"The customizable features are good."
"We do not have to maintain the solution."
"Its best feature is that it is on the cloud and does not require local hardware resources."
"The most valuable feature is the security, making sure that files are protected, preventing unauthorized users from accessing the system."
"Their technical support has been quite good."
"It is Amazon. Everything is scalable. It is beyond what we need."
"It's simple, easy to use."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is easy to configure."
"It is a stable solution."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"It will be helpful if the product recommends rules that we can implement."
"We don't have much control over blocking, because the WAF is managed by AWS."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."

"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."

"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
