Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly."
"Compute@Edge features are valuable to me."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."
"Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute."
"The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"Support is not that great."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."

"The solution's pricing could be better."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"It's quite expensive."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
