"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"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."
"We chose this solution in the first place because it has access to Layer 7. I can control the requests and the content, which I can access on my network if I want to even if it's forbidden access to other external resources. If I want to monitor, for example, traffic, and apply this rule on Layer 7, I can do so. This was our main goal when implementing this application. We wanted to take advantage of the Gateway capabilities."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"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."
"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 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."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure. Mapping the certificates into it isn't easy, and it could be better. Currently, you've to write a bit of automation to pull certificates directly to HTTPS."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
