"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"IncapRules is one of the most valuable features, as you can create your own security and access control rules on top of your security policy. Using IncapRules we were able to easily block Layer 7 DDoS attacks several times."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really 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."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"Installing this product as a datacenter firewall for segregation and segmentation, and also configuring policies between zones has improved my organization."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"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."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"Analytics in the area of risk need to be improved to supply more information to the users for creating better environments."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"The log analytics interface within Incapsula isn't really good. For example, if you have to get all logs from there, it's a very cumbersome process."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
