Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."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."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"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."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"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."
"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 would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"It's quite expensive."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"Data encryption. Yeah, Imperva needs to pull up on data encryption and make it a standard feature to allow maybe for tokenization, encryption of data, and things like that."
"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
