Ensures a robust and unified security approach for our clients
My clients often seek a comprehensive security solution for their hybrid environments, with both cloud and on-premise web applications. To address this, I recommend combining F5 Advanced WAF for web application security with Fortinet solutions, including FortiGate, FortiSign, and FortiAnalyzer, for…

Very secure with an easy initial setup and pretty stable
We get a benefit from securing the data and also monitoring changes such as what is going on within the database. If something or somebody is changing items or hacking or something of that nature, we have visibility on the event. Therefore, we primarily use the solution for security purposes…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can monitor IP locations, but we have constraints from each country. It has a replication feature. Licenses can be shared, taking turns with each license."
"The support experience is better than average."
"The product has valuable features for load balancing, monitoring tools, and HPXpress services."
"I like them because I like the security solution. They get extra marks compared to other solutions or competitors. There are more features than any other product I can think of. They're always monitoring, and the security features offer more than other, lesser products."
"This solution inspects your traffic and based on that, automatically create distinct qualities for you, so you can add this to the policy already created. That's what I like most."
"It is easy to obtain dashboard compliance because security policy views are included."
"I like the security features, especially against SQL injection."
"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are the balancer and you can change policies very easily."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"The interface is old-looking, it's not modern, which is why it's not always comfortable to use."
"More legacy protocols should be added to the solution."
"The solution could improve by having an independent capture module. It has a built feature that you can deploy the capture on your published website. However, it's not very user-friendly. When you compare this feature to Google Capture or other enterprise captures, they are very simple. It needs a good connection to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. When you implement this feature in the data center, you may suffer some complications with connecting to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. This should be improved in the future."
"This solution can be made more user-friendly."
"They could provide better pricing."
"The solution should include protection against web page attacks like what is available in FortiWeb."
"There is a gap in report management."
"The solution's dashboard could be improved. When you're moving from policy to policy, the logs and the integration of the logs in other systems aren't straightforward."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of F5 Advanced WAF could improve it is expensive."
"It is a little bit costly, but it has all the features that are required."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution."
"The way we deployed it, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"The solution is very expensive so should only be used in the right environment."
"I don't have any issue with the pricing of this solution."
"As far as the pricing of F5 Advanced WAF I would rate it a four out of five depending on what features I am looking for. Imperva is more expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable when compared with other products, such as FortiWeb. I am very satisfied with the price."
