We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 customized billing is the most valuable feature."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"I believe the most impressive features are integration and ease of use. The best part of AWS WAF is the cloud-native WAF integration. There aren't any hidden deployments or hidden infrastructure which we have to maintain to have AWS WAF. AWS maintains everything; all we have to do is click the button, and WAF will be activated. Any packet coming through the internet will be filtered through."
"What I like best about AWS WAF is that it's a simple tool, so I could understand the basics of AWS WAF in two to three hours."
"The most valuable aspect is that it protects our code. It's a bit difficult to overwrite code in our application. It also protects against threats."
"AWS has flexibility in terms of WAF rules."
"The stability of AWS WAF is valuable."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"It is a stable solution."
"I would like to see it more tightly integrated with other AWS services."
"The setup is complicated."
"While the complexity of the installation can vary from one service to another, overall, I would say that it and the configuration and navigation are somewhat complex."
"One area for improvement in AWS WAF could be the limitation on the number of rules, particularly those from third-party sources, within the free tier."
"They have to do more to improve, to innovate more features. They need to increase the security. It has to be more active in detecting threats."
"The product must provide more features."
"On the UI side, I would like it if they could bring back the geolocation view on the corner."
"The solution could improve by having better rules, they are very basic at the moment. There are more attacks coming and we have to use third-party solutions, such as FIA. The features are not sufficient to prevent all the attacks, such as DDoS. Overall the solution should be more secure."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"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 rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
