Carla Vega - PeerSpot reviewer
Defensive cybersecurity engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automated protection has streamlined attack mitigation and now safeguards critical services
I consider the best feature that Radware Cloud WAF Service offers is protection against application layer attacks, layer seven, mainly. That layer seven protection has benefited me significantly by reducing false positives and guaranteeing service availability for us. I have positive impressions of the API Discovery feature, since it allows me to discover APIs. The API Discovery feature has helped me register some APIs that I didn't have, and it has also made it easier for me in my integrations with other services. It has seemed a very useful and easy-to-use functionality given its platform. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks as very effective, since recently, given the PHP vulnerability, it helped us to mitigate that type of attack until we carried out patching and mitigation. I use the automatic source blocking feature in Radware's cloud application protection solution, and the experience has been very good, as the functionality helps us in the detection and protection of applications. The proactive and holistic approach based on correlation between modules has been effective in protecting my applications since, as the modules are from the same vendor, they allow us more native integration and they operate more efficiently. My opinion of the automated analytics for event review that the platform offers is positive, as sending metrics on a monthly basis in order to optimize our services, and the automated analytics helps us provide that report. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks as very good, as it allows us to block unknown threats and attacks thanks to its knowledge base. I consider the combination of negative and positive security models based on behavior important for my organization's security strategy, since attackers are constantly evolving and modifying IOCs, which challenges us to use this kind of behavioral analysis for more efficient detection. I consider that Bot Manager would help in my compliance efforts, since the reports we are requested are quarterly, mainly for regulatory compliance that we have. Regarding Radware Cloud WAF Service's artificial intelligence capabilities, I think its governance and security level seem appropriate. The accuracy and reliability of the results offered by the platform's artificial intelligence convince me, since the AI helps us automate some processes and searches.

Security posture management has provided clear SaaS and AI agent risk visibility and alerts
I am not using the inclusion of LLMs in the knowledge graph yet; to be honest, I see that it's showing things, but until now, I don't see big value on that. Apart from the integration with Copilot Studio that I mentioned, I would like to see more posture security controls added in some SaaS applications; I see a few of them, but it could have more. I would like to see real-time detection in prompts included to Reco in the next releases, maybe in Copilot Studio to see if I have any attack or prompt injection or whatever in Copilot Studio and all the agent platforms to inspect those prompts.

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 features of Radware Cloud WAF Service include its automation and learning capabilities for protection, as well as its superior bot mitigation."
"In the Radware Cloud WAF Service, the best features I find are that it's easy to use and that it's easy to identify what procedures are ongoing within this environment."
"The best features of Radware Cloud WAF Service are valuable for protecting our domains with day-to-day attacks, including fake URLs, so that we can maintain our domains to best practice for the users."
"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 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."
"The solution offers good protection."
"The interface is quite concise and clear, and it is easy to navigate."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service ensures our systems are stable, running smoothly, and blocking all attacks effectively."
"Reco has had a positive impact on my organization primarily in terms of affected users and applications, such as identifying which SaaS application or platform is involved and understanding permissions related to data exposure and access."
"We have seen a positive return on investment, estimating that the initial investigation effort has dropped by roughly fifty percent."
"What I like about Reco is that it's pretty easy to integrate with the applications; it's almost plug and play."
"What I appreciated most about Reco was its strong detection capability."
 

Cons

"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."
"I do not currently have integration with a SIEM, but I have a SIEM integration planned for the next two months as I implement new tools to complete my cybersecurity area."
"The reporting features could be more intuitive with more real-time monitoring, which would help make faster decisions."
"There should be more customization options for the dashboard, as it is currently fixed and cannot be modified."
"The dashboard needs improvement as some users find it complex."
"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..."
"API integration and documentation need to be improved. There should be more detailed documentation for API usage, rate limiting, CNAME, and DDoS functions. A lot of articles need to be added to their portal."
"Regarding aspects that Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve, I would suggest that at the start, on the home interface, having dashboards that help us summarize and extract metrics would be beneficial."
"What I disliked about Reco was that it sometimes produced a lot of false positives."
"To be honest, I see that it's showing things, but until now, I don't see big value on that."
"My impression of the accuracy and reliability of Reco's AI output is that there is a lot of manual analysis the security team has to do."
"Reco can be improved because sometimes it gives false positives and I need more data about alert investigations, as it currently provides only a few details for faster investigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is a bulk average."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"The pricing is fair."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"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."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"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."
