Hybrid Cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

My main use case for Imperva Application Security Platform is protecting public-facing websites, and I primarily used Imperva for the web application firewall, which was the principal use case for us.

I recall a time when Imperva's Web Application Firewall helped us detect threats and protect against specific attacks. We used it in a large banking group to avoid and detect threats and protect against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in web application security. This helped us significantly in detecting those vulnerabilities while using custom rules in WAF, making it a very effective use case for our web applications.

In addition to that, we were using Imperva WAF for bot detection and DDoS attacks. We tweaked the firewall rules and added rate-limiting rules to help manage DDoS attacks to a certain level.

What I found most effective about Imperva's WAF is that it has predefined rules covering many use cases, including compliance rules for PCI DSS and local country compliance. The customized rules based on application threats proved to be very useful, along with a good dashboard that, although somewhat complicated for beginners, becomes easy to manage at an expert level with good API integration and effective threat intelligence to detect threats.

After discussing the WAF, I believe Imperva has made significant advancements in its Cloud WAF offerings, which can now effectively protect against bot and DDoS attacks. This showcases a good advantage of being part of the Thales cybersecurity group while expanding its product range in the Cloud WAF space.

Imperva Application Security Platform has positively impacted my organization by providing strong protection for web applications, as many big companies in the UK use Imperva WAF as an essential protection layer, illustrating its effectiveness.

To improve Imperva Application Security Platform, there is a necessity for enhancement in the threat layer, especially regarding DDoS protection and geographical DDoS attacks. Additionally, there is a need for more API integration within the environment, indicating room for improvement in those areas.

I rate this product eight out of ten because I believe there can still be improvements for the WAF, especially in terms of custom rules. I suggest that more rules could be added to the system instead of relying on SMEs for customization. The hardware being more expensive compared to other vendors poses a challenge, along with a need for improvement in the cloud WAF offerings.

I have been using Imperva Application Security Platform for nearly five to six years. I first used it in a large banking group before I joined my current company, where I used both the Imperva on-premise devices and Imperva Cloud.

In my experience, Imperva Application Security Platform is stable.

Regarding scalability, it is good in the cloud but not very strong for on-premise installations.

The customer support from Imperva has been great, with a single point of contact who catered to our company's needs effectively.

We did not use a different solution before adopting Imperva Application Security Platform.

We purchased Imperva Application Security Platform through a partner.

Although it is difficult to quantify the return on investment in monetary terms given that we cannot translate threats into monetary values, the use of Imperva was driven by compliance reasons and resulted in fewer incidents.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has shown that the setup cost was high, with the hardware installation in the data center being particularly expensive. Additionally, the cost associated with the appliances used to load balance application traffic resulted in expensive licensing and a need for frequent license rotation. Configuring both hardware and software has also proven to be time-consuming and costly.

Before choosing Imperva Application Security Platform, we evaluated F5 as a WAF solution and also considered Cloudflare.

Although it is difficult to measure the success in commercial or monetary terms, we found that we could manage more threats within the environment, with Imperva flagging threats coming from the internet, resulting in few incidents. This illustrates how Imperva helped us.

I would highly recommend others to consider using Imperva Application Security Platform, and I rate this product eight out of ten.
