We performed a comparison between Imperva DDoS and Radware Alteon 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."Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The setup of Imperva DDoS was easy."
"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."
"Imperva DDoS is fairly stable, and its availability is quite high."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"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."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"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."
"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."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The solution could be more robust."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"Performance could be improved."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
