Offers good reporting templates and easy to set it up

I handled web application and database monitoring, including some DDoS work. I implemented Imperva for a top-five bank in Indonesia, monitoring their service and database activity Firstly, Imperva monitors all traffic, even customer access, to the web application. Then, Imperva uses features like…

Offers flexibility with a kill switch for bypassing Reblaze if needed and provides a reliable Layer 7 defense against attacks

There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town. AWS WAF, the Web Application Firewall from AWS, has a vast database of bad IP addresses due to its long-standing presence in this business. Reblaze, being a new entrant, is still building its database of bad IP addresses and malicious systems. So, Reblaze needs to work on that aspect. But other than that, I don't think scaling Reblaze has been an issue. There were some initial glitches, but they were all sorted out. So currently, I would say that the bot management and the database are areas they should focus on for further improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Imperva, in addition to its strong knowledge base, is its effective protection for web applications."

"The configurability of the tools and the ease of operation to be the most valuable feature of Imperva."

"The solution is stable."

"Compared to other web application firewalls in the market, Imperva does things in the most accurate way."

"The compliance is the most valuable aspect."

"Its inline transferring mode is the most valuable because it is 100% transparent. When you change the IP, there is no change on the network side. If you can't and want to try to reach an IP, you can reach the server IP. There are many other advanced security features in it. The smallest appliances of Imperva can handle the highest traffic at a customer site. For example, a smaller appliance from Imperva can provide you the same security as an F5 product."

"Imperva is a Gartner leader, so its scalability, performance, and features are excellent."

"The most important feature I have found to be the ease in how to do the backup and restores."

More Imperva Web Application Firewall pros

"Provides mobile app security."

"The feature I find most valuable is the user-friendly dashboard. It is easy to understand how everything works and it allows you to make decisions quickly and efficiently."

"Reblaze knows how to manage security. For me as, someone who knows little about security, it's good that I have a firm that optimizes everything according to their standards. It's their responsibility and they are fully hands-on."

"The best thing about Reblaze, for us, is that it has been a game changer because previously, we were using Google's Web Application Firewall, but it wasn't up to the mark."

"The main feature is using the rules and being able to see the traffic. It helps us find malicious traffic."

"It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease."

"The real-time monitoring and reporting are very good. There are information updates in their portal every two minutes. They also have the ability to spill it into Sumo Logic, for example. It's very easy to use."

"I very much like the elastic search and reports, allowing us to have a 360-degree view of the customer's activities and enabling us to track down any suspicious bots."

More Reblaze pros

Cons

"They can provide an option to create reports, automatically import the entire report, and create rules again. In a real-life crisis, it would be helpful to be able to import a report and generate security rules from that report. I should be able to create a simple query and import the reports automatically. It can maybe also tell us the format of the report."

"The tool's UI is complicated. It would be best to have a more accessible UI dashboard to make the job easier."

"I loved the approach of the cloud. The cloud has a lot of new features, like advanced web protection and DDoS protection. If those could also be on-boarded onto the on-prem versions, that would be ideal. They need to pay attention to both deployment options and not just favor one."

"In the past, I have bugs on the WAF. I've contacted Imperva about them. Future releases should be less buggy."

"The tool needs to improve CPU and storage memory."

"It would be nice to have more security control over mobile applications so I would suggest adding more mobile security features. It would also be beneficial to see improvements in regards to interface bandwidth performance, CPU time, and RAM size. Learning capability of the device is quite weak."

"Their portal is very limited and needs improvement."

"The reporting is missing some features, such as: only two export formats, and the time period does not include the last day, week, year."

More Imperva Web Application Firewall cons

"I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."

"There is room for improvement in helping us understanding session management... We want Reblaze to catch and identify everything. We want to see the various devices doing one activity and to see, in a timeline, what's happened. We would like to see a more human-readable display to understand what's happening in the web app."

"The next release should have next-generation automation."

"We have multiple products behind different instances of Reblaze. We have one instance for staging and then we have a production instance for multiple products. One of the things that we have requested is a unified view panel, so that we can see each of the instances in a unified view. That way, we won't have to go bouncing from instance to instance."

"Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients."

"It would be beneficial if it had a workflow or a feature that could fine-tune settings based on high-level requirements."

"They have an interface that you have to adjust to. That is a bit of a downfall because I expect an interface to be very intuitive for someone who knows little about security. But if you know about security, the interface is wonderful."

"Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."

"There are a couple of different licensing models."

"Imperva Web Application Firewall's pricing is expensive."

"The pricing is somewhat expensive. It is actually a huge investment when compared to other countries."

"Make sure you understand the way that Imperva charges. It's very affordable. However, I would like to see a package with the Virtual Patching included. You get to do patching separately."

"We sell three-year licenses for Imperva Web Application Firewall to our customers. The price is a little expensive."

"The price is high compared to other solutions like FortiWeb."

"Imperva Web Application Firewall is expensive."

More Imperva Web Application Firewall pricing and cost advice

"On a monthly basis we pay $750."

"I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."

"We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."

"There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."

Questions from the Community

Which is the best DDoS protection solution for a big ISP for monitoring and mitigating?

My recommendation is Imperva.

Is Citrix ADC (formerly Netscaler) the best ADC to use and if not why?

For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc.

DDoS solutions: Any other solutions to consider aside from Radware DefensePro and F5 Silverline DDoS Protection?

You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperv...

It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Reblaze?
