What differentiates AWS Web Application Firewall from other similar products?

Amazon Web Services provides in-built firewall to the customer is known as AWS Web Application Firewall.(AWS WAF). Unlike other similar products, AWS WAF provides many default Firewall rules which explicitly blocks the malicious traffic from entering into VPC, no need to configure complex rules.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of AWS WAF is the numbers of default firewall rules. They are providing the extra layer of protection, with Web Access Control lists, which are many by default. It's pricing is also fair. Also, decreases the overhead of managing a external firewall such as Palo Alto..

What do you dislike most about this product?

WAF cannot be used for our onprem legacy apps. Also the training available is not very good.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your applications are hosted in AWS Cloud, please go for it.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

Guarding the Cloud: AWS WAF Review

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates AWS Web Application Firewall from other similar products?

It provides a barrier between external and internal network traffic. It helps us to protect from common web attacks and vulnerabilities. It is highly scalable. It gives us flexibility to create custom rules. Also it offers comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I mostly like its logging and monitoring part because of this we can set up alerts on blocked traffics. And also its scalability.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As I am the user of this I felt that sometimes it is little bit costly if we use multiple WAFs for our wide range of projects.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would highly recommend this to others because it is scalable, and also by using AWS WAF we can easily block any unwanted traffic and also it works as a shield for us in case of any common web attacks.
