Imperva Application Security Platform Reviews

The tool helps us to meet security requirements. 

I am impressed with the product's scalability, availability, easy management, and security. We were able to integrate the product with Azure and Sentinel. 

I would like the solution to improve its support response time. 

I am working on the solution for two to three years. 

I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. We have more than eight to nine sites that are covered by the tool. 

The solution's deployment gets completed in less than 15 minutes. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. I discussed with the security teams and they consider the tool a state-of-the-art product. 

It is complicated to integrate the solution's on-cloud version with other platforms. 

I have been using the solution for six years.

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable. We have 20 applications hosted on its on-premises version and around five applications on mobile infrastructure. A team of three administrators manages the operations.

The solution's technical support is good.

Positive

I have used F5 and Barracuda before. Both solutions are easy to use.

The solution's initial setup is easy and takes two or three days to complete.

We implemented the solution with the help of its reseller.

The solution is stable and easy to manage. I rate it a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to detect and block application attacks on the internet perimeter. We integrate the solution with SOAR and Phantom to automate our playbook and block URLs.

The solution reduces the risk of attacks and that benefits our clients. 

The solution integrates seamlessly with other tools and has a good alert mechanism. 

The solution provides good protection against OWASP top-ten attacks.

The solution works for particular zones but isn't always the best solution for all zones. 

The solution's pricing could be improved. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

We implemented the SA solution and have not tried to scale it beyond our client's 10,000 users. 

I do not have experience with escalating issues because our internal support team handles vendor support. 

We have not switched solutions but prefer this solution for on-premises. When we need a tool that is cloud-based, we prefer other solutions. 

The initial setup was not complex and integration was easy. 

The solution was implemented by the supplier. 

The solution's pricing is an issue. 

We use many tools for the application layer including Imperva, Infoblox Secure DNS, and Palo Alto. 

The solution is a leader in the market and is easy to use.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Imperva Incapsula is used for web applications. 

Our customers required the security of their web applications. We were asked to install this solution for their web solutions based on their throughputs and requirements.

We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection.

When using protection for some web applications, the customer may encounter a few issues.

I have been working with Imperva Incapsula for several months.

We have deployed the cloud version, and we use the on-premise version for testing.

Imperva Incapsula is a stable solution.

Imperva Incapsula is scalable.

We have two or three users in our company.

In order to increase our usage, We must publicize the fact that we have such a solution. I believe we had to use LinkedIn or some other solution to publish it. We need to inform our customers that we have a solution like this.

Technical support was very helpful.

The initial setup is not overly complex, but it could be easier.

There is a license or subscription renewal that our customers pay.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Imperva Incapsula an eight out of ten.

We use it for protection. For example, for one of our banking clients, we use it to protect their mobile and website applications.

Imperva is really amazing, feature wise and performance wise.

Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay.

The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution.

We have been a partner for Imperva Incapsula for two years.

It's stable.

It's a scalable solution.

Technical support is provided by a distributor, and sometimes, there's a delay.

I would rate the technical support at four on a scale from one to ten.

Neutral

The initial setup is easy because it's a plugin; it's an appliance. That means that there is a predefined setting.

Even with the professional service, it does not take a long time. It takes a few days, and everything is done.

For the professional service, usually one person from the distributor is required for deployment.

We have an issue with Imperva Incapsula in the Iraqi market because of the high price.

If you are looking for efficiency and the best technology, you should use Imperva. If you have a limited budget, however, then this is not a suitable solution for you.

I would rate Imperva Incapsula at eight on a scale from one to ten.

The mitigation feature is what I find most valuable in Imperva Web Application Firewall. The interface of the cloud version of this solution is also good.

Every product has a room for improvement, and in Imperva Web Application Firewall, we found a limitation when we need to check which email IP traffic is coming from, e.g. we cannot find it.

Imperva Web Application Firewall is a good system, but we found that the visibility of the diverse-path server, e.g. where the traffic is coming from, the different IPs, etc., needs improvement. If we can populate those information, we can block them in our firewalls, and that would make this solution better.

Though the cloud interface of Imperva Web Application Firewall is good, the interface of the on-premises version is not as appealing, and it's what I'd like to see improved in the next release of this solution.

Imperva Web Application Firewall is a very stable solution.

The cloud version of Imperva Web Application Firewall is very scalable.

Technical support for this solution is good.

It's very easy to set up the cloud version of Imperva Web Application Firewall. It's not difficult, because you just need to map your DNS, and that's it. Setting up this solution is not a problem.

I'm working as a cyber security consultant and I provide Imperva Web Application Firewall and other similar solutions to customers.

We are working in the Middle East, e.g. we are deploying solutions to different organizations.

I don't have any input on the pricing for Imperva Web Application Firewall, as that part is covered by the research team.

I don't have advice for people looking into implementing this solution, except that everyone has different opinions and different requirements. Every organization has different requirements, and their choices will be based on their requirements. If all their requirements are fulfilled by Imperva Web Application Firewall, then they'll want to implement or use it.

I've giving Imperva Web Application Firewall a score of seven out of ten.

We are an implementer for clients within the financial services looking to protect their internet, mobile devices, etc.

There are a number of features that are valuable such as the account takeover and various antivirus features.

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.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The solution is stable and has strong performance.

The solution is scalable and is currently being met with high demand on the clients side.

Support response time to a given problem could be much faster. This may be due to time zone limitations as well as the amount of time it takes the representative to understand the scope of the issue.

Initial installation requires a lot of customizations that depend on the environment and use case of the client. For clients looking to maximize all policies, settings, and features provided, their setup could take up to one year.

Two engineers are required for deployment.

Licensing can range from one to twenty thousand dollars annually. Additionally, some features, including software support, require an annual subscription as well.

This is a good WAF solution that I would rate a nine out of ten.

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.
