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.

It's not easy to get out once you're in
Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information. When you sign on for the paid service, Sitelock: * Hides (makes it difficult to find) that they default the auto-renew (you can't sign up without agreeing to have them automatically bill your credit card every year). * Hides (makes it difficult to find) how to stop auto-renew: * You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses. * You have to hunt their website for a link (in extremely small font) to the page which contains instructions for cancelling. * When you get to that page, turns out it's the 5000+ word "Terms of Service" document, which you have to scour to find a phone number. Then, you have to call and get put on hold (or if you like, they will call you back three days later). Once you finally get through, you have to jump through a lot of security hoops. All of the above, just to cancel the service. Their product may or may not be OK, but be forewarned that with Sitelock, it's not easy to get out once you're in.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It integrates seamlessly with our infrastructure, allowing us to manage DDoS attacks and load balancing efficiently."
"Our environment is safe due in part to behavior and anomaly detection, which provides IP-based, subnet-based, and country-based blocking."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service's Web DDoS protection, HTTP L7, has significantly helped us protect our customer networks, mitigating all types of web attacks and ensuring no fluctuations or leaks even when large numbers of malicious bot IPs are attacking our network."
"The features I find most valuable about Radware Cloud WAF Service are primarily rate-limiting, geo-blocking, web DDoS protection, and some other basic features."
"The most valuable feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."
"I like the reliability of the system since it's quite reliable."
"No valuable quote was provided in the review."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"It seems to provide a bit of useful information on website health."
"Not only did SiteLock's website scanner find the issue with my website, but with SiteLock I was able to implement a security system to prevent future breaches."
 

Cons

"Radware's bot manager can be improved because it's very complicated to implement for apps. Radware could also add alerts by WhatsApp or Telegram. It only sends notifications via email or SMS."
"It would be ideal if Radware could offer a bundled package that includes Cloud WAF, web DDoS protection, bot manager, and Alteon for a more comprehensive security solution."
"Radware could improve technical support by resolving cases in fewer days. This would enhance the overall experience with the product."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
"Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution."
"They might need to add more integrations."
"In Radware Cloud WAF Service, the areas that have room for improvement include the costing part, as we faced some issues during the implementation and POC of this WAF technology."
"Sometimes, I encounter issues with password reset."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"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 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."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"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."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
