We performed a comparison between Imperva DDoS and Radware Cloud WAF Service 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 complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service has several valuable features, with good support and a user-friendly GUI."
"The isolation feature is the most important one because everything is going directly to Radware first and then it goes into our system. What we get is the filtered version of everything that would otherwise come directly to us."
"I particularly appreciate the low administrative burden of this solution, as well as the excellent monitoring tools."
"The API Discovery is also very good because the application is outsourced, which means that we don't have the code. API Discovery allowed me to discover precisely how to orchestrate the API so that I could see the results."
"With the current visibility dashboard, we can now obtain insight into the nature of attacks, identify attackers, and detect top IP or threat regions."
"What makes this a comprehensive offering from Radware is that it combines WAF, ADA, bot management, and API protection, which is not currently available from any other provider in the market."
"DDoS protection is a valuable feature that works efficiently."
"Geo-blocking is one of the most valuable features we use the most; most of our users are in North, Central, and South America, so we use geo-blocking to block access from other countries."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"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."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"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."
"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."
"We've had some issues with putting certificates in."
"We receive many reports from our security team of IPs flagged by our security tools, such as Palo Alto. I cannot add the file containing the IPs to get them blocked; instead, I have to contact Radware support and open a ticket for them to do it. I need to be able to block flagged IPs myself, as it currently takes more time to open a ticket, contact the support team, and wait four to six hours for a response. I want to be able to upload a file with 2,000-3,000 IPs in the console and then apply and save the configuration."
"The primary area for improvement is in issue detection and understanding whether a log is a false positive. It can sometimes be a challenge to take the data of a given security event and determine if it's a genuine threat using a Wiki etc."
"The implementation was hit or miss for the first few months. They did some tweaking and, since then, there have been no problems."
"Our only complaint is the reporting on the DDoS side. We also use Radware for on-premises DDoS protection and their Vision product. I just want to give paint you an example. We face so many Layer 3 and Layer 4 DDoS attacks on Cloud WAF. The reporting on those types of attacks can be improved."
"The integration part could be better."
"If we want to publish services to a limited number of providers and we only want those providers to connect, we need to forward those requests to the Radware support team and they apply them, but it takes some time."
"Radware Cloud WAF Service should provide SSL certificates for its hosting customers."
