We performed a comparison between Cloudflare Web Application Firewall and Radware Cloud WAF Service 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.
"It protects web applications efficiently."
"It is configurable via API."
"Someone with a basic understanding of networking and security will be able to implement the firewall's basic features within 15 minutes."
"Does a good job preventing web application attacks."
"Technical support has a very fast response time and they are helpful."
"The security features are valuable. The particular feature we use is called OWASP."
"Caching is the most valuable feature of Cloudflare Web Application Firewall."
"The Cloudflare Web Application Firewall's most valuable feature is its ease of configuration."
"From a financial point of view, we no longer need to appropriate more horsepower to our backend web servers constantly to service these requests because Cloud WAF is preventing malicious bots from accessing our web page. It reduced the load on our backend."
"It provides the first level of defense against external threats trying to come into the environment, but it's one of the many toolkits we use."
"The API Discovery is also very good because the application is outsourced, which means that we don't have the code. API Discovery allowed me to discover precisely how to orchestrate the API so that I could see the results."
"Geo-blocking is one of the most valuable features we use the most; most of our users are in North, Central, and South America, so we use geo-blocking to block access from other countries."
"One of the most valuable features we have found in the solution is protection against attacks from botnet networks and the requests that these remote networks can generate that are blocked from our servers. That frees us from having to deal with that traffic."
"The solution requires very little maintenance; we install it, it works without any problems, is reliable, and we can almost forget about it."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"The accuracy of the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall could be improved by reducing the number of false-negative alerts."
"The notification part could be improved. It's very much connected to Web Application Firewall, rate-limiting, and DDoS protection."
"The platform's control features related to real-time authentication and response time need improvement."
"Their documentation could be better. They don't have documentation that explains everything well. They have documentation for everything you're looking for, but they lack a single piece of documentation to tie everything together. As a new user or beginner, it took us a little bit of time to figure out how to put all these things in place."
"They have some limitations with third-party integrations."
"A key challenge arises when dealing with numerous integrations with HVAC systems. Depending on the specifics, there might be some configuration mismatches, which necessitate specific support."
"Cloudflare Web Application Firewall should include port forwarding features."
"The blocked logs are difficult to read at times."
"The integration part could be better."
"The primary area for improvement is in issue detection and understanding whether a log is a false positive. It can sometimes be a challenge to take the data of a given security event and determine if it's a genuine threat using a Wiki etc."
"Radware does not have much online training available to help customers get the most out of this solution."
"If we want to publish services to a limited number of providers and we only want those providers to connect, we need to forward those requests to the Radware support team and they apply them, but it takes some time."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
"The lower-level technical team at Radware could improve their approach to problem-solving as they sometimes are very slow."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems."
