Azure Web Application Firewall Reviews

Our primary use case is to protect the service from outside, as well as for our connectivity within the branches.

We already have some of our workloads published outside of Azure, and this allows them to connect to the database.

It is helping us to build a managed service model for our clients.

The most valuable feature is that it allows us to publish our applications behind the firewall.

We are able to synchronize all of our common threads.

Any new security features that are released in the future will help us.

The management can be improved.

We have been using the Azure Web Application Firewall for two years.

Stability-wise, this service is good.

The scalability is very good. We do plan on increasing our usage in the future.

We have brilliant support from Microsoft, and I would rate them as very good.

We were using another solution but it was not cloud-based. We implemented the Azure WAF because more of our workloads are moving to the cloud. Ultimately, we want all of our workloads to be on the cloud.

The initial setup is straightforward, and not complicated at all.

We deployed this solution ourselves.

We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft and the pricing is good.

We did not evaluate other options before implementing Azure WAF.

In summary,l this is a good product, although I would recommend using FortiGate over this solution for a web application firewall.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use cases of this solution are mainly for UPII, DDoS phishing and spam. This is the first VAP solution that I've used. I'm group CIO and we are customers of Azure. 

The solution has good dashboards.

I think deployment should be simplified so that a non-techie can handle it. I also have concerns about the impact of the firewall on performance. I haven't fully experienced the solution yet, but it's an issue with every firewall and something that needs to be evaluated. 

I've only been using this solution for a couple of weeks. 

The solution is stable but having not used it for very long, there might be issues with how it pushes back on performance. We'll have to wait and see. For now, it's stable. 

I haven't had any issues with technical support. 

For now, we have a prime account. We have to see what pricing will be based on what we deploy and how it's done. A regular license fee looks better than AWS just in terms of simplicity.

I evaluated Symantec to see how they use machine learning and the loss created from the logs. 

One should be cautious when comparing it with a third party that's more into AI and machine learning. It's important to study the solution and its governance.

I rate the solution eight out of 10. 

There is a need to be able to configure the solution more.

In the future, I would like to see the ability to activate using a public or private IP.

I have been using the solution for approximately three and a half years.

It has been a stable product in my experience.

The solution is scalable. We have many clients using this solution.

The setup was easy, it took 45 minutes for one administrator.

The price is for this solution is fair and there is a license needed.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Azure Web Application Firewall an eight out of ten.
