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 setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"It is a stable solution."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"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."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"The pricing is quite good."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
"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."
"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."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"The product's performance should be better."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
