Application protection has improved and reporting and dashboards still need refinement
I believe Imperva Application Security Platform should have a more interactive wizard. While the dashboard is good, it could be more eye-catching. Based on my perspective, I recommend modifying the dashboards, especially the main dashboard where I can see the traffic hit count, alerts, and other latest information. In terms of reporting, I find it challenging to create reports; in my earlier days, it was difficult. Over time, I have learned how to create reports, but it should be easier to do so. I have used other tools such as firewalls or SolarWinds, where creating a report is straightforward and does not take much time, unlike in Imperva, where I have to add many elements. Modifications in the integration aspects would also be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"CDN77 has helped improve load speed on the site."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"It is easy to manage and expand."
"Protection is the best solution since it has profile functionality."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"Imperva anti-DDoS protection has the well-known value of having lots of distributed nodes around the world, making it the best value for DDoS protection."
"I see valuable benefits from advanced detection and traffic profiling during DDoS attacks, and I track some metrics related to DDoS protection performance."
"This solution has helped in securing our clients' assets, which is key."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth.​"
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
 

Cons

"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others."
"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
"If they can bring in generative AI features, that would be useful."
"They can provide an option to create a report, automatically import the entire report, and create rules again."
"No major improvements are required, but it should still work on reducing the false positives."
"Pricing is a challenge for most of our customers."
"Sometimes, the SSL setup can be a bit slow/inconsistent."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved."
"The user interface could be better."
"The interface seems a bit outdated and simplistic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others. I suggest a lower recharge level and also to remove the credit expiry time​."
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."
"There are a couple of different licensing models."
"It is not expensive compared to the other similar solutions in this category."
"It is a very expensive solution. The price is very high. A lot of customers tell us that they would love to use Imperva more. I have some customers who have 50 websites, but they have only 10 websites on Imperva because of the price. They would love to have all their websites running through Imperva, but they can't. They have to choose the more critical websites to protect because the price is very high. It is a very good product, but it is too expensive. If you buy a plan for 20 megabytes and you don't consume all of your 20 megabytes, it is okay, but if you consume more, you are charged for the superior traffic."
"The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
"Imperva’s pricing is a bit higher in the market since it offers a full-blown WAF."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
"We sell three-year licenses for Imperva Web Application Firewall to our customers. The price is a little expensive."
