Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."It can scale well."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the ability to disseminate between the user entering some wrong value to the field, and a suspicious actor trying to exploit some known vulnerability."
"The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"FortiWeb is easy to operate with a reasonably high level of protection. FortiWeb provides multiple deployment options with a physical or virtual (FortiWeb-VM) appliance, and acts either as a reverse/transparent proxy or out-of-band. It is also available on AWS and Azure."
"It is easy to install and to maintain."
"The solution is easy to configure and deploy."
"Security Fabric integration. This is really a value-added feature as FortiWeb can interact with the rest of the client’s Fortinet pack to provide an intelligent security layer like (FortiSIEM for central log management and correlation, FortiGate, FortiSandbox for malware analysis, etc.)."
"It is a good product. We have just blocked everything coming from some geographical locations or certain countries, and it has been working very efficiently when I look at logs, events, and incidents generated from the system. It is generating very good analytic reports about it. This is the most valuable thing about this solution. It has load balancing and almost everything that a web application firewall needs. It is very flexible and easy to learn and configure. It can be easily learned and configured by using the information available on different channels such as YouTube."
"This is a stable product."
"The company focuses on and has a passion for security."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"The integration is great."
"Their support needs improvement."
"We use Kubernetes, so I would like to have a plugin to configure FortiWeb Cloud automatically using Kubernetes Ingress. That would reduce the complexity of setting up an Ingress object in Kubernetes. Some competing solutions help you configure Ingress and Kubernetes automatically."
"The false positives are annoying."
"The support side of things can be improved."
"The product's scalability could be better."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution could have more customization."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"The updates could be better."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"I have worked with IBM before, and I prefer its ease of deployment and management. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security has tricky deployment, whereas IBM's deployment is straightforward because of the UI."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
