We performed a comparison between Azure Front Door and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"Rules Engine is a valuable feature."
"The solution is good."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Technical support was very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table."
"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."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"There is room for improvement and they're working on it."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"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 needs to improve its latency."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"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."
"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 product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
