Protection (WAAP) for the sixth consecutive year – and the only

(WAF), Fastly received 4.9 out of 5 stars in each category,
including Product Capabilities (based on 128 responses), Sales
Experience (based on 110 responses), Deployment Experience (based

Fastly was the only vendor to be recognized as Customers’ Choice in
WAAP – Large Enterprise category. It also received recognition as a
GartnerⓇ Peer Insights™ Midsize Enterprise Customers’
Choice and a GartnerⓇ Peer Insights™ Customers’
Choice for Europe, Middle East and Africa. In total, 92% of
reviewers gave Fastly five stars.
GartnerⓇ Peer Insights™ reviews that contributed
to Fastly’s recognition included:
- “From pre-sales through implementation support and ongoing
care/maintenance, I have been highly pleased with every interaction
I have with Fastly.” – Senior Director of Software Engineering,
services industry
- “We've been a Fastly (SigSci) customer for several years and
are happy with the low overhead involved with the product. We
generally look for products that take little of our SoC's precious
time (management, false positives) and Fastly WAF has accomplished
that objective.” – Cybersecurity Operations Officer, finance
(non-banking) industry
- “Fastly's NGWAF provided the functionality for us to mature our
WAF approach from strictly IP to signals (policy) that was more
flexible and adaptable to the ever-changing threat landscape. The
UI provides a nice at-a-glance dashboard [with] a number of tiles
that show relevant data that is actionable if something is
identified as a threat.” – Senior Director - Enterprise Architect,
travel and hospitality industry
- “Effective and light-weight WAF that's a pleasure to manage.
The flexible deployment options make it suitable for both on-prem
and cloud-hosted applications. Great support from Fastly to tackle
any issues faced.” – Head of Technology, software industry
- “It truly has been the best WAF that I have deployed in my
career.” – Security Architect, software industry
“It continues to be affirming and inspiring to hear directly
from our customers how well the Fastly Next-Gen WAF is helping them
achieve their security goals,” said Kim Ogletree, Chief Customer
Officer at Fastly. “To secure their diverse environments, our
customers want options that are both easy to use and allow deep
customizations. We believe that this recognition as a
GartnerⓇ Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for the
sixth year running confirms Fastly’s commitment to these
expectations, and to exceeding them with both security and speed,”
Ogletree added.
“Gartner defines cloud web application and API protection (WAAP)
as a category of security solutions designed to protect web
applications irrespective of their hosted locations. Typically
delivered as a service, cloud WAAP is offered as a series of
security modules that provide protection from a broad range of
runtime attacks. It offers protection from the top 10 web
application security risks defined by the Open Web Application
Security Project (OWASP) and automated threats, provides API
security, and can detect and protect against multiple sophisticated
Layer 7 attacks targeted at web applications. Cloud WAAP’s core
features include web application firewall (WAF), bot management,
distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation and API
protection.
In the cloud WAAP market, GartnerⓇ Peer Insights™
published 1,170 reviews and ratings in the 18-month period ending
February 29, 2024. Vendors’ User Interest and Adoption scores
incorporate three factors, each given one-third weight: review
volume, user willingness to recommend, and review market coverage
across industry, company size, and deployment region. A vendor must
meet or exceed the market average User Interest and Adoption Score
to qualify for the right-hand quadrants, vendors placed in the
upper-right quadrant are recognized with the Customers' Choice
distinction. Vendors’ Overall Experience is a composite score that
incorporates the average Overall Rating and two sub-rating
averages: “Capabilities” and “Support/Delivery.”
