Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Cisco Web Application and API Protection (WAAP)
Best for: Teams wanting mobile app protection alongside web and API WAF
The trade-off is that Cisco WAAP has less publicly available technical depth in its documentation compared to Akamai or Imperva, and the integration ecosystem is limited based on available data. There are no listed third-party integrations, which could be a concern for teams that need WAF events flowing into a SIEM or SOAR platform. If deep integration with your existing security stack is a requirement, verify the integration capabilities directly with Cisco before committing.
