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."I have recently been looking at the SSL certificate features and the learning mode of the appliance. This appliance learns from the pattern of SSL attacks."
"We find that it is quite stable and reliable."
"L-7 protection makes possible to protect legacy/not up-to-date servers/applications without changing the application code."
"Provides good vulnerability scanning, IPS, and geolocalization."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"The reason I recommend this product is because it guarantees that your network will be safe if it is set up properly and you fully utilize most of the functions."
"One of the big advantages of using Fortinet FortiWeb is all the Fortinet family solutions use the same user interface and logic. This makes it easy to use, configure, manage, and understand if you have used one of their solutions before or are wanting to implement other Fortinet solutions in the future. Additionally, all Fortinet solutions can be managed with one application called FortiManager."
"Other than the additional security with exploit protection, we have simpler certificate handling, as we can keep internal servers using internal certificates continuously distributed and updated by Active Directory Group Policy, while the public certificates become updated only in a single place, FortiWeb itself."
"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."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"DDoS protection and WAF are the most valuable features. It is easy to deploy a service. It is easy and quick to deploy to a new website."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"The solution has a very good interface."
"The support side of things can be improved."
"Their support needs improvement."
"The solution could have more customization."
"It costs too much."
"The dashboards are not that configurable. Application-specific dashboards can be improved. If we have 50 applications, there should be something to see what's happening with these 50 applications. There could be a graph or a consolidated alert page where all alerts are inbuilt. They have other products that I can use, but this feature should be built into FortiWeb."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve in reference architecture for different deployment scenarios."
"Describing security rules should be improved. It's tricky to define new feature tools when you want to describe an attack pattern and want to block it."
"FortiGate could be improved on the security end because we've had some incidents with the customer. Otherwise, there is no problem."
"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 solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"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's quite expensive."
