Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The dynamic profiling of websites is the solution's most valuable feature. The security is also good.""The solution is very scalable. It is one of the most important features. You can also expand resources and features as well.""Learning mode and custom policies are helpful features.""There are some features that are configured by default, so even without doing much, it can still provide a level of protection.""Configuration for different application sources is most valuable. We can segregate the traffic that an application is carrying and identify the sizing in Imperva.""Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like signatures to identify attacks like cross-site scripting or SQL injection.""The tool's profiling feature maps all the web application directories and related components on the profile directory. It has improved the security of my client's website applications.""The solution integrates seamlessly with other tools and has a good alert mechanism."

Cons
"Sometimes, support tickets don't get addressed quickly.""They recently separated the WAF and the DAM management gateways in order for each of these to be managed from different areas, so I believe it now requires additional investments for what was previously a single complete solution.""Imperva Web Application Firewall is a good system, but we found that the visibility of the diverse-path server, e.g. where the traffic is coming from, the different IPs, etc., needs improvement.""The signature updates could be faster. Sometimes we have to upload signatures to the Imperva portal for checking and analysis before we can use them.""I would like to improve the tool's turnaround time in terms of support.""Imperva Web Application Firewall is very expensive.""The user interface could be better.""It would be nice to have more security control over mobile applications so I would suggest adding more mobile security features. It would also be beneficial to see improvements in regards to interface bandwidth performance, CPU time, and RAM size. Learning capability of the device is quite weak."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Make sure you understand the way that Imperva charges. It's very affordable. However, I would like to see a package with the Virtual Patching included. You get to do patching separately."
  • "Everybody complains about the price of this solution."
  • "The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
  • "The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."
  • "There are some licenses that you have to buy to use some features. Its price could be better. Price is always important because, at the end of the day, customers have a budget. If you can meet the budget, you can sell, and if you don't, you cannot sell."

  • "There are a couple of different licensing models."
  • "The price of Imperva Web Application Firewalls is expensive compared to others."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc. 
    Top Answer:You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperva… more »
