I like Radware Cloud WAF for its real-time visibility, which provides instant insights into attacks and traffic, making it easier to respond. I appreciate the strong support and the robust bot protection, which distinguishes between malicious and known bots.

"Effective and Practical Protection, although Support Could Be Improved"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Radware Cloud WAF?

I like that Radware Cloud WAF is a cloud platform that is easy to work with and implement. Additionally, I consider the cost-benefit ratio to be very good. The configuration was practical, as having our policies from another tool allowed us to quickly replicate and migrate the portals, which saved us time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Radware Cloud WAF?

Some rules, such as in handling bot attacks, require raising cases with the manufacturer, and the response time can be delayed. This can negatively impact the business, as it does not allow for such long waiting times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adaptive ML Protection with 24/7 SOC Support in One Cloud Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Radware Cloud WAF?

From a customer perspective, the behavioral-based detection and machine learning capabilities make a clear, noticeable difference. The platform adapts to our application traffic patterns, which has significantly reduced false positives compared with the more static, rule-heavy WAF solutions we’ve used in the past. As a result, we spend less time tuning policies and more time focusing on strategic security initiatives.

Another major advantage is the fully managed service model. The 24/7 SOC support and proactive monitoring give us confidence that threats are being addressed in real time, even outside of business hours. That level of responsiveness is critical for protecting customer-facing applications.

We also appreciate the integrated approach. Having WAF, API protection, bot mitigation, and L7 DDoS protection consolidated into a single cloud platform simplifies our architecture and vendor management. It has improved visibility and reduced complexity across our security stack.

Overall, Radware Cloud WAF delivers effective protection with strong operational efficiency, which is exactly what we were looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Radware Cloud WAF?

One challenge is the platform’s learning curve and overall complexity. Configuring fine-tuned policies and fully understanding the feature set takes time and expertise. For teams without dedicated WAF specialists, getting the most out of advanced controls (such as customized behavioral policies or bot-mitigation tuning) can be resource-intensive.

Another concern is visibility and the reporting experience. While Radware provides robust telemetry, some users find the dashboards and analytics less intuitive and harder to tailor to business-specific reporting needs than competing tools with more user-friendly UIs. As a result, incident analysis and executive reporting can take longer than expected.

A third point is alert volume and the tuning overhead early in deployment. Even though machine learning can reduce false positives over time, the initial tuning phase may generate a high number of alerts that still require manual review, which can be burdensome for lean teams.

Finally, because this is a managed cloud service, there is less direct control over the underlying infrastructure and rule engines than with self-hosted or appliance-based options. For customers who want tight control over every aspect of policy deployment and performance optimization, this service model may feel somewhat restrictive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
