Featured Reviews

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.
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 the web application firewall."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"The most important aspect of Radware Cloud WAF is that it is over the cloud, offering a comprehensive solution that includes WAF, API protection, bots, and Layer 7 DDoS."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal."
"Radware Bot Manager has been very useful. If any user tries to save a password on a mobile or a browser, it blocks that. We can see all the details about the traffic and port requests."
"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."
"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 is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service ensures our systems are stable, running smoothly, and blocking all attacks effectively."
"It has features such as API security that protect against advanced attacks, including business logic attacks. It comes with additional functionalities such as bot protection and AI-driven threat signatures, along with threat intelligence, making it much more than the traditional WAF that we have on-prem."
"I would give Radware Kubernetes WAF a rating of 10 out of 10."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve its automation."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"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 initial setup was complex and took a long time to complete."
"The connection between the front and back ends could be improved."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has drawbacks when compared to other WAF solutions, particularly because we were checking other solutions that support custom ports for application onboarding."
"To make the solution a ten out of ten, we need improvements in AI capabilities, which Radware Cloud WAF Service currently has yet it still has room for integration."
"Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution."
"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..."
"The integration part could be better."
"If Radware provides a separate web service like those offered by vendors such as F5 and Imperva, that would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"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."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"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 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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"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."
