We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One common use case is using detection protection for enhancing security models in AWS. Another use case is implementing log analysis and response recovery procedures for email services."
"The product’s availability, ease of configuration, and documentation are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the way it blocks threats to external applications."
"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."
"AWS has flexibility in terms of WAF rules."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is the extra layer of security that I have when connecting to my web applications."
"AWS WAF is very easy to use and configure on AWS."
"Their technical support has been quite good."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"AWS WAF should provide better protection to its users, and the security features need to improve."
"It's a bit difficult to apply the right rules for the right security."
"The setup is complicated."
"This solution could be improved if the configuration steps were more specific to WAF, compared to other cloud services."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"On the UI side, I would like it if they could bring back the geolocation view on the corner."
"While the complexity of the installation can vary from one service to another, overall, I would say that it and the configuration and navigation are somewhat complex."
"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."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"Performance could be improved."
"The solution could be more robust."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
