We performed a comparison between Azure Front Door and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Rules Engine is a valuable feature."
"I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"The web application firewall is a great feature."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."
"The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable."
"The solution is good."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"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."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"The product needs to improve its latency."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"I'm responsible for the governance and cost control of Azure. I'm not a specialist in any products and therefore I couldn't really speak effectively to features that are lacking or missing."
"My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"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."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"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."
