Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has many features that are comprehensive."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature is the number of servers they can put your content in while being reliable."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is easy to configure."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"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."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application."
"Amazon CloudFront's setup is a bit difficult, and we would love it if they made it easier."
"They should have more Edge locations so that CloudFront can be used much more. If they can make it a little bit cheaper and better than other networks, we will be able to use it more."
"Support needs to be enhanced."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"The solution can benefit from expanding its data center and server locations to multiple places for smoother content delivery with even lower latency. The latency we experience is sufficient for our needs, and we are doing well. However, if they expand their locations in the future, it could be a positive factor. Its competitors have multiple data and server locations."
"The tool must provide regional control."
"The solution could be more simplified for new users. It could be more user-friendly."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"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."
"Imperva now offers add-ons to add functionality, but I would like to see these included in the product, even if it would cost more."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
