Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is scalable."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is stable."
"Imperva has a complete picture of how the applications are utilizing it. It is handy. DDoS is good. It has an internally managed database. It is very easy to integrate. We have integrated it with SIEM services."
"The most valuable features of the Imperva Web Application Firewall are DDoS, malware, and the other malicious threat prevention it provides. Additionally, third-party integration is available. You can forward the log for further analysis."
"There are many features. There is ease of deployment. You can deploy the Imperva Web Application Firewall in two to three minutes. After that, you have to set the policies. For setting policies, you have toggle buttons. You can turn something on or off."
"The compliance is the most valuable aspect."
"The dynamic profiling of websites is the solution's most valuable feature. The security is also good."
"The solution is very scalable. It is one of the most important features. You can also expand resources and features as well."
"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
 

Cons

"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."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the console by making it easier to use."
"It would be nice to have more security control over mobile applications so I would suggest adding more mobile security features. It would also be beneficial to see improvements in regards to interface bandwidth performance, CPU time, and RAM size. Learning capability of the device is quite weak."
"Their portal is very limited and needs improvement."
"It would be helpful to have a "recommended deployment", or even a list of basic features that should either be used or turned on by default."
"The UI interface needs improvement."
"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."
"I'd like the option to pick your bot protection."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a very affordable solution."
"The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."
"It's an excellent product, but it can be very costly."
"It is very costly, but the return on investment is very high. Its cost was around $70,000, and we got it back in just six months."
"The pricing is somewhat expensive. It is actually a huge investment when compared to other countries."
"Make sure you understand the way that Imperva charges. It's very affordable. However, I would like to see a package with the Virtual Patching included. You get to do patching separately."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall's pricing is expensive."
"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."

Questions from the Community

Is Citrix ADC (formerly Netscaler) the best ADC to use and if not why?
For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc.
DDoS solutions: Any other solutions to consider aside from Radware DefensePro and F5 Silverline DDoS Protection?
You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperv...
What are some best practices for AppTrana?
One of the best practices is to educate employees on how to avoid becoming a bot, so to speak. Attackers often use compromised devices controlled remotely to launch DDoS attacks. It's essential to...

The self-managed rules feature offers a lot of flexibility in defining the trigger conditions for activating rules within users' applications. Users can specify the circumstances under which the ru...
