## Wallarm API Security Platform Reviews
  ### 1. Wallarm: well worth partnering with

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

What I like best about Wallarm is the client care, and commitment to client satisfaction.  High integrity company with a customer focus and desire to enhance their product to meet feature requests.  Like most cloud based products, there is a shared responsibility between client and vendor to make it work optimally.  I can attest in my experience that Wallarm will meet you where you are, so long as you do your part too. Tim Ebbers and team will work hard to help you glean the most value from your investment.

**What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

The containerized architecture may not be conducive to every environment/organization.

**What problems is Wallarm API Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Defending against web-based attacks, OWASP Top 10 and the like...

  ### 2. Wallarm review after <6M usage

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jaume B. | IT Security Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

Can work in parallel with your infrasctucture/services and if Wallarm endpoint for some reason falls down (never happened to the extent of my knowledge), your infrastructure/services keeps working (without the WAF protection of course) because it is not like a proxy but a modified web server with an extension to analyze the traffic and block it when rules match.

**What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

Rule creation feature is a bit confusing for newbies. Must carefully read the documentation to understand the syntax.

**What problems is Wallarm API Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Implementation of WAF is rather simple compared to other Opensource solutions and there are already some pre-build example/rules that are useful.

  ### 3. Good for business without extra requirements to WAF

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2021

**What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

- Easy to use.
- Pretty wide range of configurations that could be applied for specific endpoints.
- Life chat with Wallarm support.
- Custom blocking page that you could create and use.
- Attack re-check feature that helps to identify vulnerabilities.
- IP blacklisting could be applied manually or could be triggered if the specific condition met (but the range of conditions is pretty low).

**What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?**

- Documentation is not complete/clear when you need to do something extra.
- It is unclear how does it work (i.e. how you should use rules to achieve good enough performance and the goal you'd like to achieve).
- Even a low number of rules may dramatically slow down the rules build and any rule change may take up to several hours to be delivered.
- Pricing model is based on the number of requests. So, it will cost a lot for services like chats or with a lot of collaboration but will be a good fit for services like shops.
- Lack of functionality (i.e. notifications about attack events, only about discovered vulnerabilities or "incidents", force 2FA, ...).
- Issues. We've met several issues for the year of using (i.e. audit logs didn't work and there was no clear ETA of the fix).
- Wallarm support has access without any limitation to the admin panel, may change rules by themself and it is not presented in the audit logs.

**What problems is Wallarm API Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps to monitor "security researches" activity, block malicious requests.
