Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF allows us the ability to rapidly respond to threats and gain visibility into our blocked traffic. Sometimes that blocked traffic is valid and requires WAF tuning but the ease and use of the Distributed Cloud platform allows us an easy path for identification of those events and remediation of the events.
Pros
- threat detection
- threat blocking
- one click remediation
Cons
- WAF graphical UX navigation can be a pain, allow granular definition through graphed events
- improved security posture
- compliance adherence
moving our security stack to the edge decreased tool sprawl
Yes - single pane of glass security administration means I can make one policy change instead of managing each environment independently saving us time
- A10 Thunder Convergent Firewall (CFW)
F5 DC WAF fit into our ecosystem better as we were already an F5 shop
