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."
"The interface is quite concise and clear, and it is easy to navigate."
"Cloud WAF's interface is easy to use and protects us from OWASP Top Ten threats. Our dev team do QA checks on applications before they go live, but Cloud WAF creates an additional security layer on our website."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has improved our efficiency by about 95%."
"We feel safe using Radware, and we are happy with it."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is really good for protecting against zero-day attacks as it protects our organization and businesses effectively."
"The features I find best about Radware Cloud WAF Service are its user-friendly GUI and the smooth deployment or onboarding process, and the dashboard allows me to see trends weekly, monthly, and daily for this particular application, enabling me to take action if I want to allow or block specific IPs or traffic."
"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."
"It has significantly reduced attacks on our applications."
 

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."
"I would like to see an improvement in the twenty-four-seven support service."
"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."
"To make the solution a ten out of ten, we need improvements in AI capabilities, which Radware Cloud WAF Service currently has yet it still has room for integration."
"The dashboard of Radware Cloud WAF Service has room for improvement. While it works effectively, it can feel complex and might need some initial guidance, but once users become familiar with it, the operation becomes smooth."
"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."
"Radware needs to improve the certificate renewal process for customers who want to be secured with HTTPS."
"Whenever we handle an incident, we have to generate many reports. We have to get data, information, and screenshots on multiple things. A future feature in Radware Cloud WAF Service that could give us a presentable report for our stakeholders would be a really great addition."
"Sometimes, I encounter issues with password reset."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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