Currently, we are using our IPS tools and IDS tools, but for the applications, we also use endpoint detection and those kinds of tools. But the firewall is actually a very important tool rather than those products. Because it exactly happens at the layer that we really want it to be and it's very important. So I would say for sponsored application security, it's top tier.

F5 WAF provides much more control and has a lot of features that can be used to protect your applications. You can have granular configuration settings per application and disable attack signatures on very specific scenarios whenever is needed. Also, the logs are very detailed and helpful to analyze the requests.
