Radware cloud WAF solution experience by client
What do you like best about the product?
As an active user of Radware Cloud WAF, our organization relies heavily on its robust capabilities to monitor infrastructure and manage both WAF traffic and DDoS threats across our protected domains. The dashboard serves as our central command, offering a clear and comprehensive view of incoming internet traffic. This visibility empowers us to take timely and informed actions to safeguard domain security.
One standout feature we've leveraged recently is Geo-Fencing. With minimal effort, we were able to block traffic from specific regions based on country-level filters. Even more impressively, the platform allowed us to whitelist critical subnets from those regions, ensuring operational continuity without compromising security. The entire process was seamless and highly efficient.
We also want to highlight the Radware support team, whose proactive assistance has been consistently reliable. Their responsiveness and expertise have made a significant difference in our day-to-day operations.
Lastly, the user interface of the Radware console deserves praise. Its intuitive layout and well-organized feature set make it easy for clients to navigate and utilize the platform without hesitation. Whether you're a seasoned security professional or a first-time user, the GUI enhances usability and confidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Lack of Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Radware Cloud WAF offers basic user management, but for large enterprises with multiple teams (DevOps, SecOps, Compliance), the RBAC model lacks fine-grained permissions. For example, you can't easily restrict access to specific policy sets or audit logs without giving broader admin rights. This can lead to operational risk or internal friction in shared environments.
2. No Native Threat Intelligence Feed Customization
While Radware integrates its own threat intelligence, it doesn't allow easy ingestion of third-party threat feeds (e.g., from Recorded Future, MISP, or internal honeypots). This limits organizations that want to enrich WAF rules with proprietary or sector-specific threat data, reducing adaptability in targeted attack scenarios.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I will make this in very simple pointers:
1.Effortless Domain Onboarding
2.Geo-Fencing Efficiency
3.Exceptional Support Team
4.Centralized Traffic Visibility with useful information
These capabilities have collectively enhanced our ability to monitor, respond, and adapt to evolving security challenges with confidence and agility. We look forward to continued collaboration and innovation with the Radware team.
Monitored real-time threats with effective live data analysis for improved security measures
What is our primary use case?
My use case for the Radware Cloud WAF Service involves checking the WAF related to DDoS traffic from the public IP to the organization, which outlines how much impact there is on the WAF. We check the traffic to see what fluctuations occur from the outside and inside, particularly in regards to DDoS types of attacks as mentioned my basic monitoring workflow.
Monitoring Workflow:
- Traffic Analysis: I monitor traffic from public IPs to your organization, focusing on fluctuations that may indicate DDoS attacks.
- Impact Assessment: We evaluate how these attacks affect the WAF, especially in terms of utilization and attack surface.
- Escalation: If anomalies or high-impact events are detected, we raise a case with Redware support.
- Integration with SIEM: We already done, integrating with a SIEM tool can help correlate WAF data with other security logs for deeper insights.
- Historical Trend Analysis: Compare current traffic with historical data to identify patterns or recurring threats.
- Trends and Dashboard: We have creating a dashboard or report template to visualize the traffic and attack trends on live monitoring use.
How has it helped my organization?
The Radware's combination of negative and behavioral based positive security models is beneficial. This behavior is good for timely checks against threats utilizing live monitoring during attack surfaces from public environments, particularly for ISP-relevant traffic or recognizing malicious abnormal activities, which is effective in our environment.

We use the API Discovery feature. Regarding how Radware Cloud WAF Service has helped with compliance efforts, compliance actions are done by other tools for the Adani Group, however, we check WAF integrations with our domains through the Radware portal.
We have created a small dashboard monitoring various group-wise applications and domains, including corporate business units, ensuring all websites and public IPs are accounted for. The compliance processes are predefined. We remain compliant. We use additional tools alongside Radware and BITs; both tools provide similar functionalities, and we check Radware for risk mitigation related to any threat intel.
This has quite an impact on our business; all applications and domains are mapped via API with Radware Cloud WAF Service. We receive scores, alerts about impacts, and informational notifications via email for necessary follow-up actions.
