Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."
"Compute@Edge features are valuable to me."
"Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks."
"Support is good; the product works as advertised. We have a Slack connection with them. So we can basically ask for help, live, engage, and ring when they respond. Very quickly."
"Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"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 solution has a very good interface."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"Gives us the ability to trace each connection, and to have logs to be able to differentiate between a positive and a false-positive intruder action."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Support is not that great."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"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."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"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."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"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."
"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
"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."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
