Gartner Peer Insights reviews that contributed to the company's recognition highlighted that "Signal Sciences does an exceptional job ensuring with the customer that the product works perfectly in deployment, as well as in its maturation for both integration and security. The product is top-notch, but the support and willingness to collaborate from the SigSci team is what puts this vendor ahead of its competition."

Another participating user highlights that "the Signal Sciences WAF has offered unprecedented protection of our web applications and APIs. We process more than 1.5 billion web requests per month, many of which are malicious traffic or attacks, while we rely on Signal Sciences to distinguish signal from noise using intelligent and dynamic methods. The Signal Sciences WAF is easy to deploy, intuitive, effective and one of the main security technologies we use."

It is no less important that the rules engine is extremely flexible and very capable out of the box," acknowledges another of the leaders consulted by Gartner.
