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.

Helps us to monitor attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them
Set up Wallarm as a reverse proxy. Do not replace your web server. Use Wallarm first in monitoring mode, then learn from Wallarm which type of request is false positive and which type of request is not. This process takes a couple of weeks for very highly-loaded web applications (few millions of unique visitors in one month). Then you can turn Wallarm into blocking mode and everything will be fine. Do not forget to build a monitoring system, the wave, and API for it. Before we started using Wallarm, I already knew Ivan (CEO) and Stepan (COO) from a couple of years before. Ivan had his own security company and Stepan was working on a Russian security magazine called Xakep. They told us that they wanted to create a new WAF and already had a working version of it. They asked me to test it. We did tests, and it was really good. After few month after testing, we signed an agreement. Our choice was made not because we knew these guys for a long time, but because the product was really cool and we were glad to start using it as one of the first on the market!

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features I find most valuable about Radware Cloud WAF Service are primarily rate-limiting, geo-blocking, web DDoS protection, and some other basic features."
"No valuable quote was provided in the review."
"Overall, the Radware Cloud WAF Service has helped reduce our false positives significantly, reducing our bandwidth cost, and we can say it has halved the bandwidth cost by blocking true positive attack traffic."
"What I appreciate most about Radware Cloud WAF Service is that it includes all the aspects that an organization wants to run smoothly, such as overall configuration and real-time protection methods, customization of rule creation, fast deployment, and vital visibility in environment maintenance."
"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."
"The best features of Radware Cloud WAF Service are valuable for protecting our domains with day-to-day attacks, including fake URLs, so that we can maintain our domains to best practice for the users."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks is very good; the threat intelligence feature is excellent in the WAF and helps us protect against zero-day threats significantly, notifying us as early as possible and helping us get it resolved."
"It has features such as API security that protect against advanced attacks, including business logic attacks. It comes with additional functionalities such as bot protection and AI-driven threat signatures, along with threat intelligence, making it much more than the traditional WAF that we have on-prem."
"Perimeter control and active vulnerability scanner are the most valuable features."
"With active threat detection, we are no longer over-swamped with tons of useless events."
"They are the only solution that fits our success criteria and business objectives: WAF must have a low (<5%) false negative rate and be ready to protect from all well-known web attacks."
"The most powerful feature is the ability to first learn what type of query to make to your web application when it is attacked and what type of query creates a false positive to your app."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"Vulnerability scanner and WAF are valuable features."
 

Cons

"The reporting features could be more intuitive with more real-time monitoring, which would help make faster decisions."
"Regarding aspects that Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve, I would suggest that at the start, on the home interface, having dashboards that help us summarize and extract metrics would be beneficial."
"The log feature in Radware Cloud WAF Service has some limitations."
"The connection between the front and back ends could be improved."
"Although I don't consider it to have significant downsides, I believe the UI could be improved to be more user-friendly, especially for new joiners in SOC who might struggle to understand the traffic based on numerical data."
"The only improvement I have directly for Radware is its costs, because they are very high."
"We received a notification where Radware Cloud WAF Service stopped working properly in our cloud environment without any prior notification."
"Radware's bot manager can be improved because it's very complicated to implement for apps. Radware could also add alerts by WhatsApp or Telegram. It only sends notifications via email or SMS."
"There were several stability issues during the first pilot."
"It needs more customization in PDF reports."
"Technical support is 6 or 7 out of 10. Sometimes we have had trouble with communication and understanding."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
"Wallarm uses a learning mechanism to detect attacks and to avoid false positives. If Wallarm blocks some illegitimate request, then you can go to the management console and mark this request as false positive, but sometimes this does not work properly."
 

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."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"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."
"​Pricing must be cheaper than the competition and the licensing must be good.​"
