What Customers Are Saying
“Having a thunder ADC most of the customers benefit from enhancement on the application availability, ensuring business continuity, accelerating content delivery, protecting the server from application vulnerability, and lastly securing the communication.”
“Extremely pleasing. I have used a lot of other WAFs on the market, and they all require a lot of tuning to be perfect. Fastly’s next-gen WAF, however, is smarter and able to make blocking decisions that do not rely on regex to operate. This eliminates false positives. What this means in reality is that you spend less time operating the WAF, and more time enjoying it. Our customers also love the product, and once they jump on board, will never go back to a traditional regex-based WAF.”
Seeing is believing.
