We performed a comparison between A10 Thunder TPS and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use."
"The response time to an attack is instant. We've used some outsourced solutions in the past, out in the cloud, that weren't so quick. But it's all within our control now. We control how fast it mitigates."
"The primary benefit that we see from their systems is that their filtering technology has the ability to detect and drop the malicious traffic from the legitimate traffic with a high success rate. That, in combination with the very small effort needed to manage their systems, are the two most important benefits to us."
"The most valuable feature of A10 Thunder TPS is load balancing."
"The GUI is very use-friendly. You can configure it through CLI or GUI, they give you an option to choose. It's a good solution in terms of the appliance itself. It's very light compared to other brands that offer DDoS solutions."
"We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things."
"Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond."
"The solution's support is one of the coolest things about the product. I"
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"It is very difficult to implement. It should be made a bit easier to implement. There is also a lack of resources on the internet. They need to develop more resources."
"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability."
"We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement."
"Its documentation could be better."
"I would like for them to develop an advanced reporting feature."
"The last issue we had to contact them about was just a question of a false-positive. The A10 system wasn't supposed to decide what is a false-positive. So if we send it good traffic, it's supposed to just pass that good traffic through. But we opened this last ticket because the A10 did block some of the good traffic. Their support had to tweak it a little bit, but it wasn't anything that took a long time."
"If there's one aspect of A10 that needs improvement it would be the training. All of their training is done online, at least in what we've been exposed to. I would like to have a classroom environment for training... It would give [people] a chance to provision it."
"They have a cloud scrubbing feature that redirects the traffic if the on-prem appliance can't accommodate a large amount of traffic but it's not available where we are."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"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."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"It's quite expensive."
