We performed a comparison between Imperva Web Application Firewall and Radware Bot Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Imperva WAF's strongest features are the detection of web application threats and vulnerabilities in the source code."
"It mitigates all of the availabilities of risks around web applications."
"Very scalable and very stable firewall for web applications, with a good interface in its cloud version. Mitigation is its most valuable feature. The technical support for this product is also good."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is a highly stable solution and is very mature."
"The WAF itself has been very valuable to me because it has such a complete range of features. Another reason why I like it is because it also takes care of the total overview of the traffic over the network."
"The most valuable features of Imperva Web Application Firewall are the monitoring of databases and the dashboards are easy to understand."
"There are some features that are configured by default, so even without doing much, it can still provide a level of protection."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"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."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"I don't really use it and therefore can't speak to areas of improvement."
"There's always room for improvement. Occasionally, there might be false-positive alerts."
"It would be nice to have more security control over mobile applications so I would suggest adding more mobile security features. It would also be beneficial to see improvements in regards to interface bandwidth performance, CPU time, and RAM size. Learning capability of the device is quite weak."
"The initial setup could be simplified. Every time you have to install the solution you have to get in touch with support or somebody that can to do that for you."
"The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."
"It would be helpful to have a "recommended deployment", or even a list of basic features that should either be used or turned on by default."
"Sometimes, support tickets don't get addressed quickly."
"I am looking for more data enrichment. We should have the ability to add our own custom data to the system, to the live traffic."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
