Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.

Very secure with an easy initial setup and pretty stable
We are using the latest version of the solution. We sell this solution for financial systems. We're Oracle partners and service providers. We'll present this solution to our clients and give them a benefit analysis of the product so they can see the reasons why they need the solution or why it might help them. I'd rate this solution nine out of ten.
Pankaj Kaushik - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced security features and top-notch support help manage threat detection and API sprawl efficiently
It's medium to difficult to use the Radware API Discovery due to its complexity. I have almost two and a half years of experience, so I'm familiar with this service, but recently, we have had new engineers rolled into our operations teams, and they are finding it challenging to understand from the start because of this complexity and the different approaches for hardening and best practices to ensure everything runs smoothly. So, for a new user, it's between medium to difficult based on the complexity. The implementation of Radware Cloud WAF Service is complex. However, this complexity is not solely attributed to the Cloud WAF, as we have experienced compatibility issues with different vendor devices that have hindered integration. While we can integrate it, we definitely face challenges if the engineer does not know exactly how to execute it. The command for the integrations and the procedure are somewhat complex, yet it's really helpful overall. We haven't encountered a single device suggesting that Radware is not compatible for integration. We wanted to integrate with some Cisco devices, but due to version gaps, Cisco TAC informed us that those devices are not compatible for integration with Radware.

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 feature is its usability."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"What makes this a comprehensive offering from Radware is that it combines WAF, ADA, bot management, and API protection, which is not currently available from any other provider in the market."
"Importantly, we have not experienced any zero-day attacks because Radware Cloud offers protection against emerging threats."
"I highly recommend Radware Cloud WAF for its reliability and fast support."
"It has significantly reduced attacks on our applications."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
"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 ensures our systems are stable, running smoothly, and blocking all attacks effectively."
"A favorite feature of the Radware Cloud WAF Service is the OWASP Top 10; this is the basic feature, and they are getting into AI, which makes it quite smart."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."
"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
"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."
"They have a portal for webinar training but because we are in a Spanish-speaking country, it is difficult for us to watch them. Not all of us are fluent in English, but most of the courses and webinars are in English. That part could be improved..."
"We receive many reports from our security team of IPs flagged by our security tools, such as Palo Alto. I cannot add the file containing the IPs to get them blocked; instead, I have to contact Radware support and open a ticket for them to do it. I need to be able to block flagged IPs myself, as it currently takes more time to open a ticket, contact the support team, and wait four to six hours for a response. I want to be able to upload a file with 2,000-3,000 IPs in the console and then apply and save the configuration."
"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."
"They've changed their process for call logging. I suppose it's fine, but I used to be able to send emails in. They could also build up more local resiliency here in South Africa. They're working on that, so it isn't much of an issue now."
"In some cases, if the configuration of rules is too strict or complex, there might be a possibility that genuine traffic gets blocked or considered a false positive."
"They can work more on the documentation part. The documentation I found is quite vague."
"Radware needs to improve the certificate renewal process for customers who want to be secured with HTTPS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"We are using the free version."
"The price is reasonable."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
Information not available
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
"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. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"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."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"The pricing is fair."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
