We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution protects our application, which runs on the HTTP protocol, from DDoS attacks.""We like that there's load balancing, firewall capabilities, DDoS protection, et cetera, all covered by Cloudflare.""Does a good job preventing web application attacks.""I'm highly satisfied. It's remarkably user-friendly, enabling me to quickly identify issues, and deploy solutions, and it offers the necessary features.""It is configurable via API.""The initial setup process is simple.""Someone with a basic understanding of networking and security will be able to implement the firewall's basic features within 15 minutes.""It protects web applications efficiently."

"From a financial point of view, we no longer need to appropriate more horsepower to our backend web servers constantly to service these requests because Cloud WAF is preventing malicious bots from accessing our web page. It reduced the load on our backend.""The most valuable feature is the monitoring dashboard that we access through the portal.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI.""DDoS protection is a valuable feature that works efficiently.""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 is user-friendly and easy to deploy.""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 feature of Radware Cloud WAF Service is the visibility into attacks that are being cut off instantly."

Cons
"The platform's control features related to real-time authentication and response time need improvement.""I have experienced some difficulties with Cloudflare's support as a customer based in India.""Cloudflare Web Application Firewall should include port forwarding features.""A key challenge arises when dealing with numerous integrations with HVAC systems. Depending on the specifics, there might be some configuration mismatches, which necessitate specific support.""The notification part could be improved. It's very much connected to Web Application Firewall, rate-limiting, and DDoS protection.""The reporting could be more granular.""The accuracy of the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall could be improved by reducing the number of false-negative alerts.""There could be an option to duplicate the cluster to maintain the consistency of rules."

More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall Cons →

"There is a lot more that is expected from Radware's automated analytics for looking at events. There needs to be more context of where protection is required these days.""The integration part could be better.""Radware Cloud WAF Service has limited integrations, and I would like to see it integrate with our use of Azure DevOps.""The connection between the front and back ends could be improved.""They've changed their process for call logging. I suppose it's fine, but I used to be able to send emails in. They could also build up more local resiliency here in South Africa. They're working on that, so it isn't much of an issue now.""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 lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow.""The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing model is very straightforward compared to the competition. You just pay per month for the product and usage."
  • "We pay $210 per month for CloudFlare WAF."
  • "The annual licensing fee is $10,000 USD."
  • "Cloudflare offers different types of subscriptions for businesses, enterprises, and personal users, and the pricing is negotiable."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I believe the pricing is not the best, but it's reasonable and acceptable. We also use the McAfee system in parallel. In terms of pricing, its okay - not great, but not bad either. It falls in the middle, which is acceptable. In terms of support licensing, last time, we were searching for a solution, and we considered products from resellers rather than directly from the cloud provider. However, the pricing we encountered was exceptionally high. As a result, we are inclined to select support from the reseller."
  • "The solution's pricing option needs to be more transparent for enterprise clients."
  • "Cloudflare Web Application Firewall is more affordable than other solutions."
  • More Cloudflare Web Application Firewall Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is fair; it's neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
  • "If you plan to deploy Cloud WAF, keep in mind that the product is priced based on the megabits of traffic that pass through and the number of transactions. You should get your requirements correct up front. The active attackers feed and CDN services cost extra, so you need to negotiate these features upfront."
  • "The pricing is fair. We compared Radware to others using industry reviews and Radware is at the top right now."
  • "I believe the prices are fair."
  • "The price is a bulk average."
  • "We are paying $20,000 annually for six licenses that provide basic WAF functionality."
  • "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."
  • "We are based in El Salvador and don't have a direct license with Radware; we purchase the license through resellers. The pricing is reasonable, as I managed an Akamai product in a previous position, and Cloud WAF is competitively priced."
