Can you explain it to me in plain English?

Can't make it clear which kind of firewalls to choose in terms of performance and its cost. Thanx in advance

Hi De la Pena!
Here is an article https://www.ptsecurity.com/ww-en/analytics/knowledge-base/waf-web-application-firewall/ about web app firewalls in general but it covers the difference between those 2 kinds of firewalls.

I always thought that cloud-based firewalls were cheaper. Not sure about their performance though.
