We performed a comparison between Imperva DDoS and Radware Bot Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"IncapRules is one of the most valuable features, as you can create your own security and access control rules on top of your security policy. Using IncapRules we were able to easily block Layer 7 DDoS attacks several times."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"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."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"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."
"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."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"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 good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
