"A WAF with an A Team"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?

I find the support and deployment model most helpful with Wallarm. They are a capable and responsive team that cares deeply about our security and service. You can deploy Wallarm as an Nginx server on your network and control it via a SaaS dashboard. You regain control of your production network but still benefit from a managed and easy-to-use console—the best of both worlds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?

Like all web application firewalls, wallarm will require your attention to manage false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for business without extra requirements to WAF"

3.5/5

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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
