Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable."
"Rules Engine is a valuable feature."
"It inspects the traffic at the network level before it comes into Azure. We can do SSL offloading, and it can detect abnormalities before the traffic comes into the application. It can be used globally and is easy to set up. It is also quite stable and scalable."
"I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."
"The web application firewall is a great feature."
"The solution is good."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system."
"I'm responsible for the governance and cost control of Azure. I'm not a specialist in any products and therefore I couldn't really speak effectively to features that are lacking or missing."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"It lacks sufficient functionality."
"There is room for improvement and they're working on it."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"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."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
