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."
"I like the reliability of the system since it's quite reliable."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service offers better protection and can even provide significantly better security."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service can immediately determine the cause of problems and easily mitigates the vulnerabilities and attacks that it sees."
"One of the most valuable features we have found in the solution is protection against attacks from botnet networks and the requests that these remote networks can generate that are blocked from our servers. That frees us from having to deal with that traffic."
"The API Discovery is also very good because the application is outsourced, which means that we don't have the code. API Discovery allowed me to discover precisely how to orchestrate the API so that I could see the results."
"From a financial point of view, we no longer need to appropriate more horsepower to our backend web servers constantly to service these requests because Cloud WAF is preventing malicious bots from accessing our web page. It reduced the load on our backend."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
"Radware gives us greater confidence in the availability and security of our assets, allowing our team to focus less on infrastructure protection and more on our core responsibilities."
 

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."
"The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems."
"Radware could improve technical support by resolving cases in fewer days. This would enhance the overall experience with the product."
"Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten because there are some issues in the cloud part, where it lags."
"I would like to see an improvement in the twenty-four-seven support service."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve by possibly offering greater availability in Spanish for support, as generally there are English-speaking engineers, which might represent a challenge for some people."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps."
"The reporting features could be more intuitive with more real-time monitoring, which would help make faster decisions."
"The only improvement I have directly for Radware is its costs, because they are very high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
