We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudFront and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"Feature-wise, I like the solution's signed URL because it provides security for me."
"The most valuable feature is the number of servers they can put your content in while being reliable."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to deliver content to users nearby."
"The support team is knowledgeable."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed of delivery."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"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."
"Amazon CloudFront is harder to understand compared to Azure."
"They could be expanding the number of locations available. It will help users easily access content."
"Amazon CloudFront's setup is a bit difficult, and we would love it if they made it easier."
"Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
