Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)

Well, essentially we're trying to manage URLs that come into our environment and use the WAF to assess them to essentially to inspect them and then basically make decisions about whether to forward them. Obviously we keep a copy of it or whether they get blocked under certain policy scenarios.

Pros

  • It certainly does a good job once we specify and we have it both in line and offline or sideline, but once we define the URL list and continually update that, it does a very good job of capturing and potentially blocking those filter URL.

Cons

  • I would say over time we want to see improvement in its ability to inspect payloads for certain types of data that they cannot do today.
Well, I mean we bought this tool because we wanted one tool that did one thing very well, and so F5 WAF for cloud does that particularly with our cloud-based applications and data.
Yes - I mean we have it. We are using it for a hybrid infrastructure. We have on-premise stuff, we have stuff in Azure, we have stuff in AWS and it works very well for all of those applications.
The other one that I've used in the past, they're very similar and I haven't used it recently, so I can't do a side-by-side comparison today. But I can say that F5 does everything we want it to do consistent with what this other product did do and it's got enhanced features and of course we have a long history with F5 as a product set in general.
