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.

Pros

"The best features Radware Cloud WAF Service offers are that the platform integrates application DDoS protections into a single unified dashboard, which is much better for me."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is great in terms of blocking unknown threats and attacks; everything seems perfect to me, and I have no complaints or issues regarding the blocking capability."
"I definitely recommend this product to other users, as it is a good product for those needing to protect their applications from fake account creations and web application attacks."
"The solution offers good protection."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service positively impacts my organization as it saves us headaches when we have attacks since it blocks them, and I have noticed a specific change in security, a reduction of incidents, and improvements in response times since I started using the tool, as problems have decreased with fewer attacks."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service blocks threats effectively, providing a comprehensive report that shows the traffic and denied traffic from malicious IPs or specific countries, so I am satisfied."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted our organization by giving us peace of mind with suspicious traffic, fewer web security concerns on public services, and more confidence in the protection of our applications."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has reduced our false positive rate by more than 50% and is one of the best tools as we can easily block and reduce our alerts through IP blocking."
"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 could improve technical support by resolving cases in fewer days. This would enhance the overall experience with the product."
"If we want to publish services to a limited number of providers and we only want those providers to connect, we need to forward those requests to the Radware support team and they apply them, but it takes some time."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve by possibly offering greater availability in Spanish for support, as generally there are English-speaking engineers, which might represent a challenge for some people."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service can be improved in security features, as they can mitigate DDoS attacks and security threats."
"Radware needs to improve the certificate renewal process for customers who want to be secured with HTTPS."
"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."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
"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."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
