Find out in this report how the two CDN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If you're using AWS entirely, it's smooth sailing."
"The solution has good security features."
"It is an expensive product with valuable features."

"The speed and usability of the solution are valuable."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"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."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"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."
"On the activity log, I can see the exact details, the visit, and the threat."
"The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application."
"Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters."
"The support must be improved."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I have utilized certain characteristics and invested effort in reading the documentation, which proved to be challenging."
"The solution could be more simplified for new users. It could be more user-friendly."
"The UI could be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"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 beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"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."
"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."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
