Systems supporting only snort rules and lacking a positive security model are not usually not considered a web application firewall, but rather an intrusion prevention system.

Hello,

I would refer you back to the article, where it talks about this being a value market product, that is products specifically marketed (and priced) towards the SMB. F5 and Citrix are ADCs that are marketed at larger enterprises, and are priced accordingly.

So no, it’s not wrong, Barracuda is the only other vendor in the value ADC market that offers WAF.

Hi,
there nice to see such a product review but I’am sorry to say that the author do not knwo much about application security.

He claims “the only other value market product to have this capability is the Barracuda” what is absolutely wrong. There are a lot of WAF’s Web Application Firewalls out there have the ability for Load Balancing, or even Load Balancers haveing the ability of Web Application Security. Have look at F5, Imperva, Deny All, Visonys, Citrix and ….

Sorry to be rude but the author is absolutely wrong and with such an article the only purpose is to have one company in a very good position.

Cheers
