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."It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"Technical support was very helpful."
"It is a stable solution."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The health status information, with its highly detailed reporting, has saved us time on troubleshooting. We have the precise information needed that helps us find different types of situations."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"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."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"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."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"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."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"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."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"Performance could be improved."
