"Compute@Edge features are valuable to me."
"The product helps our organization to access sites located in different regions quickly."

"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"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."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Support is not that great."
"It is missing a "staging" platform to deploy a test configuration with all of the real settings, which would allow us to properly test before putting it into production."
"Stronger analytics would be helpful, like showing configurations that haven't served a certain amount of traffic in a while. With many properties, things can get lost track of - duplicates or unused configurations not properly decommissioned."
"Fastly's customer service area needs improvement."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The product should provide improved bot detection and management."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."

"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"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."

"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
