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."Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to set up the rules easily."

"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure. Mapping the certificates into it isn't easy, and it could be better. Currently, you've to write a bit of automation to pull certificates directly to HTTPS."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"It could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"Even if we create some custom rules, Signal Sciences cannot capture some of the malicious traffic."
"The areas that could be improved in Signal Sciences include the effectiveness of rules, as many didn't function optimally and required custom rule-writing to address bypasses for WAF."
