It helped us investigate and narrow down possible attacks from suspicious IPs.
Valuable Features:
- It provides real-time traffic analysis.
- It gives location/hit/page view details.
- It can easily and instantly block IPs.
- We can investigate questionable and suspicious IPs.
Improvements to My Organization:
We're able to better manage network traffic with its analysis and security tools.
It also helped us investigate and narrow down possible attacks from thousands of hits from suspicious IPs. In so doing, it also noted the presence of background scripts.
It's helped us find vulnerabilities in our organization.
Room for Improvement:
- Its firewall should be made less penetrable so that if an IP is blocked once, it doesn't penetrate again.
- The IP analytics should show trends and potential problem areas so that We can take action to minimize the occurrence of more hits from malicious IPs.
- The process of reporting, analysis, and clearance could be improved.

The Web Application Firewall is helpful in protecting SQL injections.
Valuable Features:
The Web Application Firewall (WAF) is very helpful in protecting SQL injections by hackers.
Improvements to My Organization:
We implemented the WAF feature of Incapsula in our application which was exposed to the public.
This implementation helped our organization a lot in handling web attacks by hackers and other malicious intruders.
Room for Improvement:
There is nothing as of now that I could suggest.
Deployment Issues:
We faced a bit of difficulty during setup, but the issue was resolved easily.
Cost and Licensing Advice:
I don't know because licensing is handled by PIR infrastructure and software team.
We have just been provided a license to use the product.
Other Advice:
You can safely implement it irrespective of your application usage size.

With the WAF, our web services can't be exploited remotely.
What is most valuable?
- DDoS protection
- CDN
- WAF
- Good API for managing services
How has it helped my organization?
Thanks to Incapsula, we got easily manageable DDoS protection; HTTP2 and SSL certificates for all the services; CDN in good locations; and we're now sure that our web services can't be exploited remotely because of the WAF feature. Also, we can chose to whitelist/blacklist network(s) access to specific services/resources.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used it for a few years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
We have not encountered any deployment issues.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We had a few hiccups in the past, but they were small with no impact to important services.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not encountered any scalability issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
They need to work on the customer support; in my opinion, this is their weakest point. Some of their support representatives really have no idea how their service works.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not previously use a different solution.
What about the implementation team?
An in-house team implemented it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options.
What other advice do I have?
Try it.
