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 technical support is excellent."
"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."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"The solution has a very good interface."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"The solution's integration is very good."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"It has a filter available, although we are not currently using it because it is not part of our requirements. But it is a good option and when it becomes part of our requirements we will definitely use it."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"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."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"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 solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
