Find out what your peers are saying about Akamai, F5, Radware and others in Bot Management."The stability of the product is good since I haven't had any problems with the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's automatic bot mechanism. It also gives us the control to create our own custom bot rules."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"The integration is great."
"The tool needs to include artificial intelligence and machine learning. It also needs to improve profiling."
"Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the technical staff of the solution to get back to our company with a resolution for our problems."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
