Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"Imperva now offers add-ons to add functionality, but I would like to see these included in the product, even if it would cost more."
"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."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The price could be better."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
