Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"It fits our requirements, as well as our budget."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"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."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"The integration is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"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."
"Imperva now offers add-ons to add functionality, but I would like to see these included in the product, even if it would cost more."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"Certificate management could be improved."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The agent does not monitor databases in the containers."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
