"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."

"It's very easy to deploy."
"We were looking for a product that is capable of complete automation and a container based solution. It's working."
"The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is the reverse proxy."
"I tested specific features and evaluated the solution against the Web Application Firewall. I conducted research to test different detection percentages. I did not use it directly for protection but for evaluation purposes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the OWASP certification. Additionally, the tool's ability to enforce strong passwords and OTP within minutes is impressive. With its analytics and recommendations, it is a very good solution."
"NGINX App Protect has complete control over the HTTP session."
"It has the best documentation features."
"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 would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
"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."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"As far as scalability, it takes a long time for deployment."
"It's challenging if you need to go for a high throughput."
"NGINX App Protect could improve security."
"The dashboard could provide a more comprehensive view of the status of the connections."
"The configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary."
"Currently, the policies have to be handled manually, and you have to create from scratch, which can be a bit time-consuming, in a large environment."
"The price of NGINX App Protect could improve."
"They could provide a better user interface."
