"I am impressed with the product's load-balancing feature."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"It's a good product because it supports all the features that ADC solutions in the market can support, like F5 solutions, for example, such as the LTM of F5."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."

"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"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."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."

"The product's stability for VMs could be better."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
"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."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"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."
