"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."

"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."

"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Support is not that great."

"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."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
