Featured Reviews

Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Pankaj Kaushik - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced security features and top-notch support help manage threat detection and API sprawl efficiently
It's medium to difficult to use the Radware API Discovery due to its complexity. I have almost two and a half years of experience, so I'm familiar with this service, but recently, we have had new engineers rolled into our operations teams, and they are finding it challenging to understand from the start because of this complexity and the different approaches for hardening and best practices to ensure everything runs smoothly. So, for a new user, it's between medium to difficult based on the complexity. The implementation of Radware Cloud WAF Service is complex. However, this complexity is not solely attributed to the Cloud WAF, as we have experienced compatibility issues with different vendor devices that have hindered integration. While we can integrate it, we definitely face challenges if the engineer does not know exactly how to execute it. The command for the integrations and the procedure are somewhat complex, yet it's really helpful overall. We haven't encountered a single device suggesting that Radware is not compatible for integration. We wanted to integrate with some Cisco devices, but due to version gaps, Cisco TAC informed us that those devices are not compatible for integration with Radware.
Eduardo Oviedo-Blanco - PeerSpot reviewer
A CDN solution to enhance loading times and streamline navigation
When one of the primary nodes spanning from North to South America, from the northern US to the southern US, became operational, it had a big impact. It can be challenging to explain its advantages to clients. The technical nature of the marketing material is too technical for stakeholders. Integrating the solution was straightforward, requiring no extra effort. Edgio Global CDN operates, resembling familiar cloud services but offering elevated functionality. Unlike platforms such as Google Cloud Platform or RIN geared towards development teams, Edgio emphasizes client-facing services that are integral to our operations. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"We feel safe using Radware, and we are happy with it."
"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 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."
"A favorite feature of the Radware Cloud WAF Service is the OWASP Top 10; this is the basic feature, and they are getting into AI, which makes it quite smart."
"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."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"The solution offers good protection."
"I highly recommend this product to others because I'm satisfied with the mitigation and proactive protection."
"The Rules Engine V4 is the most valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use and easy to implement."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Uplynk platform for streaming purposes."
"It's super easy to use and integrate with."
"The customer support and service responsiveness were excellent."
 

Cons

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"DNS Management."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"An area of improvement is the visibility at the attack level."
"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 some cases, if the configuration of rules is too strict or complex, there might be a possibility that genuine traffic gets blocked or considered a false positive."
"The reporting features could be more intuitive with more real-time monitoring, which would help make faster decisions."
"The dashboard needs improvement as some users find it complex."
"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 Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more global endpoints for their CDN and a lower price."
"We could not create more than 15 custom rules."
"The tool needs to resolve its lack of innovation."
"The web interface of the Verizon Edgecast portal is very old. It's not user-friendly, slow, and it is missing some valuable features like the ability to make bulk changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"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."
"The price is a bulk average."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
"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."
"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 I modeled it out, we are spending somewhere between $600 to $800 a month with Verizon EdgeCast."
"Be careful about the options because to have all the features can be very expensive."
"The product is cheaper compared to other solutions."
