Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The solution integrates seamlessly with other tools and has a good alert mechanism."
"Imperva WAF's strongest features are the detection of web application threats and vulnerabilities in the source code."
"The compliance is the most valuable aspect."
"It has fewer false positives"
"Very intuitive and granular configuration - It does not require much time, or advanced knowledge, for configuration and maintenance."
"Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like signatures to identify attacks like cross-site scripting or SQL injection."
"There are a number of features that are valuable such as the account takeover and various antivirus features."
"The most important feature I have found to be the ease in how to do the backup and restores."
"I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues."
"When it is set up properly, it can do scanning on web apps with multiple engines automatically."
"It scans all the components developed within a web application."
"The setup is usually straightforward."
"I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards."
"The initial deployment is very straightforward and simple. The product is stable if configured properly."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 AppSpider is the vulnerability reporting data. Additionally, the data is reported in a convenient way rather than seeing them as a PDF. We are able to generate all the reports exactly what we want in a flexible way."
"It is complicated to integrate the solution's on-cloud version with other platforms."
"There's always room for improvement. Occasionally, there might be false-positive alerts."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the console by making it easier to use."
"The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."
"I don't really use it and therefore can't speak to areas of improvement."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"They can provide an option to create reports, automatically import the entire report, and create rules again. In a real-life crisis, it would be helpful to be able to import a report and generate security rules from that report. I should be able to create a simple query and import the reports automatically. It can maybe also tell us the format of the report."
"It would be useful if the solution used more intelligence in attack protection. For example, firewalls are to be dependent on the configuration, but if they could have some data science around it the solution would be even better. The profiling of the traffic, and making decisions surrounding that should be intelligence-based, instead of being based on the configuration of the firewall itself."
"It needs better integration with mobile applications."
"The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable."
"Support response times are slow and can be improved."
"There are some glitches with stability, and it is an area for improvement."
"The tech support is responsive but issues remain unresolved."
"This price of this solution is a little bit expensive."
"One of the challenges I have with AppSpider is that it gives you a lot of false positives, especially when compared to other solutions."
"The dashboard and interface are crucial and they need some improvement."
