Good feature set and is simple to deploy
In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else. We sort of stopped deploying them because of that. There are additional costs to the standard licensing. There are bandwidth prices. The feature set is quite good. We've been told to stop using them because of the price. If they can do something to address that I believe it would be better. On the latest version they've got a community edition, which is quite a good bandwidth, but in essence, it's to address the entry-level price. When you get to 10 gig bandwidth, it's way too expensive.

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.

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 aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"We are achieving six to seven ms latency, so we are very much happy with the performance and the solution uses."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service effectively handles zero-day attacks by rapidly identifying vulnerabilities before they can affect our organization, which enhances our proactive measures through collaboration with various teams, such as the VA team, to address vulnerabilities and apply necessary patches."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is quite effective for blocking unknown threats and attacks, and it has the capability to analyze behavioral patterns, which allows them to implement preventive measures."
"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 has positively impacted our organization by giving us peace of mind with suspicious traffic, fewer web security concerns on public services, and more confidence in the protection of our applications."
"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."
"What I appreciate the most about Radware Cloud WAF Service is the API management."
"The solution offers good protection; it's for the L7, actually, and when you are trying to protect the L7, this is a good product."
 

Cons

"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"Regarding zero-day protection, it takes considerable time to update signatures in the Radware Cloud WAF Service."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"The initial setup was complex and took a long time to complete."
"The log feature in Radware Cloud WAF Service has some limitations."
"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."
"There is one thing that needs to be improved in Radware Cloud WAF Service. When I am onboarding any kind of application and while bypassing those applications, it takes too much time."
"Sometimes we need to bypass the application from Radware Cloud WAF Service to our LB, and that process takes too much time, which I think Radware needs to improve by reducing the time."
"The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"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 pricing is fair."
"The price is a bulk average."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"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."
"We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
