Imperva Application Security Platform Reviews

Our primary use case is for protection of all our web applications.

Imperva Web Application Firewall is a very good solution and very feasible for any corporation. We can almost accommodate everything with this solution. We were able to accommodate almost all our use cases with this. This is one of the best solutions I have found so far.

The features I have found most valuable with Imperva Web Application Firewall are account takeover protection, advanced bot protection, and API security.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say reporting on the cloud side.

Additionally, 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.

In the next release I would like to see more API security.

I have been using Imperva Web Application Firewall for almost five years.

We currently use a hybrid version but we are moving towards purely 100% cloud where we will shortly get rid of all the appliances.

Its stability is very good. In all aspects, it is very good. It is beyond my expectations actually.

In terms of scaling, Imperva Web Application Firewall is amazing. The product is really good so far.

We have very few users with direct usage - 10 users approximately.

There is zero maintenance.

Their customer support is very good. They are very quick.

I previously used F5 and something else whose name I don't remember.

We made the switch to Imperva because it is one of the best solutions on the market.

The initial setup is very easy.

It just took a few days.

We used the consultant. Our experience with them was not bad. But as I mentioned, things are not difficult here. It is fairly easy.

My advice to anyone considering Imperva Web Application Firewall is that they can safely go to this environment without having a second thought. I have done so much testing. I did so many use cases. It never failed so far.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Imperva Web Application Firewall a 10.

We use Imperva DDoS for DDoS protection and security.

Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high. I haven't faced any downtime or system instability issues with the solution.

Imperva DDoS does not provide version control. After I make any changes on any portal, I would want to roll back my changes and go back to a stable version if something goes wrong. That particular feature is not there on the UI portal.

They have this roundabout way wherein I can use different tools to integrate, do the versioning, and manage it on my own. It's not directly available, but I can use it indirectly.

I have been using Imperva DDoS for two to three years.

Previously I was in software development for more than 15 years. I had developed web applications for internet and cable TV companies. Now, I am a sales executive for Imperva Cloud WAF. 

Imperva Cloud WAF, previously Imperva Incapsula, is a web application firewall that is implemented in the cloud. It protects a public facing web application. It will track if a hacker is doing brute force attack. The web application firewall will detect it and block the source. This could be an IP address or the main name specific for a country. You can then update the profile of your server to block those IP addresses where the attack is coming from .

We have placed Imperva Cloud in our client's employee self service system that they are logged into. The website is protected by Imperva so that employees and customers can log in all over the Philippines. The client is a power generation company, which is a critical service, and has branches all over the Philippines.

We partner with a couple of on-premise data centers in the Philippines, one is PIM. They also provide cloud solutions. We bundle our solutions into their cloud projects.

Imperva Incapsula has many valuable features. One, it protects the top 10 OWAS vulnerability, the open web application software platform, this is standard. Secondly, it protects against broken authentication. As well, it has remote execution of code.

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 have been using Imperva Cloud WAF for three years.

Imperva is stable. Based on Gartner's survey we are top three, meaning we are reliable based on customer feedback.

This is a scalable solution. We have data centers all over the world. The solution can be set up to be optimized wherever the clients are accessing.

Technical support has good response time. I am also the liaison officer for the technical team in Singapore. Support responds quickly and they do attend to the issues that we raise to them.

The implementation of Imperva Cloud WAF is easy. All you need to do is change the DNS settings, because it is a cloud solution there is no appliance that you need to install at the data center. It just changes the DNS settings, and then a couple of IP address and domain name settings to allow a couple of those IP addresses and domain names settings into the firewall of the client and the firewall of Imperva.

The actual installation will only take a few hours and then full implementation within 24 hours. The initial setup takes time because of the configuration on the client-side. We prepared a questionnaire for the client to assist with preparation.

We created a cross-comparison against hiring a team of cybersecurity staff versus getting a subscription. After using Imperva Cloud for the past three years the cost is already acceptable against hiring a team.

The price depends on the client's needs, it will be impacted depending on whether they need diverse production, or account take over for example.

There is an initial four package bundle with the price changing monthly.

I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.
