Offers good reporting templates and easy to set it up

Pros

"Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like signatures to identify attacks like cross-site scripting or SQL injection."

Cons

"The signature updates could be faster. Sometimes we have to upload signatures to the Imperva portal for checking and analysis before we can use them."

Product version discussed: 13.6
Hosts a complete range of features and gives a comprehensive overview of network traffic

Pros

"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."

Cons

"They recently separated the WAF and the DAM management gateways in order for each of these to be managed from different areas, so I believe it now requires additional investments for what was previously a single complete solution."

Stops bot attacks completely and has easy deployment

Cons

"The only disadvantage of Imperva is that it is a pretty costly solution."
