Featured Reviews

Tanuj-Garg - PeerSpot reviewer
API discovery, bot defense, and DDoS capability optimize application security and development
I see areas in Radware Cloud WAF Service for improvement, specifically in its initial tuning period, because the machine learning model takes two to three weeks for baseline behavior establishment. Closely monitoring alerts during this period is essential to avoid false positives. There's an alert noise issue; during the early stages, we received a high volume of alerts for minor issues, requiring collaboration with the SOC team to fine-tune thresholds and concentrate on genuine threats. The documentation is not up to par, as while the platform's system is robust, the documentation, particularly for API integration, could be more developer-friendly with real-world use cases.
Akshit Malik - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides website security, safeguarding against various threats and effective protection against DDoS attacks
The initial setup is moderate because it's neither too easy nor too hard. Sucuri provides us with many ways to set up our site, handle the routing, and perform the necessary configurations. It's deployed on the cloud. We used the managed service of Sucuri and then routed all the requests from Sucuri to our AWS platform.

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 feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal."
"The most important aspect of Radware Cloud WAF is that it is over the cloud, offering a comprehensive solution that includes WAF, API protection, bots, and Layer 7 DDoS."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has improved our efficiency by about 95%."
"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."
"Cloud WAF's interface is easy to use and protects us from OWASP Top Ten threats. Our dev team do QA checks on applications before they go live, but Cloud WAF creates an additional security layer on our website."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"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."
"Geo-blocking is one of the most valuable features we use the most; most of our users are in North, Central, and South America, so we use geo-blocking to block access from other countries."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."
"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."
"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 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

"Additionally, alert messages for DDoS attacks or other things take time to reach us, causing delays in our response."
"Sometimes, I encounter issues with password reset."
"Management often asks for detailed reporting on attacks such as botnet and zero-day attacks, including the number of attacks within a month, week, or day. Improving dashboard capabilities to provide this information clearly for management is crucial."
"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."
"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."
"An area of improvement is the visibility at the attack level."
"Radware could improve technical support by resolving cases in fewer days. This would enhance the overall experience with the product."
"The dashboard of Radware Cloud WAF Service has room for improvement. While it works effectively, it can feel complex and might need some initial guidance, but once users become familiar with it, the operation becomes smooth."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"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."
"The price is a bulk average."
"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
"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."
