AR Allan R. Managed IT Services Senior Associate Level 2 Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/22/2026 "Allan's super cool review." 4.5/5 What do you like best about FortiWeb? Based on my experience and into FortiWeb documentation, is their Dual-layer Machine Learning for High-Accuracy detection as well the Automatic API Discovery & Advanced API Protection, this is great because it Protects mobile app backends, integrations, and cloud apps and automatically adjusts as new API endpoints appear. And last but not least, their Advanced Bot Mitigation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiWeb? FortiWeb is terrific in overall, but the high availability and scalability features are limited and often require costly hardware upgrades, this makes growth more difficult than expected. Their support response time can be slow and integration with third-party technologies can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiWeb solving and how is that benefiting you? Fortiweb has helped me to solve several key application-security challenges by protecting some of our client web applications and APIs from common threats such as SQL injection, as mentioned before its dual-layer machine learning engine improves accuracy in detecting malicious traffic while reducing false positives, this saves operational time since the amount of tickets sent due to the alert has reduced.

Primary Value and User Solutions: Azure Application Gateway provides a scalable and highly available solution for managing web application traffic. By operating at the application layer, it offers intelligent routing capabilities that enhance application performance and reliability. The integrated Web Application Firewall ensures robust security against common web threats, while features like SSL/TLS termination and autoscaling optimize resource utilization and reduce operational overhead. This comprehensive set of features addresses the needs of organizations seeking to build secure, scalable, and efficient web front ends in Azure. ](https://www.g2.com/products/azure-application-gateway/reviews "Azure Application Gateway")[ 5 ![Radware Cloud WAF Logo](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/hd_favicon/39cfb7b6e994cced12ee67d828e0bebf/radware-cloud-waf.svg "Radware Cloud WAF Logo") Radware Cloud WAF 4.6 (139) Radware’s Cloud WAF provides enterprise-grade, continuously adaptive web application security protection.
