"We can host any DB or application on the solution."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is its highly configurable rules system."
"The ability to take multiple data sets and match those data sets together is the solution's most valuable feature. The data lake that comes with it is very useful because that allows us to match data sets with different configurations that we wouldn't normally be able to match."
"Stable and scalable web application firewall. Setting it up is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the geo-restriction denials and the web ACL."

"DDoS protection and WAF are the most valuable features. It is easy to deploy a service. It is easy and quick to deploy to a new website."

"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."

"The cost management has room for improvement."
"I would like to see it more tightly integrated with other AWS services."
"In a future release I would like to see automation. There's no interaction between the applications and that makes it tedious. We have to do the preparation all over again for each of our other applications."
"It's a bit difficult to apply the right rules for the right security."
"For uniformity, AWS has a well-accepted framework. However, it'll be better for us if we could have some more documented guidelines on how the specific business should be structured and the roles that the cloud recommends."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
