Offers good reporting templates and easy to set it up
I handled web application and database monitoring, including some DDoS work. I implemented Imperva for a top-five bank in Indonesia, monitoring their service and database activity Firstly, Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like…

Active threat detection and adaptive rules are the most valuable for us.
I would say that the active threat detection feature and adaptive rules are the most valuable for us. With active threat detection, we are no longer over-swamped with tons of useless events. As all the payloads from malicious requests are analysed with a cloud scanner, we don’t need to do this…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Very intuitive and granular configuration - It does not require much time, or advanced knowledge, for configuration and maintenance."
"Its inline transferring mode is the most valuable because it is 100% transparent. When you change the IP, there is no change on the network side. If you can't and want to try to reach an IP, you can reach the server IP. There are many other advanced security features in it. The smallest appliances of Imperva can handle the highest traffic at a customer site. For example, a smaller appliance from Imperva can provide you the same security as an F5 product."
"The most important feature I have found to be the ease in how to do the backup and restores."
"Compared to other web application firewalls in the market, Imperva does things in the most accurate way."
"The WAF itself has been very valuable to me because it has such a complete range of features. Another reason why I like it is because it also takes care of the total overview of the traffic over the network."
"There are a number of features that are valuable such as the account takeover and various antivirus features."
"I am impressed with the product's scalability, availability, easy management, and security. We were able to integrate the product with Azure and Sentinel."
"It has fewer false positives"
"Helps us to monitor situation in regards to attacks to our sites and prevents a lot of them."
 

Cons

"I think that better bot protection is needed in this solution."
"One potential improvement for Imperva is enhancing its alert system."
"The only disadvantage of Imperva is that it is a pretty costly solution."
"Sometimes, support tickets don't get addressed quickly."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall can improve by providing better features, such as improved prevention of zero-day attacks. Additionally, it should include a VR meta-analysis."
"I'd like the option to pick your bot protection."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"It would be useful if the solution used more intelligence in attack protection. For example, firewalls are to be dependent on the configuration, but if they could have some data science around it the solution would be even better. The profiling of the traffic, and making decisions surrounding that should be intelligence-based, instead of being based on the configuration of the firewall itself."
"The biggest problem for us was the stability and speed using the first version of Wallarm. Now, it is fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everybody complains about the price of this solution."
"The price is high compared to other solutions like FortiWeb."
"We sell three-year licenses for Imperva Web Application Firewall to our customers. The price is a little expensive."
"Imperva’s pricing is a bit higher in the market since it offers a full-blown WAF."
"Make sure you understand the way that Imperva charges. It's very affordable. However, I would like to see a package with the Virtual Patching included. You get to do patching separately."
"It is very costly, but the return on investment is very high. Its cost was around $70,000, and we got it back in just six months."
"It is a very affordable solution."
"The price of Imperva Web Application Firewalls is expensive compared to others."
"​Pricing must be cheaper than the competition and the licensing must be good.​"

Questions from the Community

Is Citrix ADC (formerly Netscaler) the best ADC to use and if not why?
For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc.
DDoS solutions: Any other solutions to consider aside from Radware DefensePro and F5 Silverline DDoS Protection?
You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperv...
