Works without interruption, scales well, and has perfect uptime
Our website works without interruption almost until late at night, as many students have the opportunity to study in the evening. Most of all, we appreciate the stable and fast work of g-core. Uptime is always perfect. With such a volume of data as we have, failures can occur from time to time. The support solves everything in the shortest possible time. I love that the guys are constantly trying to improve the service. Our online school is expanding every year, and there are no problems that our provider can’t solve. They also have the opportunity to negotiate individual conditions for complex sites.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services."
"The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet."
"The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."
"Uptime is always perfect."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"​Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"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's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"DDoS protection and WAF are the most valuable features. It is easy to deploy a service. It is easy and quick to deploy to a new website."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
 

Cons

"There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area."
"I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs."
"Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes."
"It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"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."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"It's quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of G-Core Labs CDN is very reasonable in comparison with other companies. We've done a lot of research into CDN providers, and G-Core offers the best service for the lowest cost."
"Imperva charges us based on bandwidth, which is better than other vendors that charge us according to data transfer."
"The solution's price is high for small companies."
"The cost is somewhere around $10,000 a site. For every site, you pay individually. For every DNS entry, you have you pay."
"The cost is on par with other solutions such as Cloudflare and Akamai."
"​Although the pricing can be a little high, it is worth the protection and security that it offers.​"
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The data packages are higher than our needs so we end up paying for data that we don't use."
