Manager - IT Security at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I do have experience with Imperva SecureSphere. I am working with various solutions that have various features and how these solutions work for different customers. For one customer, I was trying to do some research to see if they should replace Trustwave WAF with a different solution because the customer asked me about other possibilities. This was my first customer who had asked me to look into Trustwave, so I also took the time to research that product. But different products fit different businesses and industries better.

We compared this with other solutions like Akamai, but it couldn't deliver the same as Imperva Incapsula. We don't use specific application tweaks. We only use basic mechanisms of cashing and six years ago, when we were looking for a solution, there was no solution like this one out there. Incapsula does what we need it to do, and we like the easy installation process. We think still that Incapsula is the best.

Before choosing this product, we evaluate other options in great detail. We looked at CloudFlare, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Wordfence, BulletProof Security, Varnish, Mod_Security, ConfigServer, and a variety of other options. Incapsula isn't the cheapest, but is way in front of the competition. You'll easily spend double/triple the cost of your Incapsula subscription on maintaining any other solution, whereas Incapsula handles all that overhead for you, right out of the box.

We tried the competition, Cloudflare, we even used them, but Incapsula is more suitable to use for web/mobile applications, and that is how we use it.

I knew the solutions available in the market because I was working in a cyber-security company. I suggested the product, because I knew the product and that they are better than other solutions for my needs.

We looked at CloudFlare, but they don’t offer the same security features. Incapsula was selected because of the uniqueness of the security features.

We got a feel for pricing and capabilities of other competing systems. However, Incapsula came highly recommended by our trusted security VAR as they had many customers who experienced great results with it. With that ringing endorsement, and the reasonable cost, we tried it out, loved it, and have been using it ever since.

I only saw Cloudflare and Akamai, but the latter is very expensive.

We evaluated Akamai. Akamai had a bigger CDN network and probably better performance worldwide (especially on the Chinese mainland) but their WAF is very pure and not effective at all.
