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.

A cost-effective choice for website security and informative support with issues related to CDN quality
One area where they could improve is in providing real-time support options because now you need to open a support ticket and wait for their response. It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance. I have found their Content Delivery Network service to be lacking in quality, and it could certainly be enhanced to provide better performance. I would also like to see improvements in the deployment process, as it currently takes more time than desirable. Another significant concern is that their service when your website is down, turns it into a static site. This means that if customers try to visit your site during downtime, they will see old content from the static site, which is not ideal. The CDN and tracking services are areas that need improvement, as well as addressing their bandwidth limitations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is a ten out of ten for blocking unknown threats and attacks, using artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze traffic, detect anomalies, and automate responses to cyber threats in real time."
"No valuable quote was provided in the review."
"Malicious user agents are something that we get frequently and it has been blocking the majority of the threats, almost about 97-98% of threats are blocked, almost to 99% itself."
"It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is really good for protecting against zero-day attacks as it protects our organization and businesses effectively."
"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."
"Rather than locate some things manually, the Sucuri plugin scans and allows us to pinpoint whether there is malware or some problem in the site."
"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."
"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."
"For people who own a personal website, this solution is worth trying out since their security solution is somewhat full-fledged."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration part could be better."
"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."
"I would rate the customer support of Radware Cloud WAF Service as very improvable since they provide only pre-packaged answers."
"On the reporting side, customization options are limited; creating tailored reports is currently not possible, which is a significant drawback since full customization is crucial for effective data presentation."
"The dashboard of Radware Cloud WAF Service could be more interactive and user-friendly."
"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."
"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."
"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."
"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."
"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."
"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."
"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."
"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
