AI functionality in Imperva does do quite a bit of learning, but Imperva can do more. There's little interaction. There's basically just the machine learning bit. So it basically baselines the application and then analyzes traffic towards the application. But in terms of capability to interact with large language models, that is still not at the level where the competitors are. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

When a client comes to us saying that they want to implement Imperva, the first thing that we ask them is if they are willing to spend that much. If they say yes, then we do not even compare it to any other product. We just go for Imperva. Feature-wise, we are confident of it. Any customer would go for it in terms of features. Overall, I would rate Imperva Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.

I can highly recommend Imperva WAF for financial institutions. It's a good solution and I think it's important for financial institutions, particularly those who conduct online banking, to make use of a solid WAF such as this. I would rate Imperva WAF a nine out of ten.
I do the maintenance and upgrades of the solution if it requires it. I would recommend this solution to everyone. I rate Imperva Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.
We are users and also we are resellers. The version we are using is the latest version. It has many valuable options or features. You just need to know what you need for your organization. If not, Imperva will probably tend to sell you almost everything. You just need to know what are the options that you need for your organization. Apart from that, the whole process is quite fast and it's quite reliable. I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I'm working as a cyber security consultant and I provide Imperva Web Application Firewall and other similar solutions to customers. We are working in the Middle East, e.g. we are deploying solutions to different organizations. I don't have any input on the pricing for Imperva Web Application Firewall, as that part is covered by the research team. I don't have advice for people looking into implementing this solution, except that everyone has different opinions and different requirements. Every organization has different requirements, and their choices will be based on their requirements. If all their requirements are fulfilled by Imperva Web Application Firewall, then they'll want to implement or use it. I've giving Imperva Web Application Firewall a score of seven out of ten.

We stopped using Imperva Web Application Firewall mostly because at the time we need to upgrade our devices to the latest version. After four years, we didn't pay the license for the solution because we were updating our team solution also. After one year, when we tried to upgrade it, Imperva ask us for the last one-year license renewal and they didn't accept our devices. They wanted us to purchase the new versions for approximately $859, which was too expensive for our budget. The cost with implementation is approximately $2,000,000 because we were expected to deploy eight devices. There were other products that were cheaper and they could meet our mandatory requirements. If companies want to use Imperva Web Application Firewall they will need to place their bids and they might have a budget for the solution it is a good solution. I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Imperva Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.

We are resellers and we are based in Kenya. We're actually doing the whole suite. I'm working with Database Security and I'm also doing the Web Application Firewall, both of which are on-prem and on the cloud. I'm also doing the DRA. It's the best in breed in terms of a solution you can put in place. I'd rate the solution at an nine out of ten. We're quite happy with its overall capabilities.

Imperva has different three parts - the Web Application Firewall (WAF), Incapsula for cloud, and DAM for database firewalls. This is in one central monitor. We aren't using the latest version of the solution. We use the solution as a customer as well as an integrator. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's very good. We've been quite happy with its overall capabilities.

My advice is to follow the three, two, one backup rule, this solution is very suitable for this. Make sure you are defining your mean time for recovery of the backup, and try to see that it makes the mean time. I rate Imperva Web Application Firewall a nine out of ten.

In Turkey, we mostly have on-premises deployments. There are some Azure Amazon projects, but it is mostly deployed on-premises. It is not so easy to send Incapsula solutions to Turkey. I would recommend this solution. It is easy to manage and expand. I would rate Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall a ten out of ten.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is that if they want a stable product with good scalability then they can choose Imperva. The price is a little bit higher than that of the competitors, which largely impacts whether customers choose Imperva. In fact, if you don't care about budget then Imperva is the only solution for an application firewall. My only complaint is that the user interface could be better. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Overall, Imperva is a pretty good product. I am working with the development team for Imperva in Israel, and I have submitted some feature requests for things that I think should be changed. Everything that should be fixed, we have a discussion on it and it is probable that these things will be fixed. My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to first go and learn the attack surfaces because you need to protect the assets from attack. In order to do this, you need to understand the attacks. Let's say that a good defense is a good offense. The biggest lesson that I have learned from working with this solution is to back up the system all of the time. Do it step by step, and be very precise. Have plans for each and every move, all of the time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are an integration company, so we are providing this as a solution to other customers. They're mostly enterprise-level clients. I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.
The company has to deeply work on it. Also, with regard to support for the distributor, distributors have a big problem. We got the wrong consigning. It was kept for more than three months in a customs warehouse because of the issue of the problems on the distributor side. That is a big problem. I would rate it an eight out of ten. Imperva is good because it doesn't also only monitor but it also does acquisition.
I handle the on-premises deployment model. We have the latest version of the solution. We also sell the product. I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

This is a security device, and it is used almost every day. It is not just used when there is an issue. Based on what the dashboard or the reports say, you can change policies to meet your security requirements or business needs. Based on my experience, and what I know this product can do, I would never recommend another solution. I advise most of my customers to go for this. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

This is a solution that I highly recommend. The biggest lesson that I have learned from this solution is that Imperva is not a one-house solution. They create a specialized solution, and that comes with a lot of value. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
