Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."Learning mode and custom policies are helpful features."
"The most valuable features of Imperva Web Application Firewall are the monitoring of databases and the dashboards are easy to understand."
"The compliance is the most valuable aspect."
"The solution is cloud-based and offers us good uptime. It has combined web and API security. Therefore, with one license, you access both application security and also API security."
"Compared to other web application firewalls in the market, Imperva does things in the most accurate way."
"If you are using the appliance as opposed to the virtual deployment, it can stand as the network layer-two and provide real transparency."
"Configuration for different application sources is most valuable. We can segregate the traffic that an application is carrying and identify the sizing in Imperva."
"The WAF itself has been very valuable to me because it has such a complete range of features. Another reason why I like it is because it also takes care of the total overview of the traffic over the network."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"It is fully automated."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"Sometimes our web application firewall will slow down."
"There could be some limitations that from the converged infrastructure perspective: when you want to converge with everything and you want Imperva to get there easily because it's not a cloud component. For example, when you want to build servers and you're using OneView to manage your software-defined networks, implementing Imperva right away is not that simple. But if you're doing just a simple cloud infrastructure with servers in there, you're good to go. Also, we are not able, with Imperva, to block by signatures. Imperva by itself needs to be complemented with another service to do URL filtering."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"The tool's UI is complicated. It would be best to have a more accessible UI dashboard to make the job easier."
"The solution works for particular zones but isn't always the best solution for all zones."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is a good system, but we found that the visibility of the diverse-path server, e.g. where the traffic is coming from, the different IPs, etc., needs improvement."
"The support for the on-premises version needs improvement."
"I would like to improve the tool's turnaround time in terms of support."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"The report customization needs to be better."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
