Carla Vega - PeerSpot reviewer
Defensive cybersecurity engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automated protection has streamlined attack mitigation and now safeguards critical services
I consider the best feature that Radware Cloud WAF Service offers is protection against application layer attacks, layer seven, mainly. That layer seven protection has benefited me significantly by reducing false positives and guaranteeing service availability for us. I have positive impressions of the API Discovery feature, since it allows me to discover APIs. The API Discovery feature has helped me register some APIs that I didn't have, and it has also made it easier for me in my integrations with other services. It has seemed a very useful and easy-to-use functionality given its platform. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks as very effective, since recently, given the PHP vulnerability, it helped us to mitigate that type of attack until we carried out patching and mitigation. I use the automatic source blocking feature in Radware's cloud application protection solution, and the experience has been very good, as the functionality helps us in the detection and protection of applications. The proactive and holistic approach based on correlation between modules has been effective in protecting my applications since, as the modules are from the same vendor, they allow us more native integration and they operate more efficiently. My opinion of the automated analytics for event review that the platform offers is positive, as sending metrics on a monthly basis in order to optimize our services, and the automated analytics helps us provide that report. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks as very good, as it allows us to block unknown threats and attacks thanks to its knowledge base. I consider the combination of negative and positive security models based on behavior important for my organization's security strategy, since attackers are constantly evolving and modifying IOCs, which challenges us to use this kind of behavioral analysis for more efficient detection. I consider that Bot Manager would help in my compliance efforts, since the reports we are requested are quarterly, mainly for regulatory compliance that we have. Regarding Radware Cloud WAF Service's artificial intelligence capabilities, I think its governance and security level seem appropriate. The accuracy and reliability of the results offered by the platform's artificial intelligence convince me, since the AI helps us automate some processes and searches.

User interface needs refinement while providing robust security and cost management
Xops helps me with cloud finance management by allowing me to monitor my spending, and just a couple of months ago, I noticed that my AWS bill, which usually hovers around 50k monthly, spiked unexpectedly. I received an alert on the dashboard and via email about a sudden increase in usage, enabling me to rectify the actual problem and bring things back to normal. The best features of Xops, in my experience, include the FinOps component for checking unnecessary spending trends, the cloud security features, and the cybersecurity and workload security features that allow me to frequently check for vulnerabilities on images and websites. The cloud security feature of Xops stands out to me because it helps maintain compliance status by providing multiple compliance checks, including ISO and CIS benchmarks, and it is not limited to AWS, as it also includes Azure cloud scans and O365 cloud scans, allowing me to monitor security across various platforms. Other useful features of Xops include asset management tools and automation scripts, which help me check what assets I have across all regions, giving me a global view whenever I need it. Xops has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to save money and proactively detect issues, especially related to cloud spending, while also improving my routine security checks for any misconfigurations. While some metrics are difficult to quantify, I regularly run scans to catch security vulnerabilities that may arise due to changing user settings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is quite concise and clear, and it is easy to navigate."
"The DDoS attack mitigation and bot mitigation have worked well for us, as we implement rate limits to requests and block connections from countries like China where we don't have clients, which has helped us to identify and block these attacks."
"We are achieving six to seven ms latency, so we are very much happy with the performance and the solution uses."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Radware Cloud WAF Service include its automation and learning capabilities for protection, as well as its superior bot mitigation."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"X-Ops has significantly improved our organization by streamlining cloud cost governance and enhancing the security posture across our AWS trading environment."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include the Cloud FinOps Dashboards and the vulnerability scans."
"The AWS cost optimization features have been game-changing - particularly the automated detection of idle EC2 instances and unattached EBS volumes that were silently draining our budget."
"The automated compliance monitoring reduced our manual security audits by 60%, allowing our team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than repetitive checks."
"Xops helped us mitigate the frequent external attacks that we have been trying to curb for a long time now, and more importantly, it helps with an easy-to-understand dashboard where I can monitor the services in use, optimizations, and ultimately the costs."
"Xops has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to save money and proactively detect issues, especially related to cloud spending, while also improving my routine security checks for any misconfigurations."
 

Cons

"Regarding zero-day protection, it takes considerable time to update signatures in the Radware Cloud WAF Service."
"The dashboard of Radware Cloud WAF Service could be more interactive and user-friendly."
"Cloud WAF's management portal lacks many indicators, and the interface could be more user-friendly. It should provide more detailed information on events, possible solutions, and what each event means. While it does give you the event and block part, it doesn't give you a solution. Let's say, for example, someone wants to go into an SQL injection and find a possible solution other than the blocking part, there are no details. It would be good to have possible solutions or the ability to create an automated report to send to the developers in the portal."
"They have a portal for webinar training but because we are in a Spanish-speaking country, it is difficult for us to watch them. Not all of us are fluent in English, but most of the courses and webinars are in English. That part could be improved..."
"For Radware Cloud WAF Service improvements, I suggest more customizable reporting, simpler policy tuning for complex environments, improved dashboard navigation, and broader native integrations with other third-party security tools."
"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."
"The reporting features could be more intuitive with more real-time monitoring, which would help make faster decisions."
"I do not currently have integration with a SIEM, but I have a SIEM integration planned for the next two months as I implement new tools to complete my cybersecurity area."
"While Xops delivers on core functionality, the platform could benefit from more mature AI models for anomaly detection."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"I chose four out of five because I believe more UI enhancements and a cleaner UX navigation could elevate it to a perfect five."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"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."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"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."
