Automated protection has streamlined attack mitigation and now safeguards critical services
I consider the best feature that Radware Cloud WAF Service offers is protection against application layer attacks, layer seven, mainly. That layer seven protection has benefited me significantly by reducing false positives and guaranteeing service availability for us. I have positive impressions of the API Discovery feature, since it allows me to discover APIs. The API Discovery feature has helped me register some APIs that I didn't have, and it has also made it easier for me in my integrations with other services. It has seemed a very useful and easy-to-use functionality given its platform. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to protect against zero-day attacks as very effective, since recently, given the PHP vulnerability, it helped us to mitigate that type of attack until we carried out patching and mitigation. I use the automatic source blocking feature in Radware's cloud application protection solution, and the experience has been very good, as the functionality helps us in the detection and protection of applications. The proactive and holistic approach based on correlation between modules has been effective in protecting my applications since, as the modules are from the same vendor, they allow us more native integration and they operate more efficiently. My opinion of the automated analytics for event review that the platform offers is positive, as sending metrics on a monthly basis in order to optimize our services, and the automated analytics helps us provide that report. I would rate Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks as very good, as it allows us to block unknown threats and attacks thanks to its knowledge base. I consider the combination of negative and positive security models based on behavior important for my organization's security strategy, since attackers are constantly evolving and modifying IOCs, which challenges us to use this kind of behavioral analysis for more efficient detection. I consider that Bot Manager would help in my compliance efforts, since the reports we are requested are quarterly, mainly for regulatory compliance that we have. Regarding Radware Cloud WAF Service's artificial intelligence capabilities, I think its governance and security level seem appropriate. The accuracy and reliability of the results offered by the platform's artificial intelligence convince me, since the AI helps us automate some processes and searches.

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 has positively impacted my organization by making the traffic manageable, and approximately 90% of the traffic is genuine traffic."
"The most valuable features of Radware Cloud WAF Service include its automation and learning capabilities for protection, as well as its superior bot mitigation."
"What I appreciate most about Radware Cloud WAF Service is that it includes all the aspects that an organization wants to run smoothly, such as overall configuration and real-time protection methods, customization of rule creation, fast deployment, and vital visibility in environment maintenance."
"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 great in terms of blocking unknown threats and attacks; everything seems perfect to me, and I have no complaints or issues regarding the blocking capability."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."
"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, I encounter issues with password reset, particularly in the last two weeks. This indicates some reliability issues or problems within the management interface."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"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."
"Radware could improve technical support by resolving cases in fewer days. This would enhance the overall experience with the product."
"The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems."
"Regarding zero-day protection, it takes considerable time to update signatures in the Radware Cloud WAF Service."
"Cloud WAF's management portal lacks many indicators, and the interface could be more user-friendly. It should provide more detailed information on events, possible solutions, and what each event means. While it does give you the event and block part, it doesn't give you a solution. Let's say, for example, someone wants to go into an SQL injection and find a possible solution other than the blocking part, there are no details. It would be good to have possible solutions or the ability to create an automated report to send to the developers in the portal."
"In the starting mode, API Discovery was a little bit challenging for us, but after utilization and after day-to-day uses, we are stable and able to tackle the solution."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"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 pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"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."
"I believe the prices are fair."
"The pricing is fair."
"When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
