It offers: - Excellent API and web app protection, supported by machine learning and the latest threat recognition technology - Lightweight deployment and strong automation support (API-driven) - First class partner support from Wallarm - Clear visibility of threats and security issues

Like

Dislike

1. Complex initial setup: The initial deployment and configuration can be quite complex for users who are new to API security or don't have a strong DevOps experience. Clear setup guide or more automated onboarding would be helpful. 2. Pricing structure: For smaller organizations or startups, pricing can be on the higher side compared to other API security tools, especially when scaling across multiple environments. 3. Limited customization options: While the platform provides robust out of the box policies, there is limited flexibility to deeply customize certain detection rules or dashboards to specific organizational needs.

Dislike

Occasional complexity in fine-tuning some rules (but it comes with this type of product)

    Jan 16, 2026
    We use Wallarm as part of our managed security and API protection offering for customers across cloud and hybrid environments. To create this offer, we evaluated a variety of vendors and came across Wallarm. The number of deployment options as well as the SaaS offering, protocol support and use of cutting-edge made the decision an easy one. With this, we can leverage Wallarm in almost any customer scenario while keeping the false-positive rate low. From our MSSP perspective, multi-tenant support and possibilities to automate were other significant reasons. Apart from all that, everyone at Wallarm has been (and still is) extremely helpful, responsive and supporting.
