EVP, Chief Digital officer and head of Cybersecurity at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
Serves as a comprehensive solution for both our current and prospective customers, generating revenue for us
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."
What is our primary use case?
We are a data center company that hosts a variety of applications for our customers. We use these applications for two purposes: internal protection and external customer protection. Currently, all of our internal applications are hosted on the cloud and are safeguarded by the Cloud WAF service. Our customers also use the Cloud WAF service to protect their applications from external threats.
We aim to provide our customers with 99.99 percent infrastructure availability and 99.95 percent service uptime. When we guarantee availability and security, we must ensure we have the strongest security measures in your environment. That is the highest priority for the company.
We've deployed Radware for various applications in our environment. We have also successfully used it in heterogeneous customer environments without any issues. We have some internet-facing applications like SAP and Oracle. Our company has custom Java-based and .NET-based applications. The clients' ERP environments may also be vulnerable because they are the company's heart. We deploy and host many ERP environments and protect them against external attacks.
How has it helped my organization?
Radware Cloud WAF Service's ability to block unknown threats and attacks is useful. Radware Cloud WAF Service's best feature is its ability to protect against and log a wide range of unknown threats as part of its offerings.
I can confidently say that Radware Cloud WAF Service serves as a comprehensive solution for both our current and prospective customers, generating revenue for us. This service guarantees high uptime and availability of all our business applications while reducing overall operational complexity.
Automated event analytics are effective. We have automated event monitoring, which provides us with excellent analytical dashboards that help us identify any issues. These dashboards report, track, monitor, and ultimately resolve the issues. Therefore, the mitigation process is highly effective when utilizing these analytical dashboards.
We implemented API protection as a security measure, which includes an API discovery feature. This feature helps protect APIs from attacks, making it a valuable aspect of Radware Cloud WAF Service.
The API discovery feature provides outstanding end-to-end API protection. APIs play a crucial role in applications, often requiring extensive investigation. Having automated discovery and protection against external threats makes this feature even more exceptional.
API discovery is a user-friendly feature that comes with an automated algorithm. The algorithm detects APIs and generates tailored security policies to identify and log any real-time API FOCA attacks. This makes it an outstanding feature. Additionally, Radware repair protection can access the automated algorithm to discover APIs and create personalized security policies that can detect and prevent API worker attacks in real-time.
The API discovery aided in the reduction of our overhead costs by around 20 percent. The APIs are protected in real-time, which enabled us to decrease operational complexity and costs significantly.
We provide data center services and offer both public and private cloud options to our customers. Our Radware Cloud WAF Service provides comprehensive protection against bots and APIs, safeguarding all the Internet-facing applications hosted on our platform. As a result of implementing this service, our organization has greatly benefited.
The Radware Cloud WAF Service has been instrumental in reducing our false positives by nearly 25 percent. This is due to its comprehensive API protection and bot offerings, which have reduced operational complexity.
The cost of managing the overall solution decreased because we now require fewer personnel. With the tool's significant automation and numerous analytic dashboards, customers now feel more comfortable and have greater peace of mind than before.
I would rate the integration of Radware Cloud WAF Service a nine out of ten. This solution has user-friendly integration algorithms and features that make it easy to integrate with other applications. Once we become familiar with the product, the interfaces are straightforward to use. The software has an API, which enables different applications to communicate with each other, making it the best part of the solution. Therefore, API protection is included in the software, allowing applications to interact with each other seamlessly. Consequently, customers can feel more confident when using Radware Cloud WAF Service.
Radware Cloud WAF Service reduced the effort of our IT team, therefore, freeing up their time for other projects.
Radware Cloud WAF Service helped reduce our TCO because we can now offer this service to our customers. This has resulted in generating additional revenue, contributing to the overall cost savings.
After three months of implementing the Radware Cloud WAF Service and selecting the product, we began to see time to value.
What is most valuable?
We have recently upgraded our cloud WAF to Radware Cloud WAF Service to include WAF and ADA protection, as well as watch management and Layer 7. 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. The most valuable aspect of our service is its ability to safeguard applications from external threats, including the API. This sets the solution apart from other web operators in the market.
What needs improvement?
