"Strong Web App Protection with AWS WAF’s Managed Rules and Seamless AWS Integrations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS WAF?

What I like most about AWS WAF is that it helps protect web applications from common threats without requiring dedicated security appliances or complicated infrastructure. Features such as managed rule sets, custom rules, IP filtering, and bot protection make it easier to secure applications while still maintaining performance.

Its integration with CloudFront, Application Load Balancers, and API Gateway is especially valuable because it lets me apply security controls consistently across multiple application entry points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS WAF?

False positives can sometimes happen, especially when aggressive security rules end up blocking legitimate traffic. To maintain a good balance between strong security and a smooth user experience, ongoing rule tuning and regular monitoring are necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS WAF solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS WAF helps protect internet-facing applications from common web attacks and malicious traffic.

We use AWS WAF to secure APIs and web applications running behind CloudFront and Application Load Balancers. It blocks malicious requests, suspicious IP addresses, SQL injection attempts, and other common OWASP attack patterns before they ever reach our application servers.

Overall, this strengthens application security, reduces unnecessary load on our backend systems, and supports our efforts to meet security compliance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
