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.

It's not easy to get out once you're in
Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information. When you sign on for the paid service, Sitelock: * Hides (makes it difficult to find) that they default the auto-renew (you can't sign up without agreeing to have them automatically bill your credit card every year). * Hides (makes it difficult to find) how to stop auto-renew: * You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses. * You have to hunt their website for a link (in extremely small font) to the page which contains instructions for cancelling. * When you get to that page, turns out it's the 5000+ word "Terms of Service" document, which you have to scour to find a phone number. Then, you have to call and get put on hold (or if you like, they will call you back three days later). Once you finally get through, you have to jump through a lot of security hoops. All of the above, just to cancel the service. Their product may or may not be OK, but be forewarned that with Sitelock, it's not easy to get out once you're in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Radware Cloud WAF Service offers better protection and can even provide significantly better security."
"The most valuable feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted my organization by providing peace of mind for the team and regulatory compliance, since having the application properly protected meets our banking field requirements."
"It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."
"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."
"I like the reliability of the system since it's quite reliable."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has helped reduce my false positives because it has positive and negative intelligence and the capability to analyze traffic and build patterns."
"Not only did SiteLock's website scanner find the issue with my website, but with SiteLock I was able to implement a security system to prevent future breaches."
"It seems to provide a bit of useful information on website health."
 

Cons

"They can work more on the documentation part. The documentation I found is quite vague."
"I'm not sure about how much historical traffic data we can access. Knowing the ability to view traffic from six months back would be beneficial for audit and compliance purposes, especially if an attack happens on an application."
"We received a notification where Radware Cloud WAF Service stopped working properly in our cloud environment without any prior notification."
"I wish I had normalization because Radware Cloud WAF Service is not normalizing inputs properly and that's causing a lot of problems."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps."
"The integration part of the Radware Cloud WAF Service is complex. Being a security operation engineer or a SOC engineer, managing complex devices can prove challenging."
"API integration and documentation need to be improved."
"They might need to add more integrations."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"The price is a bulk average."
"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."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"The pricing is fair."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
