What do you like best about AWS WAF?

How easy it is to set up on an already existing environment, especially in the context of AWS EC2, you configure it, and your web application or API Backend is instantly secured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS WAF?

Exclusive to AWS would be one downside, in my opinion. This should have been a universal service, and some cost-effectiveness would have been significant. But overall its a hefty service to deal with internet security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Firewall service"
4/5
What do you like best about AWS WAF?

Few months back, when log4j issue was there, multiple applications and services were down, whereas AWS WAF has already upgraded itself, to avoid any loss. Moreover, it is convenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS WAF?

The AWS console for WAF settings changes is good, but when it comes to IAAC updation, I find it a little challenging.

I think, AWS has to work on this WAF settings change by using Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Now all your files and documents are highly secured!!"
4/5
What do you like best about AWS WAF?

Amazon WAF(Web Application Firewall) offers best security over the applications that are being deployed in specific instances of the client. The client instances in which the Amazon WAF is installed, will act like a Proxy security system, thus securing all the activities from outside parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS WAF?

The thing which I dislike in Amazon WAF is that, it offers security only to the web applications., that too., Those applications which are deployed only on AWS can be protected from third party vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
