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."Learning mode and custom policies are helpful features."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"It mitigates all of the availabilities of risks around web applications."
"The dynamic profiling of websites is the solution's most valuable feature. The security is also good."
"It has threat intelligence and we are using Incapsula. With threat intelligence, we can separate HTTP and HTTPS traffic. We can use Incapsula to send all the threat intelligence to the WAF."
"The most valuable features of the Imperva Web Application Firewall are DDoS, malware, and the other malicious threat prevention it provides. Additionally, third-party integration is available. You can forward the log for further analysis."
"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."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"The user interface could be better."
"The only disadvantage of Imperva is that it is a pretty costly solution."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall can improve by providing better features, such as improved prevention of zero-day attacks. Additionally, it should include a VR meta-analysis."
"I would like to improve the tool's turnaround time in terms of support."
"I think that better bot protection is needed in this solution."
"They recently separated the WAF and the DAM management gateways in order for each of these to be managed from different areas, so I believe it now requires additional investments for what was previously a single complete solution."
"The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."
"I'd like the option to pick your bot protection."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"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."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"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."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
