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.

Very secure with an easy initial setup and pretty stable
We are using the latest version of the solution. We sell this solution for financial systems. We're Oracle partners and service providers. We'll present this solution to our clients and give them a benefit analysis of the product so they can see the reasons why they need the solution or why it might help them. I'd rate this solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability has been pretty good, our European traffic has doubled and our sales have gone up along with our stability."
"Our ROI is about 45% since deployment on reduction of our cloud bill."
"It is easy to manage and expand."
"There is no need to have an in-house WAF to manage and maintain; we are now able to bring a new website live within minutes, without false positive alerts, and it has improved user/customer experience and website performance."
"Imperva is really amazing, feature wise and performance wise."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"Bad-IP blocking and signature-based blocking for web application security."
"We were so impressed with the effectiveness of the solution and the assistance that we received from support that we subscribed to their service in an ongoing basis, which has proven to be reliable and simple to use."
"Oracle security is excellent for our banking organizations in terms of the security offered."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be helpful to have a "recommended deployment", or even a list of basic features that should either be used or turned on by default."
"If they can bring in generative AI features, that would be useful."
"Latency concerns customers, especially in regions like East and West Africa, where traffic has to travel to South Africa before returning."
"In the past, I have bugs on the WAF. I've contacted Imperva about them. Future releases should be less buggy."
"One thing that they really could improve on is the depth of the analytics."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"Technical support could be improved overall."
"The solution should have a Data Mask for the next release. It would be helpful for banking institutions as they would be able to hide the server number of the ATM machine in the CPU."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing can range from one to twenty thousand dollars annually. Additionally, some features, including software support, require an annual subscription as well."
"The cost is somewhere around $10,000 a site. For every site, you pay individually. For every DNS entry, you have you pay."
"The price of Imperva Web Application Firewalls is expensive compared to others."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall price is higher compared to other solutions. However, everything is included in the price."
"The solution's pricing is an issue."
"It is a very affordable solution."
"The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
