Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"As a basic WAF, it's better than nothing. So if you need something simple out of the box with default features, AWS WAF is good."
"We integrate AWS WAF with several platforms within cloud hosting and other security solutions and provisions in our business. Regarding AI, it's been around for about 20 years, so it's not new. It's just a new buzzword. I've been in security for 30 years and remember using AI when I started 25-30 years ago. We have multiple forms of AI within our business."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"AWS WAF is something that someone from a cloud background or cloud security background leverages. If they want to natively use a solution in the cloud, AWS WAF comes in handy. It's very useful for that, and the way we can fine-tune the WAF rules is also nice."
"AWS WAF is very easy to use and configure on AWS."
"The customizable features are good."
"We get alerts if we have some malware."
"The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."
"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail."
 

Cons

"The setup is complicated."
"When users choose the free service, there isn't great support available to them."
"The price could be improved."
"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 solution's pricing could be improved."
"Technical support for AWS WAF needs improvement."
"They should make the implementation process faster."
"The default content policy available in the tool is not very strong compared to the competitors."
"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."
"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."
"The portal is a little slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is moderately priced."
"It has a variable pricing scheme."
"The pricing is good and manageable."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"AWS WAF has reasonable pricing."
"The price of AWS WAF is reasonable, it is not expensive and it is not cheap."
"The solution's cost depends on the use cases."
"The pricing should be more affordable, especially as it pertains to small clients."
"Comodo cWatch’s first level, which has fewer features, costs $7."
