerabilities affected in Applications. It helped me to prioritize the resources to secure and showcase the same to management. We don't need to analyze manually to identify all the applications and logs to find top priorities. The Apptrana helped to identify it.

SOC Analyst at Adani Enterprises Ltd
Has significantly improved threat visibility and reduced false positives through intelligent bot detection and real-time analysis
The best features of Radware Cloud WAF Service that I prefer most include the bot protection. Its deployment was very smooth and flexible when I started deploying it. The reporting and visibility feature of the Bot Manager are noteworthy, as the dashboard gives clear insight into the traffic, activity, and block threats. The AI threat intelligence feature is quite impressive. In terms of blocking unknown threats and attacks, I assess Radware Cloud WAF Service as quite impressive; if I have to rate it out of 10, I would rate it eight and a half. The automated analytics for looking at events with Radware Cloud WAF Service is generally fine, and whenever we use it, it gives almost perfect results. In API protection with Radware Cloud WAF Service, we have multiple applications that we are using currently, and whenever there is any threat related to an API, it helps us provide detailed insight. Additionally, whenever there is unusual API traffic, it helps us monitor and detect threats.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"AppTrana helped us to protect the public-hosted Web, API, and Mobile applications by acting as a strong WAF solution which has Machine learning compatibility that analyzes and blocks the Behavior DDoS attacks."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"The best features Radware Cloud WAF Service offers include ease of use, which is quite easy to set up within our network, along with scalability and performance."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted our organization by giving us peace of mind with suspicious traffic, fewer web security concerns on public services, and more confidence in the protection of our applications."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has had a positive impact on my organization through its great ability to detect unauthorized access, as incidents have decreased and the performance of our machines has improved."
"The automatic detection from Radware Cloud WAF is invaluable, and the support is outstanding."
"It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."
"The most advanced feature is the DDoS protection and the way this web handles DDoS attacks, as I am currently working in the SOC team and managing the Radware administration part."
"The features I find most valuable about Radware Cloud WAF Service are primarily rate-limiting, geo-blocking, web DDoS protection, and some other basic features."
 

Cons

"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
"AppTrana should improve its backend and frontend connections and loading speed. It is slower compared to other cloud solutions and sometimes it does not sync properly with front-end options and backend."
"Sometimes, I encounter issues with password reset, particularly in the last two weeks. This indicates some reliability issues or problems within the management interface."
"I would like to see an improvement in the twenty-four-seven support service."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"The connection between the front and back ends could be improved."
"API integration and documentation need to be improved. There should be more detailed documentation for API usage, rate limiting, CNAME, and DDoS functions. A lot of articles need to be added to their portal."
"I also want the possibility of seeing traffic in real time because I only see a dashboard with the security events, but in regards to real time, I don't see something that tells me how the traffic behavior is."
"There is a lot more that is expected from Radware's automated analytics for looking at events. There needs to be more context of where protection is required these days."
"Radware's bot manager can be improved because it's very complicated to implement for apps. Radware could also add alerts by WhatsApp or Telegram. It only sends notifications via email or SMS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
"We are based in El Salvador and don't have a direct license with Radware; we purchase the license through resellers. The pricing is reasonable, as I managed an Akamai product in a previous position, and Cloud WAF is competitively priced."
"The price is a bulk average."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"If you plan to deploy Cloud WAF, keep in mind that the product is priced based on the megabits of traffic that pass through and the number of transactions. You should get your requirements correct up front. The active attackers feed and CDN services cost extra, so you need to negotiate these features upfront."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
