"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."

"It blocks all types of attacks."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"I had a terrible experience with Fortinet support. I only used support once when I bought the solution. I got no response for two days. However, I believe that it's no longer the case. Fortinet solutions have problems when they're launched. For example, we had issues with Fortinet's authenticator when it came out. We also had trouble with FortiNAC in the beginning."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
"Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"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."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"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."
