"The image loading process is easy and cost-effective too."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the availability of the websites."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed of delivery."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application."
"The lack of seamless integration made the setup process more complex and required additional research to manage all the services properly."
"During the setup phase, there were some hiccups in terms of security, the user role, and the permissions."
"Amazon CloudFront's setup is a bit difficult, and we would love it if they made it easier."
"They should have more Edge locations so that CloudFront can be used much more. If they can make it a little bit cheaper and better than other networks, we will be able to use it more."
"The solution can benefit from expanding its data center and server locations to multiple places for smoother content delivery with even lower latency. The latency we experience is sufficient for our needs, and we are doing well. However, if they expand their locations in the future, it could be a positive factor. Its competitors have multiple data and server locations."
"Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters."

"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."

"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
