"Set-and-Forget Security with Auto-Updating Rules"

4/5

What do you like best about Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF?

I like that Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF protects our web apps against OWASP Top 10 attacks, including SQL injection, XSS, and bot attacks. The managed rulesets save us from writing custom rules manually, and layering them with rate limiting and geo-blocking enhances security. I appreciate that it blocks attacks at the edge without the need for manual rule upkeep, and we no longer have to write and update signatures ourselves. The automatic handling of new CVEs allows our developers to stay focused on features while security remains current. I love the 'set and forget' threat protection with rules updating automatically, requiring zero manual patching. The initial setup was smooth, taking under 30 minutes and attaching to the ALB in the AWS console without needing any config files, and it worked out of the box.

I occasionally experience false positives, where some legitimate traffic gets flagged, especially with multi-step web apps. Additionally, I feel the logging could be more granular. Another concern is the pricing, which jumps at certain request volume tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
