We performed a comparison between Imperva DDoS and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"Imperva now offers add-ons to add functionality, but I would like to see these included in the product, even if it would cost more."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"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."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
