We performed a comparison between Imperva DDoS and Kemp LoadMaster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"Technical support was very helpful."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"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."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"The solution has a very good interface."
"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."
"Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features."
"One of the most valuable features I like is the ability to block specific cipher suites like RC4, and older protocols like SSL 3.0."
"The most valuable feature so far has been the high-availability options that allowed us to add an additional Kemp LoadMaster VLM virtual appliance into our VMware vSphere environment, to provide failover for our existing LoadMaster."
"The old process of manually having to redirect Outlook Web Access traffic and Email traffic to a second server is a thing of the past."
"Load-balancing is a great feature that is very easy to configure and it is always working fine."
"With Kemp 360 Central, our customers get a nice overview of their Kemp products and an easy way to upgrade firmware on all devices from a single interface."
"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"Certificate installations could be simplified and modernized, and allowed to be monitored for expirations/issues."
"The product could be improved by making the SSL Offloading easier."
"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."
"Third, the password history restriction needs improvement. For example, the password policy will restrict the user to always use a unique password combination. The password should not be reused for a minimum of three generations of passwords."
"When we go serverless, we may again have to revisit this because the configuration needs to be changed. With this change, we can run into a lot of other configurations that we haven't got into, which involve additional expenses. It would be challenging to convince management to buy at that price point. It would be a balancing act of justifying that expense and the value, that is, how it is going to save a bit of time and make our platform secure. It can have better configuration ability. A lot of iterations happen when we have multiple servers pointing to the same domain. If we do not orchestrate carefully, it gets into a loop, which takes away the precious time of the user who is trying to subscribe to a service. It takes a little longer time to realize services as well as web pages."
"The only thing that I miss is that the TMG server was giving me live information about who is connected and what is the request about."
"I think there should be more visual instructions on how to configure advanced features."
"So far, the only hitch we have run into is that would have been nice to have an easier method to add allow/whitelist entries into the Access Control lists for virtual services."
