Key learnings from peers

Last updated Apr 18, 2024

Valuable Features

"Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like signatures to identify attacks like cross-site scripting or SQL injection."
"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 tool's profiling feature maps all the web application directories and related components on the profile directory. It has improved the security of my client's website applications."

Room for Improvement

"The signature updates could be faster. Sometimes we have to upload signatures to the Imperva portal for checking and analysis before we can use them."
"The only disadvantage of Imperva is that it is a pretty costly solution."
"The tool's UI is complicated. It would be best to have a more accessible UI dashboard to make the job easier."

Pricing

"The price is high compared to other solutions like FortiWeb."
"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."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall's pricing is expensive."
