Cons
"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 support for the on-premises version needs improvement.""It's a complicated tool to keep.""The UI interface needs improvement.""Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the API integration. It was complex for us. Additionally, The onboarding could be better.""The signature updates could be faster. Sometimes we have to upload signatures to the Imperva portal for checking and analysis before we can use them.""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.""I'd like the option to pick your bot protection."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
  • "The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."
