"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."

"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."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."

"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
