"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."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"IncapRules is one of the most valuable features, as you can create your own security and access control rules on top of your security policy. Using IncapRules we were able to easily block Layer 7 DDoS attacks several times."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"The product offers high availability."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"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."
"It's quite expensive."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"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."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
