"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.

"Great product for web application security from real experts"

5/5

Convenient UI with all key information on a single dashboard. Powerful search capabilities in the events log. Vulnerability scanner is a useful addition to WAF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?

From time to time you need to update the network perimeter to exclude nodes that were automatically added by scanner. But it is better to exclude something extraneous than find that something important is not included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for large number of sites that require protection with minimum hassle"

5/5

What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?

I like how you could deploy Wallarm in one line of code as a docker container. It also automatically detects payloads no need to teach it anything about your app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?

I wish it had more marketplace integrations such as Heroku Elements or MuleSoft's Anypoint Exchange. Also, I would like to have built-in integrations with some business-intelligence tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wallarm API Security Platform:

There are very few products in the market that offer true AI functionality. Always test the software on real sites with your own data sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It works great for MarTech applications. When our marketing team wants to deploy a landing page quickly, we use Wallarm to prevent hacking of these "long tail" web resources that usually get less love from the security team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"1,5 years together in production with successful growth up to x10 requests"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Wallarm API Security Platform?

The system is quick to learn and makes it possible to teach by marking the hits as fall positive.

Friendly UX.

IP-blocking mode.

24x7 support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wallarm API Security Platform?

1) It took 6 months to remove all false-positive to make blocking mode in production. it's not on the tool itself, just to be aware of implementing it.

2) If you are looking at DDoS also, many of them have WAF also. And WallArm doesn't have DDoS. So it would be better to use one vendor for that.

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