Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."The solution can scale."
"The features I have found most valuable with Imperva Web Application Firewall are account takeover protection, advanced bot protection, and API security."
"Its inline transferring mode is the most valuable because it is 100% transparent. When you change the IP, there is no change on the network side. If you can't and want to try to reach an IP, you can reach the server IP. There are many other advanced security features in it. The smallest appliances of Imperva can handle the highest traffic at a customer site. For example, a smaller appliance from Imperva can provide you the same security as an F5 product."
"We can prevent attacks or issues even before they happen."
"It has fewer false positives"
"The solution is cloud-based and offers us good uptime. It has combined web and API security. Therefore, with one license, you access both application security and also API security."
"The WAF itself has been very valuable to me because it has such a complete range of features. Another reason why I like it is because it also takes care of the total overview of the traffic over the network."
"If you are using the appliance as opposed to the virtual deployment, it can stand as the network layer-two and provide real transparency."
"It is fully automated."
"All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"The tool's UI is complicated. It would be best to have a more accessible UI dashboard to make the job easier."
"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."
"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."
"I think that better bot protection is needed in this solution."
"One potential improvement for Imperva is enhancing its alert system."
"Sometimes our web application firewall will slow down."
"It's a complicated tool to keep."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"The report customization needs to be better."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
