Good feature set and is simple to deploy
In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else. We sort of stopped deploying them because of that. There are additional costs to the standard licensing. There are bandwidth prices. The feature set is quite good. We've been told to stop using them because of the price. If they can do something to address that I believe it would be better. On the latest version they've got a community edition, which is quite a good bandwidth, but in essence, it's to address the entry-level price. When you get to 10 gig bandwidth, it's way too expensive.

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

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service effectively handles zero-day attacks by rapidly identifying vulnerabilities before they can affect our organization, which enhances our proactive measures through collaboration with various teams, such as the VA team, to address vulnerabilities and apply necessary patches."
"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."
"With the current visibility dashboard, we can now obtain insight into the nature of attacks, identify attackers, and detect top IP or threat regions."
"My experience with the technical support of Radware Cloud WAF Service is that they are excellent, and I have established a strong relationship with the executive leadership up to Roy, the CEO."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"The most valuable feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted my organization by keeping us from having data breaches or denial of service attacks, which is the positive outcome of using the WAF."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
 

Cons

"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
"The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."
"The dashboard needs improvement as some users find it complex."
"The integration part of the Radware Cloud WAF Service is complex. Being a security operation engineer or a SOC engineer, managing complex devices can prove challenging."
"Although I don't consider it to have significant downsides, I believe the UI could be improved to be more user-friendly, especially for new joiners in SOC who might struggle to understand the traffic based on numerical data."
"The integration part could be better."
"The area that can improve with Radware Cloud WAF Service is the speed at which they block geo-fencing and IP for P1 cases, which currently takes about an hour. If they could reduce that to ten to 15 minutes, it would be easier for us."
"The main area for improvement is the flexibility of the security rule engine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am not directly involved in pricing and setup cost discussions, but it seems that Radware offers a more cost-effective solution compared to F5. It is considered a good value for our budget."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"The price is a bulk average."
"We evaluated other options and, if I remember correctly, one of them was Fortinet, but they didn't seem as effective as Radware. But the price was the biggest difference. Radware had the best price for our type of network and level of scaling."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"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."
