Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."This is not a product that you need to install. You just use it."
"The simple configuration and the scalability have been most valuable. We are able to scale across all of our different AWS instances."
"The most valuable features of AWS WAF are its cloud-native and on-demand."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is the extra layer of security that I have when connecting to my web applications."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to limit access based on geographical location by restricting specific IP addresses."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to integrate central sets. It protects from intrusion attacks such as scripting and SQL injections."
"AWS WAF is a stable solution. The performance of the solution is very good."
"The customizable features are good."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."
"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The report function is the solution's greatest asset."
"The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure."
"One area that could be improved is the DDoS protection."
"It's a bit difficult to apply the right rules for the right security."
"We haven't faced any problems with the solution."
"For now, there is no feature to protect against attack of the bad bots"
"AWS WAF would be better if it uses AI or machine learning to detect a potential attack or a potential IP that creates an attack even before it happens. I want AWS WAF to capture the IP and automatically write the rule to automate the entire process."
"The default content policy available in the tool is not very strong compared to the competitors."
"We should be able to do proper whitelisting."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools."
"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."
