Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The product has a very user-friendly dashboard."
"It helps us prevent attacks on servers."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"Built-in security templates, AV integrated, strong threat intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWeb is the reports and the AI-based features."
"The WAF profiles has been effective at mitigating web-based threats."
"It can scale well."
"Banks have to be compliant with PCI and other things, and FortiWeb is absolutely amazing in terms of providing these reports. Otherwise, they will have to spend a lot of time on them."
"Centralized management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM helped us a lot in simplifying and automating the management of network and services."
"The most valuable features of Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection are the services, DHCP, and debugging. Additionally, we can use APIs and ansible scripts."
"I like that Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection is one hundred percent good, performance-wise."
"Infoblox offers granularity and advanced DNS protection to mitigate DNS attacks. It's a very secure solution."
"The solution's user interface is very smooth compared to other products."
"Infoblox Secure DNS helped us protect our internal environment by mitigating and stopping attacks through the Internet using DNS protocols and queries."
"Grid high availability technology ensured network reliability, resilient network services, failover, recovery, and seamless maintenance."
"The solution helps to identify and mitigate DNS attacks."
"Integration and learning about attacks. I would improve these areas by making FortiWeb integrate with other network technologies and feedback from multiple platforms."
"The reporting could be optimized."
"We have had problems with deployments where we've had to contact technical support to resolve them."
"The upgrade process could be a bit smoother."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle different use cases."
"The interface could have the interdependent elements arranged sequentially and wizards that go through most common deployment actions."
"We use Kubernetes, so I would like to have a plugin to configure FortiWeb Cloud automatically using Kubernetes Ingress. That would reduce the complexity of setting up an Ingress object in Kubernetes. Some competing solutions help you configure Ingress and Kubernetes automatically."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration with solutions other than the Fortinet family."
"There needs to be more capabilities in order to configure the console itself instead of the user interface dashboard. Configuring the DNS or DHCP through the console instead of the GUI dashboard would be better."
"The solution's logging could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"The service monitoring information could be simplified of this appliance and the information displayed on the dashboards could be improved. I have not found one dashboard to be perfect. For example, in Splunk, I can create a dashboard in Grafana. However, in Grafana, it takes a very long time to create them. There should be another API to do it better."
"There should be better alerts for when attacks are happening."
"They are not supporting high query logging. They have a very limited size for the syslog, so they are usually asking for external storage, external network, and integration in order to keep the syslog. If you are considering the high volume traffic of the carrier-grade, then the syslog will hold for around five to 10 minutes. This is not enough time and it is being rotated. This is the main issue and the main limitation that we face with them that they need to work on."
"There is a steep learning curve to be able to use Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection well."
"Infoblox Advanced DNS Protection could be more user-friendly because you need knowledge if you want to use it. To handle the solution, you need to be a subject matter expert, so this is one area for improvement."
