We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of AWS WAF are its cloud-native and on-demand."
"AWS WAF is something that someone from a cloud background or cloud security background leverages. If they want to natively use a solution in the cloud, AWS WAF comes in handy. It's very useful for that, and the way we can fine-tune the WAF rules is also nice."
"The security firewall plus the features that protect against database injections or scripting,"
"It's simple, easy to use."
"AWS WAF has a lot of integrated features and services. For example, there are security services that can be integrated very well for our customers."
"Its best feature is that it is on the cloud and does not require local hardware resources."
"AWS has flexibility in terms of WAF rules."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about ten minutes or less."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Gives us the ability to trace each connection, and to have logs to be able to differentiate between a positive and a false-positive intruder action."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"We haven't faced any problems with the solution."
"I would like to see it more tightly integrated with other AWS services."
"The technical support does not respond to bugs in the coding of the product."
"The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"AWS WAF would be better if it uses AI or machine learning to detect a potential attack or a potential IP that creates an attack even before it happens. I want AWS WAF to capture the IP and automatically write the rule to automate the entire process."
"The product must provide more features."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
