"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."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The integration is great."
"This is a stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."

"For advanced users, it would be really useful to have access and the ability to manipulate packets. If we can access and manipulate the contents of packets, even encrypted packets... that would be powerful. Since we're looking at packets arriving at our network, we would have the private key to access those packets and their information."
"A user interface or dashboard for troubleshooting is needed."
"In terms of performance, it needs to be more robust."
"The memory use in each of the appliances is problematic."
"HA Architecture needs improvement. I would improve it by working on AP HA."

"New releases and old releases have some bugs, some features do not work as good as we want but every new release the Fortinet team fixes up problems."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"Reporting could be improved."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"The GUI is bad."
