Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."It can scale well."
"I have recently been looking at the SSL certificate features and the learning mode of the appliance. This appliance learns from the pattern of SSL attacks."
"Technical support is very good."
"FortiWeb offers machine learning in the latest product. This fixed many problems. There are no false negatives."
"Some of the threat detection analytics and the filtering capabilities they give us for filtering a certain type of information that we don't want coming into the site are its valuable features. The analytics are pretty good in terms of being able to see what threats have been detected and mitigated, where they're coming from, and things like that."
"It's stable and works efficiently against OWASP Top 10 attacks."
"Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.)."
"When we had Cisco we had around thirty thousand entries on our firewalls. Now we are down to three thousand. Fortinet has a mechanism to detect all of your entries which are not used, and it can clean it up."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"It is not entirely user-friendly."
"The product’s stability could be improved."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve in reference architecture for different deployment scenarios."
"We use Kubernetes, so I would like to have a plugin to configure FortiWeb Cloud automatically using Kubernetes Ingress. That would reduce the complexity of setting up an Ingress object in Kubernetes. Some competing solutions help you configure Ingress and Kubernetes automatically."
"The dashboards are not that configurable. Application-specific dashboards can be improved. If we have 50 applications, there should be something to see what's happening with these 50 applications. There could be a graph or a consolidated alert page where all alerts are inbuilt. They have other products that I can use, but this feature should be built into FortiWeb."
"The reporting could be optimized."
"The agent does not monitor databases in the containers."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
