What do you like best about Waratek?

it is an effective solution to resolve security issues in unsupported products, where upgrading to a newer version of the product is not possible or feasible. The ease of configuration and graphical user interface make it an ideal choice for protecting applications.

Patching without code changes, reboots, or deployments has been a great way to reduce downtime, respond quickly to new threats, and comply with various regulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waratek?

The simplicity of the product, and no need for any additional infrastructure. It's very simple to implement, with great product documentation and a fantastic Waratek team supporting us through the process.

The functional configuration is also very simple, giving us instant protection from known vulnerabilities, and the confidence that we could quickly secure from any new, zero-day threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waratek?

We have not found any downside yet, other than the extra software to deploy and manage.

Testing has shown no performance or application impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waratek?

Security for unsupported products, where upgrading to a newer product version is not possible or not feasible (e.g. for cost reasons). In our scenario, we didn't have access to Oracle CPU patches and were using Waratek Secure to close that gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waratek?

Version update not very easy - nowadays, I would expect the management console to automatically load new rulesets from vendor servers (either automatically or at least on demand), showing the differences and letting the administrator select which ones to apply.

Also, with the current pricing model (changed 2020 or 2021, if I remember correctly), the comparison between using original upgrades and Waratek became much more close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Waratek?

The effectiveness and simplicity of the approach, combined with the level of up-close support. Add to this a friendly and patient team and fast deployment of solutions for new threats and you've got a recipe for yet another happy customer :). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waratek?

I don't really have anything I dislike. Maybe a more focused vision for the small players, although there's honestly nothing to stop a small business use the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
