Solution ensures website availability and proactive threat mitigation
Over the seven years, the most valuable features of Imperva DDoS that I have found are related to DDoS attacks, which are a group of attacks, and not all of them can be resolved on the endpoint level before the website. Using the web firewall before the website is a common use case to protect against malicious requests to the website. I have utilized Imperva's Intelligent Traffic Filtering feature. This feature helps me understand how the attack is progressing and what is happening inside the requests to our website. It allows me to granularly grant or deny access to certain parts of our website. This helps when we know our customers and the types of requests that can be sent from them, enabling us to block some malicious requests. Imperva DDoS has User Behavior Analytics and Threat Intelligence on its board, and this helps us to be protected proactively. Imperva DDoS connects to its database of threats, storing whole information about attacks all over the world in one simple engine. Everyone can use this feature, which can connect to this engine and get information about what is going on at the world level. That is the way to be protected at the company's level. The integration capabilities of Imperva DDoS are very easy and simple. We can run it in 2 hours.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has helped improve load speed on the site."
"I selected CDN77 because it has servers where our different target markets are (some are in Asia)."
"It has improved our organization by providing quick access to resources."
"It is extremely easy to set up and integrate with WordPress and purge files as needed through the control panel."
"​Purge pages: It is a fast solution for updating my content from all datacenters."
"The control panel is nicely laid out and I do not have to hunt for functionality."
"Very intuitive and granular configuration - It does not require much time, or advanced knowledge, for configuration and maintenance."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"Configuration for different application sources is most valuable. We can segregate the traffic that an application is carrying and identify the sizing in Imperva."
"The solution is scalable."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"Imperva is a Gartner leader, so its scalability, performance, and features are excellent."
 

Cons

"If you are a low-use user and not used the minimum credit, it will be lost at end of year unless you upgrade, then you are left with more bandwidth than you can ever use."
"A year ago, I had to deal with SEO factors involving duplication of content."
"There is nothing specific where the application firewall is falling short."
"I would like the solution to improve its support response time."
"It's quite expensive."
"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."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"The tool's UI is complicated. It would be best to have a more accessible UI dashboard to make the job easier."
"Sometimes, support tickets don't get addressed quickly."
"The Imperva Web Application Firewall automations are good, but there is still room for improvement with them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding the pricing, it is expensive. It may not suit others. I suggest a lower recharge level and also to remove the credit expiry time​."
"I would suggest low usage cases that there are other options available, such as WordPress's own CDN."
"For low-use users, it can be more expensive than it seems. It would be a disadvantage for a lot of hobby users."
"The data packages are higher than our needs so we end up paying for data that we don't use."
"There is a license for this solution and we purchase the license annually with no additional fees."
"There are a couple of different licensing models."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high compared to competitors."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall price is higher compared to other solutions. However, everything is included in the price."
"There are some licenses that you have to buy to use some features. Its price could be better. Price is always important because, at the end of the day, customers have a budget. If you can meet the budget, you can sell, and if you don't, you cannot sell."
"Make sure you understand the way that Imperva charges. It's very affordable. However, I would like to see a package with the Virtual Patching included. You get to do patching separately."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
