F5 Advanced WAF vs Indusface AppTrana comparison

"My favorite feature of F5 is the ability to play around with the ciphers. I also like the ability to have an immediate display of the support IDs when a real blockage occurs. The protection offered is great."

"I like all of the features, but the main one is the attack signatures."

"It's a fairly easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. My administrators and team also like its ability to customize the rules per the requirements."

"Good technology for mitigating different application attacks, e.g. DDoS, DNS, and layer seven attacks."

"I like the security features, especially against SQL injection."

"F5 Advanced WAF is a comprehensive community platform with a strong commitment, making it valuable for businesses."

"It ensures compliance with security standards by providing features like PCI DSS checks."

"F5 Advanced WAF secures our connectivity and combines both the main functions of WAF (balancing and web application security)."

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."

"Scalability could be improved."

"While F5 Advanced WAF does limit the number of partners in certain regions to ensure successful business transactions, they could also benefit from expanding their partnerships and making it easier for more people to learn about and become experts in F5 Advanced WAF. By doing so, they could increase the reach and exposure of their solution, similar to how Cisco has become widely recognized in the security industry."

"For me, an area for improvement in F5 Advanced WAF is the reporting as it isn't so clear. The vendor needs to work on the reporting capability of the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of F5 Advanced WAF is threat intelligence to protect your web application, particularly having that capability out-of-the-box, and not needing to pay extra for it, similar to what's offered in FortiWeb, for example, any request that originates from a malicious IP will be blocked automatically by FortiWeb. F5 Advanced WAF should have the intelligence for blocking malicious IPs, or automatically blocking threats included in the license, instead of making it an add-on feature that users have to pay for apart from the standard licensing fees."

"The solution's dashboard could be improved. When you're moving from policy to policy, the logs and the integration of the logs in other systems aren't straightforward."

"F5 Advanced needs to improve its bot protection. The solution needs to have machine learning to learn the behavior of the customer to recognize the human versus the bot. This is a difficult feature to explain to our customers. I would like documentation about the bot feature to make it easier for the customer to understand."

"The reporting portion of F5 Advance WAF is not great. They need to work out something better, as it is very basic. You only see the top IPs, I think there is more they can offer."

"The interface is old-looking, it's not modern, which is why it's not always comfortable to use."

"F5 Advanced WAF sells perpetual licenses as perpetual assets during sales without informing me that support ends after a few years."

"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."

"There are various plans available for Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF as a Service, including a trial version."

"The way we deployed it, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten"

"Its price is fair. We have done a couple of deals where they were able to give some kind of discount to the customers. The price was initially high for the customers, but after a couple of negotiations, it came within their budget. They were happy with that."

"F5 Advanced WAF technical support comes at a cost, and it's expensive."

"After buying the program, you just pay for the support every year."

"Pricing for this solution is higher than average."

"I am not sure about pricing but licenses are available on Google."

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
