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

Doing internal testing of the product. I do see the potential of using the distributed cloud to handle our WAF for small companies. Overall, we are using OWASP features to reduce companies costs in the short term such as development cost to protect the app. Also, to ensure it complains with security standards based on the client requirements. Another use case for us is to provide a monitoring tool for the company to track and audit behaviors.

Pros

  • Monitoring
  • Easy to configure
  • Secure

Cons

  • Limited options
  • Detailed use cases
  • Cost reduction
  • Production readiness
Well, it's possible to leave most of the infrastructure on the other side reducing costs on the hardware resources for the company and personal that can set up the resources.

Do you think F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Yes

Did F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) again?

Yes

A growing company that needs to set up their security better, a big company with legacy software difficult to adhere to standards and also to start ups which normally neglect there security in order to achieve business requirements leaving some technical debt on the security. Might not be well suited for companies that have a solution in place as they don't have something to win that they don't have already. The focus could be what they could lose.
