Overall Satisfaction with AWS WAF
AWS WAF is a really useful software when implemented at the departmental level. It allows the infrastructure of the applications that are being executed to be protected in a very simple way since the user can establish rules to stop the vulnerabilities that can cause a malfunction in such applications. This is why we have decided to implement it in the business applications development department to dismiss these vulnerabilities and thus be able to concentrate on the development of applications without that concern.
- It allows custom rules to be established to stop attacks that may harm business applications.
- Its cost is based only on what the user uses to establish rules that can protect applications from vulnerabilities.
- The rules can be established by the user or those that the system already brings with it being able to be centralized to reuse them for the rest of the applications, which saves time.
- The user can choose the traffic of their applications.
- The cost depends on the number of rules assigned.
- It deploys new rules fast and efficiently.
- The documentation offered is somewhat confusing, so it would be ideal if it were much more direct and precise.
- Your initial configuration may be confusing, so the best option is to use the rule templates provided by AWS.
- Its configuration is not unified with AWS, so it must be done separately and it takes some time.
- The number of rules to be established is somewhat limited.
- Implementing this AWS service has been really favorable because when creating custom rules we give more specific protection to our applications against vulnerabilities that cause them to be consuming other resources or running with errors.
- It allows us to control the traffic of our business applications, which is really favorable, given that in this way we can decide that you can access them and not.
- It is extremely advantageous that we can establish rules in a centralized way since it saves time, as well as it allows us to protect several applications at the same time by reusing the rules established above.
- It allows you to save time and money because we only pay for what is used.
Unlike these other AWS tools, WAF provides real-time traffic control, rules that can be customized according to the needs of the user, and is based on an implementation in the cloud which avoids the use of memory on computers as well as an account with a very affordable cost for any user or company.
