Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are a number of features that are valuable such as the account takeover and various antivirus features."
"Compared to other web application firewalls in the market, Imperva does things in the most accurate way."
"The solution is scalable."
"It mitigates all of the availabilities of risks around web applications."
"There is a quick switch between any of the the nodes if something goes wrong, where there's a there's an attack against a specific area. The security setup is reasonably easy. It's not a problem to do setups and rules and integrations. And, yeah, just the the back end team is also very willing to insist if there's questions that that we cannot answer or with these questions that we do have"
"There are some features that are configured by default, so even without doing much, it can still provide a level of protection."
"Configuration for different application sources is most valuable. We can segregate the traffic that an application is carrying and identify the sizing in Imperva."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is a highly stable solution and is very mature."
More Imperva Web Application Firewall pros
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
 

Cons

"It is complicated to integrate the solution's on-cloud version with other platforms."
"In the past, I have bugs on the WAF. I've contacted Imperva about them. Future releases should be less buggy."
"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."
"Some of the features should be included in the next release is a file integrating monitoring tool. This feature should be improved."
"The user interface could be better."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall can improve by adding more features to the dashboard. increasing the visibility of the real-time events, besides configuring the administration itself."
"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 am looking for more data enrichment. We should have the ability to add our own custom data to the system, to the live traffic."
More Imperva Web Application Firewall cons
"The area that should be improved is licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everybody complains about the price of this solution."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is expensive."
"There is a license for this solution and we purchase the license annually with no additional fees."
"There are a couple of different licensing models."

My recommendation is Imperva.

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.
