Imperva SecureSphere Database Security Stability
Imperva is a solid product. When I was CFO, I experienced downtime once, but in the four years that I have been running Imperva, I have seen zero downtime. The only challenge I had was when the database grew. We had to migrate to V6.50, and it became too heavy for the platform.

No. After using Imperva SecureSphere the first few days, implementing it was second nature.

SecureSphere has been very stable until recently, due to the addition of new source databases causing performance issues.

The stability has been good. In our case, we've been using it through one of our suppliers so we don't directly manage it. It's our supplier who manages it for us. The supplier happens to manage the infrastructure on which the database application or databases are hosted as well.
We don't deal with it but, getting the reports that we have been getting from our supplier, it looks pretty good as far as stability is concerned. We haven't experienced many issues. Even if there were any, it would be our supplier's responsibility to make sure that they got resolved very quickly, so they rarely come to our notice.

The stability is okay. I don't recall any kind of bug or glitch. It doesn't freeze or crash. Aside from issues with WAF, it's good.
View full review »It depends on the load of gateways/MXs. If load is big and there are advanced filtering rules in place, gateways or MX can crash or perform slowly.
View full review »We have encountered some stability issues. There were situations when sometimes the gateway didn’t work as expected. However, thanks to active-passive mode, none of the information was lost.
View full review »No issues encountered.

The stability is average. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of stability. It's not too bad.

Stability is great. Immediately after we deployed it, we had a good feeling about security and performance.
View full review »There were stability issues in v9.5. There are no major stability issues in v10.5.
Stability is dependent on the infrastructure. If you use hypervisor, then you need to make sure to use resources and I/O settings that are optimal for SecureSphere. Otherwise, you will end up with stability and performance issues.
View full review »We had a few minor issues with stability, but it has not impacted our service. We did have an agent cause a reboot of a host server, but this was quickly fixed via an upgrade of the agent.
View full review »I rate the tool’s stability a five or six out of ten. The glitches and errors have recently been quite high because they allow connection to databases without verifying or discovering the database. We have to keep in mind that we must monitor all the time.

The physical appliances are always very stable. In terms of CPU usage, things like the gateway load, payway load, they come with a little bit more capacity on that front. I think the issue always comes with the virtual appliances where you may run out of space, or maybe there are new versions of whichever hypervisor you are running that could change and maybe affect the virtual machines running on top. On the physical side, there's never an issue, it's stable.

The stability is good. Sometimes the gateways disconnect and connect again automatically.
We have a dedicated staff person for maintenance: alert, fine tuning, and adjustments.
View full review »From versions 9.5 and later, the Imperva solution has reached an optimum level of stability. On every unusual state reported, I was always able to relate it to misconfigurations or other hardware limitations and never to major bugs or software problems.
View full review »I have not encountered any stability issues. Only, you need to optimize the data/events you are receiving. If you have too much input, you will have a stability problem (in that case, lower event throughput and increase manager memory).

I think it's a pretty stable product, but there's a lot you need to know about it. It's not like most fast products that you can just log in and get a feel for. You have to really get an understanding of how it was set up and the policies that are in place on it.

View full review »The stability of this solution depends on the version of the operating system, itself. Often, when a new version of the OS comes out, it is not stable by nature. Once the new patch comes out then it is fixed.
