"There could be some limitations that from the converged infrastructure perspective: when you want to converge with everything and you want Imperva to get there easily because it's not a cloud component. For example, when you want to build servers and you're using OneView to manage your software-defined networks, implementing Imperva right away is not that simple. But if you're doing just a simple cloud infrastructure with servers in there, you're good to go. Also, we are not able, with Imperva, to block by signatures. Imperva by itself needs to be complemented with another service to do URL filtering."
"Their portal is very limited and needs improvement."
"The process to upgrade from one version to another can be a lot simpler than it is currently."
"The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."
"One potential improvement for Imperva is enhancing its alert system."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the console by making it easier to use."
"An improvement for Imperva WAF would be to reduce the number of false positives and create more strong use cases based on AI/ML or behavioral analytics."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"The areas that could be improved in Signal Sciences include the effectiveness of rules, as many didn't function optimally and required custom rule-writing to address bypasses for WAF."
"Even if we create some custom rules, Signal Sciences cannot capture some of the malicious traffic."