The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they are sometimes very slow. While the higher management is highly active and supportive, the lower management and staff may take longer to provide support, leading to delays. Proactively improving their response time could enhance their overall performance. Otherwise, customers may need to escalate issues to the higher-ups, which could be avoided.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Radware Cloud WAF Service for over three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Radware Cloud WAF Service is stable. We have not had any performance issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I give Radware Cloud WAF Service a nine out of ten for scalability.
Radware Cloud WAF is a cloud-based solution, so it's scalable. We have a 5GB contract and can always increase. If it had been on-premises, Radware would be a less-scalable solution. We can easily add capacity if needed.
How are customer service and support?
We have Radware's ERT premium support which is great.
We signed the highest-level SLA with Radware called ERT Premium Services, which guarantees a five-minute response from Radware 24/7. Radware India also provides support. We call management if we have an issue, and they take care of it. Radware also has an excellent knowledge base and community forums.
A few months ago, we had an attack at night and needed immediate support. I called the director of Radware India, and he immediately lined up the entire support team within a few minutes. They resolved the issue as soon as the ticket entered their system. In five minutes, we got support from the most senior employee of Radware India. When we were implementing the Radware DDoS, the management maintained communication with us and helped us get started fast.
It was the same with the Radware load balancer. We subscribed to the new load balancers, which we needed to provide additional capacity for our company over the next five years, and management was there to guide us in the right direction.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Compared to previous solutions, Radware Cloud WAF Service is a reliable product, especially when combined with senior management support. If we obtain both, such as contacting the senior manager, the Managing Director of Redwood in India, we can expect a response in a matter of minutes. This is the service's greatest advantage.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward because we had the help of the Radware specialists. The implementation strategy involved conducting a brief proof of concept for a few applications within the entire solution. Once the POC was successful, we proceeded to deploy it in the test environment. After testing, we moved it to production within three months.
Our L1, L2, and L3 support, with the assistance of Radware, completed the deployment in five weeks on the back end.
Radware Cloud WAF Service is deployed in the cloud for internal applications hosted on Yotta, as well as for customers who chose to use this service.
The entire deployment took around six weeks, from the planning stage to the final rollout. We deployed the architecture, created the MSSP, configured the links, and created the domain names. We developed the implementation strategy with Radware and its partner. We first deployed the solution for approximately 20 or so internal applications. In phase two, we opened the solution up to customers.
After deployment, Radware WAF doesn't require much maintenance aside from updates and periodic maintenance windows on the vendor side.
What about the implementation team?
Radware's partner helped with the implementation.
What was our ROI?
We experienced a positive return on investment of up to 50 percent, due to our ability to reduce false positives. This led to a significant decrease in the effort required to manage the solution and a reduction in the overall cost of ownership. Additionally, the solution generated revenue from customers as we can now identify and address external threats to their environment. As a result, we also receive renewals. This is the most significant benefit of the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
When compared to Akamai and F5, Radware's pricing and licensing are highly competitive. In fact, Radware offers the best price along with excellent licensing pricing. Moreover, we received ERP premium support as a part of the package, which would otherwise be a service that incurs a high cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We conducted an evaluation of F5 Advanced WAF and Akamai Web Application Protector, both of which performed well. However, the standout feature was Radware's five-minute SLA on their premium ERT support. This evaluation considers three factors: the product, the SLA, and the management support. Radware offers the highest level of ERP payment support with a response time of five minutes. Additionally, if any issues arise, we have the option to escalate to Radware's senior management, and we can expect a response from Radware's MD within a few minutes. When considering the product, SLA, and management support as a whole, we believe that Radware Cloud WAF Service is the best option.
What other advice do I have?
I give Radware Cloud WAF Service a nine out of ten.
As of now, we have not had to maintain the solution.
I recommend Radware Cloud WAF Service for any organization which wants to be free from external threats.
A year ago, people were only talking about the WAF application firewall. Today, we refer to WAAP, which provides increased protection against threats and vulnerabilities. Radware came out with this innovative offering called WAAP, including, WAF, API and bot protection, and DDoS. This is an innovative solution. If you want peace of mind, Cloud WAF is a one-stop shop for your security needs. Radware WAAP is a comprehensive security solution.
