Pros
"I have had a positive experience with Imperva Web Application Firewall's tech support so far.

Therefore, with one license, you access both application security and also API security.""The tool's profiling feature maps all the web application directories and related components on the profile directory. It has improved the security of my client's website applications.""The most important feature I have found to be the ease in how to do the backup and restores.""The configurability of the tools and the ease of operation to be the most valuable feature of Imperva."

Cons
"The solution works for particular zones but isn't always the best solution for all zones.""I think that better bot protection is needed in this solution.""The UI interface needs improvement.""It would be useful if the solution used more intelligence in attack protection. For example, firewalls are to be dependent on the configuration, but if they could have some data science around it the solution would be even better. The profiling of the traffic, and making decisions surrounding that should be intelligence-based, instead of being based on the configuration of the firewall itself.""It is complicated to integrate the solution's on-cloud version with other platforms.""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.""It should be more user-friendly. Like other web solutions, it would be helpful to be able to easily do policy configuration and identification inside the application. Understanding the in-depth configuration of a policy is somewhat difficult for an engineer, and they can improve that.""The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The cost of this solution depends on the platform."
  • "The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc. 
    Top Answer:You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperva… more »
