"The customized billing is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability because it automatically scales up or scales down as per our requirements."
"The stability of AWS WAF is valuable."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"IncapRules is one of the most valuable features, as you can create your own security and access control rules on top of your security policy. Using IncapRules we were able to easily block Layer 7 DDoS attacks several times."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is easy to configure."
"We must monitor and clean up the WAF manually."
"They have to do more to improve, to innovate more features. They need to increase the security. It has to be more active in detecting threats."
"For uniformity, AWS has a well-accepted framework. However, it'll be better for us if we could have some more documented guidelines on how the specific business should be structured and the roles that the cloud recommends."
"The solution should identify why it blocks particular websites."
"An improvement area would be that it's more of a manual effort when you have to enable rules. That's one of the downsides. If that can be done in an automated way, it would be great. That's a lagging feature currently."
"AWS WAF would be better if it uses AI or machine learning to detect a potential attack or a potential IP that creates an attack even before it happens. I want AWS WAF to capture the IP and automatically write the rule to automate the entire process."
"The product should improve the DDoS-related features."
"The solution could be more reliable."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"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."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"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."
