Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."AWS WAF helps mitigate different kinds of bot attacks and SQL injection that happen within the retail industry."
"The most valuable feature of AWS WAF is its highly configurable rules system."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about ten minutes or less."
"We preferred the product based on its cost. AWS WAF is an out-of-the-box solution and integrates with the AWS services that we use. It's natively integrated with AWS."
"It is a one-click WAF with no effort needed."
"Its best feature is that it is on the cloud and does not require local hardware resources."
"This product supplies options for web security for applications accessing sensitive information."
"This is not a product that you need to install. You just use it."
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
"We don't have much control over blocking, because the WAF is managed by AWS."
"It is sometimes a lot of work going through the rules and making sure you have everything covered for a use case. It is just the way rules are set and maintained in this solution. Some UI changes will probably be helpful. It is not easy to find the documentation of new features. Documentation not being updated is a common problem with all services, including this one. You have different versions of the console, and the options shown in the documentation are not there. For a new feature, there is probably an announcement about being released, but when it comes out, there is no actual documentation about how to use it. This makes you either go to technical support or community, which probably doesn't have an idea either. The documentation on the cloud should be the latest one. Finding information about a specific event can be a bit challenging. For this solution, not much documentation is available in the community. It could be because it is a new tool. Whenever there is an issue, it is just not that simple to resolve, especially if you don't have premium support. You have pretty much nowhere to look around, and you just need to poke around to try and make it work right."
"They should make the implementation process faster."
"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 user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on."
"One area for improvement in AWS WAF could be the limitation on the number of rules, particularly those from third-party sources, within the free tier."
"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."
"We should be able to do proper whitelisting."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
