AWS WAF Likes & Dislikes
What I like most about AWS WAF is how smoothly it integrates with the rest of the AWS ecosystem. Managed rules are very effective against common threats, which saves time and effort. Also the flexibility to create custom rules for our applications it gives a strong balance of ease of use and control. Overall, it makes securing applications feel reliable.
easy to use on new tenant solutions
It can be easy to use, at least it includes most basic features without much prior knowledge. Since we are already using Cloudfront the configuration and tuning was easier, the basic pricing structure is also very convenient. The built-in Managed rules are good enough to start and provides a good starting point.
The only thing I would mention is about the initial learning of this as setting up the rules can feel complex. Pricing is also on the slightly higher side compared to othe competitors
some limitations with their packet inspection tooling
To fully benefit from a DDoS mitigation service, you need to subscribe to Shield Advanced, which can be a little expensive in most cases. They should improve UX as well.

Cloudfront Integration Simplifies Setup But Advanced Protection Increases Cost
The product works well in most cases; there are cases where some extra features or flexibility could be added to be more intuitive.
