We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiWeb and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is Fail-Open."
"Built-in security templates, AV integrated, strong threat intelligence."
"The support services, performance, and pricing are all valuable features. The performance is excellent."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Fortinet is a great SD-WAN player when it comes to security capabilities."
"The anti-defacement feature is very useful because it looks for web changes over time to protect pages."
"All the features that FortiGate contains are very suitable for our business. We work with other products in Fortinet, FortiWeb, FortiSandbox, FortiMail, and FortiCache. We use all UTM features like self-encryption, encryption, all UTM features."
"FortiWeb's ease of deployment is what we liked the most about it. Implementing FortiWeb was extremely fast and easy, which was a significant advantage. It comes with several preconfigured rule sets and templates."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"Gives us the ability to trace each connection, and to have logs to be able to differentiate between a positive and a false-positive intruder action."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"The solution has a very good interface."
"They could improve their support a little bit for faster response time."
"FortiWeb does not exist in a cloud-based form. Its only available for deployment as a virtual appliance on AWS and Azure IaaS platforms. Because of the trend to WAF environments, it would be good to have it as a SaaS. Also, FortiWeb would be more competitive if it combined WAF and DDoS protection."
"When we look at the incident reports in the dashboard, they are available for a maximum duration of 24 hours. They should provide more time for the analysis and increase the duration of the availability of these reports. Currently, it gives the options for 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours. It would be excellent if there are more options for a longer time period. It may be configurable, but I don't know how to do it."
"It can be better with web application firewalls."
"We want to see more detailed logging, such as audit logging, as this would significantly enhance the solution's reporting. We currently get some information from logs, but more would be better."
"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."
"A user interface or dashboard for troubleshooting is needed."
"I had some small problems when I was upgrading firmware. After the upgrade, some of my certificates were deleted."
"It's quite expensive."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"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."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"We would like them to hire people in Sweden because it's quite hard when people are sitting in the UK or Belgium because some of the customers really want them to be local."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
