Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""DDoS protection is a valuable feature that works efficiently.""I particularly appreciate the low administrative burden of this solution, as well as the excellent monitoring tools.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI.""The API Discovery is also very good because the application is outsourced, which means that we don't have the code. API Discovery allowed me to discover precisely how to orchestrate the API so that I could see the results.""One of the most valuable features we have found in the solution is protection against attacks from botnet networks and the requests that these remote networks can generate that are blocked from our servers. That frees us from having to deal with that traffic.""The solution offers good protection."

"We use SonicWall Web Application Firewall for security and tunneling.""The solution offers better data protection than competitors.""Capture ATP is a good additional feature in the latest version."

Cons
"The integration part could be better.""The connection between the front and back ends could be improved.""We've had some issues with putting certificates in.""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.""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.""Our only complaint is the reporting on the DDoS side. We also use Radware for on-premises DDoS protection and their Vision product. I just want to give paint you an example. We face so many Layer 3 and Layer 4 DDoS attacks on Cloud WAF. The reporting on those types of attacks can be improved.""Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps."

More Radware Cloud WAF Service Cons →

"We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS.""We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version.""The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
  • "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."
  • "I believe the prices are fair."
  • "The price is a bulk average."
  • "We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
  • "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."
  • "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."
