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

"I like the reliability of the system since it's quite reliable."
"I highly recommend this product to others because I'm satisfied with the mitigation and proactive protection."
"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."
"What makes this a comprehensive offering from Radware is that it combines WAF, ADA, bot management, and API protection, which is not currently available from any other provider in the market."
"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."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has positively impacted our organization because we feel safer, we feel that we have controlled access by unauthorized third parties, and we feel that our applications that face the internet, that are published, are more secure and that we can take preventive actions before any type of event occurs."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service remains a great solution that shines in high-security, high-throughput environments where behavioral detection and hybrid multi-cloud deployment flexibility are top priorities."
"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

"Regarding aspects that Radware Cloud WAF Service could improve, I would suggest that at the start, on the home interface, having dashboards that help us summarize and extract metrics would be beneficial."
"I would rate the customer support of Radware Cloud WAF Service as very improvable since they provide only pre-packaged answers."
"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."
"The only improvement I have directly for Radware is its costs, because they are very high."
"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."
"The main area for improvement is the flexibility of the security rule engine."
"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."
"In some cases, if the configuration of rules is too strict or complex, there might be a possibility that genuine traffic gets blocked or considered a false positive."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the prices are fair."
"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."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service falls within a mid-range price bracket compared to other web application firewall solutions."
"The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
"The price is a bulk average."
"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."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
