We have one person that does the deployment of the Imperva Web Application Firewall.

We sell three-year licenses for Imperva Web Application Firewall to our customers. The price is a little expensive.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Imperva Web Application Firewall an eight out of ten.

I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility.

I have been working with Imperva DDoS for two years now.

Imperva DDoS is scalable.

The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy and we are satisfied with the pricing.

I would rate Imperva DDoS a nine on a scale of one to ten.

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.

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 have an Akamai cloud-based solution for it. We have an in-house customer, and they have their own Akamai cloud for WAF. As a solution provider, we are working with their private Akamai WAF. 

Configuration for different application sources is most valuable. We can segregate the traffic that an application is carrying and identify the sizing in Imperva.

It is quite proficient in terms of logs reports, and it provides tight control for policy configuration. So, there can't be any unwanted applications on the internal LAN site. It is quite restrictive, which is a plus point. The sizing of an application is quite easy to understand while we are configuring and deploying Imperva.

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. 

I have about two to three years of experience with Imperva. I'm working as a GA consultant for cybersecurity and information security. I'm working on different security solutions such as WAF, IAM, DDoS, Azure firewall proxy, and antivirus. I work with different customers, and I also do the architecture review or assessment.

Its stability is quite good. It is not at all an issue. 

It is also quite good performance-wise. We are confident about its performance.

It is for large-scale enterprises where the traffic is huge, and there are many internet-facing applications, which is a plus point of Imperva.

We don't have the HA mode for the respective solution in Imperva, which has to be there when we have the DC and DR locations. We can activate only one solution at DC, but while we are conducting the drills between DC and DR, it is quite difficult to import all the configurations at the DR location in Imperva. It takes time.

Their support is good. It is not an issue. Whenever we have any questions or concerns, we're getting an appropriate solution for our queries. 

Some of the clients have had direct support from Imperva, and some of the clients had a third-party vendor. We also get support from a local Imperva employee. When I was working for a bank, there was good support from this person who was working with Imperva. 

The support for the setup is very good from the provider, but it can be difficult for an engineer to have an in-depth understanding of the configuration of a policy for an application.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We use this product as our Web Application Firewall. It provides web-based protection for us. Our requirements are not very complex.

Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team.

We have been working with Imperva Incapsula for two years.

The stability is okay. We use it extensively, on a daily basis. The firewall operates 24 hours per day.

We have approximately 500 employees that are protected with this product.

We have not had any problems with their technical support.

We did not use another Web Application Firewall before Imperva.

Incapsula is not a difficult product to deploy.

The vendor assisted us with the deployment.

We have an IT support team that is responsible for maintenance.

We have a yearly contract and I am happy with the pricing. Imperva charges us based on bandwidth, which is better than other vendors that charge us according to data transfer. In these cases, our costs are quite high.

Outside of our package, there are no additional fees.

Overall, I am really happy with this solution. This includes the features and capabilities, as well as the cost. It fits our requirements, as well as our budget.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Imperva Web Application Firewall can improve by adding more features to the dashboard. increasing the visibility of the real-time events, besides configuring the administration itself. 

The automatic reporting system is good, but it needs more templates. For example, better made for the management and for system admins, and monitoring teams. This would be great. 

 We want to send any configuration change automatically to the management. However, I think the automatic reporting feature is not enabled on Imperva. We had to instead look at the audit log for the last 24 hours, check and generate the report to send to the management. 

I have been using Imperva Web Application Firewall for approximately three years.

Imperva Web Application Firewall is a highly stable solution and is very mature.

The price of Imperva Web Application Firewalls is expensive compared to others.

We stopped using Imperva Web Application Firewall mostly because at the time we need to upgrade our devices to the latest version. After four years, we didn't pay the license for the solution because we were updating our team solution also. After one year, when we tried to upgrade it, Imperva ask us for the last one-year license renewal and they didn't accept our devices. They wanted us to purchase the new versions for approximately $859, which was too expensive for our budget. The cost with implementation is approximately $2,000,000 because we were expected to deploy eight devices. There were other products that were cheaper and they could meet our mandatory requirements.

If companies want to use Imperva Web Application Firewall they will need to place their bids and they might have a budget for the solution it is a good solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Imperva Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.
