We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiWeb and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet is a great SD-WAN player when it comes to security capabilities."
"High-performance and detection engines, provide a high rate of exposure of web attacks."
"It is easy to install and to maintain."
"It's the extra security that is the most valuable feature. You have insight into your traffic. There are some great insights into what utilities hackers are trying to exploit. It blocks a lot of stuff from the internet."
"When it comes to blocking unknown threats and attacks, I would give it the highest score possible. We first started using AWS and its Web Application Firewalls. That was okay, but it was quite a manual process to keep it up to date, whereas Fortinet is always up to date, and the default rules or the modules that you can turn on are very easy to use."
"This product is very user-friendly."
"One main feature we are very happy about is file security and upload functionality."
"Technical support is very good."
"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."
"Technical support was very helpful."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"When we look at the incident reports in the dashboard, they are available for a maximum duration of 24 hours. They should provide more time for the analysis and increase the duration of the availability of these reports. Currently, it gives the options for 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours. It would be excellent if there are more options for a longer time period. It may be configurable, but I don't know how to do it."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."
"The product’s stability could be improved."
"I would like to have an antivirus option."
"We would like to know more about the integration with the hardware or security products, such as Gemalto, because we need to move to that point."
"FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."
"Lacks functionalities that are available in other solutions."
"Most of the deployment is done by our development team because they have some parameters that match the configuration. However, when we initially did the deployment we used a consultant company."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"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."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"It's quite expensive."
