"The dynamic profiling of websites is the solution's most valuable feature. The security is also good."
"The solution has been quite stable. I have not seen any bugs at all."
"Its inline transferring mode is the most valuable because it is 100% transparent. When you change the IP, there is no change on the network side. If you can't and want to try to reach an IP, you can reach the server IP. There are many other advanced security features in it. The smallest appliances of Imperva can handle the highest traffic at a customer site. For example, a smaller appliance from Imperva can provide you the same security as an F5 product."

"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
"It's a complicated tool to keep."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall can improve by adding more features to the dashboard. increasing the visibility of the real-time events, besides configuring the administration itself."
"I don't really use it and therefore can't speak to areas of improvement."
"It would be useful if the solution used more intelligence in attack protection. For example, firewalls are to be dependent on the configuration, but if they could have some data science around it the solution would be even better. The profiling of the traffic, and making decisions surrounding that should be intelligence-based, instead of being based on the configuration of the firewall itself."
"In the past, I have bugs on the WAF. I've contacted Imperva about them. Future releases should be less buggy."
"The UI interface needs improvement."
