Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"The fact that it just delivers what it is supposed to do is its most valuable feature...The initial setup is very straightforward."
"One of the most valuable aspects is the capability to store extensive datasets and objects in the cloud, enabling their download through shared access signatures."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can access Windows Azure CDN from anywhere."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the tool's best features is its ability to handle edge cases. For instance, we encountered a situation where we needed to remove certain files from public access. The solution offered a purge feature that allowed us to remove these files. This feature ensured that the files were deleted from all edge servers. Subsequently, we were able to upload new versions of the files."
"The most valuable feature of Windows Azure CDN is its effectiveness."
"I enjoy engaging in discussions with colleagues possessing unique expertise. I leverage the three platforms—Azure, Google, and AWS extensively. This allows me to offer diverse solutions to customers, commonly referred to as a multi-cloud approach."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"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."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"They should include configuration for cache rules."
"We have experienced issues with switch connectivity."
"I aim to enhance the reporting."
"I believe Windows Azure CDN can improve monitoring and measuring overall end-user performance. Providing monitoring tools or agents that can be integrated into our pages would be highly beneficial. Setting up a custom domain with Windows Azure CDN involves proving domain ownership, which can take some time. The process is relatively straightforward if your DNS or domain registrar is already integrated with Microsoft. However, the verification process may be more time-consuming if you use a different service provider."
"There were a few bugs that were very disappointing. So, that is a part of the reason why we started using Fastly."
"The high price of Windows Azure CDN is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The response time of the support team must be improved."
