ARMANDO CARRETO CASTRO - PeerSpot reviewer
It has an advantage over other solutions because it recognizes automated processes much more quickly
I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. It allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much quicker that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly. Almost all of our clients use the crypto mitigation algorithm. It is much more efficient because it’s very flat and plain when not encrypted. When we implemented it, the algorithm helped reduce the number of attacks on our clients' applications. With this type of solution, the attacker typically gives up after attempting because it doesn't affect the application. It has reduced the number of attempts by 30 to 40 percent.

Allowed us to replace our reverse proxy, load-balancing, and WAF products with one platform
Perhaps the automatic reporting could be better. I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. If it allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much more quickly that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"The support from Radware is excellent."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"The most valuable features were the real-time monitoring and the management. With this kind of product, you need a very good management system to allow you to see false positives in real-time; to see what's happening in real-time... The clarity stood out. It was very visible and very easy to navigate; very easy to find the data we were looking for."
"The main feature is using the rules and being able to see the traffic. It helps us find malicious traffic."
"I very much like the elastic search and reports, allowing us to have a 360-degree view of the customer's activities and enabling us to track down any suspicious bots."
"The feature I find most valuable is the user-friendly dashboard. It is easy to understand how everything works and it allows you to make decisions quickly and efficiently."
"The best thing about Reblaze, for us, is that it has been a game changer because previously, we were using Google's Web Application Firewall, but it wasn't up to the mark."
"Provides mobile app security."
"We like the website protection. It's really good. The dashboard is really simple to use."
"It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease."
 

Cons

"While the interface is simple, they could add the ability to upload lists of IPs in an Excel spreadsheet. If there are two or three IPs, it's easy to add them. You have a graphical option to log in and register your IP, but if you want to upload 50 IPs, it becomes more complicated because there are 50 steps. Also, Radware could simplify the implementation of SDK, which is a bit complicated. Radware should work on making the SDK part more efficient."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."
"There is room for improvement in helping us understanding session management... We want Reblaze to catch and identify everything. We want to see the various devices doing one activity and to see, in a timeline, what's happened. We would like to see a more human-readable display to understand what's happening in the web app."
"We have multiple products behind different instances of Reblaze. We have one instance for staging and then we have a production instance for multiple products. One of the things that we have requested is a unified view panel, so that we can see each of the instances in a unified view. That way, we won't have to go bouncing from instance to instance."
"It would be beneficial if it had a workflow or a feature that could fine-tune settings based on high-level requirements."
"Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing."
"I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."
"The WAF features are not as granular as we would expect from a WAF system. There should be more granularity and in-depth rules, out-of-the-box."
"Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients."
"The next release should have next-generation automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We negotiated a decent price with Radware that fits into our budget. It's a five-year license, so we get a good price and don't need to renew for several years."
"It is fairly priced."
"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."
"I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."
"On a monthly basis we pay $750."
"There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."
"We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."
