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's Web DDoS protection, HTTP L7, has significantly helped us protect our customer networks, mitigating all types of web attacks and ensuring no fluctuations or leaks even when large numbers of malicious bot IPs are attacking our network."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is really good for protecting against zero-day attacks as it protects our organization and businesses effectively."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has enabled me to save time by viewing and monitoring the traffic that my applications receive, since it isolates the attacks or threats that my web applications face."
"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."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service positively impacts my organization as it saves us headaches when we have attacks since it blocks them, and I have noticed a specific change in security, a reduction of incidents, and improvements in response times since I started using the tool, as problems have decreased with fewer attacks."
"Since using Radware Cloud WAF Service, there are reductions in attacks."
"Our environment is safe due in part to behavior and anomaly detection, which provides IP-based, subnet-based, and country-based blocking."
"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

"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."
"API integration and documentation need to be improved."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service can be improved in security features, as they can mitigate DDoS attacks and security threats."
"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 initial setup was complex and took a long time to complete."
"We receive many reports from our security team of IPs flagged by our security tools, such as Palo Alto. I cannot add the file containing the IPs to get them blocked; instead, I have to contact Radware support and open a ticket for them to do it. I need to be able to block flagged IPs myself, as it currently takes more time to open a ticket, contact the support team, and wait four to six hours for a response. I want to be able to upload a file with 2,000-3,000 IPs in the console and then apply and save the configuration."
"It would be ideal if Radware could offer a bundled package that includes Cloud WAF, web DDoS protection, bot manager, and Alteon for a more comprehensive security solution."
"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."
"The price is a bulk average."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"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."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"For the current market, the price for Radware Cloud WAF Service is exactly where we want it to be."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
