"Imperva Web Application Firewall is stable."
"One good thing about Imperva Web Application Firewall is it can be on the cloud and also it can be on-premise."
"There are many features. There is ease of deployment. You can deploy the Imperva Web Application Firewall in two to three minutes. After that, you have to set the policies. For setting policies, you have toggle buttons. You can turn something on or off."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."

"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."

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."
"I would like to improve the tool's turnaround time in terms of support."
"Sometimes our web application firewall will slow down."
"The process to upgrade from one version to another can be a lot simpler than it is currently."

"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"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 the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
