Cost considerations
Imperva sells API Security as a traffic-based add-on, with reseller list prices around US$50 per million requests and typical bundles near US$1 000 per month, so spend scales with call volume. Pricing tiers are visible through distributors but large deals still need a sales quote, giving average transparency and overall mid-market cost predictability.

Functionality
Imperva API Security discovers all APIs, checks them against the OWASP API Top 10, and blocks business-logic attacks in real time with customizable inline actions. Integration with CI/CD pipelines, API gateways, WAF and bot protection weaves automated safeguards through development and production workflows. Dashboards and risk scores aid oversight, yet coverage beyond API-centric risks relies on additional Imperva tools, so functionality is strong but not fully comprehensive.

Compatibility
Imperva API Security runs across cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments and plugs into major gateways such as Kong, MuleSoft, Azure APIM, Apigee and F5, so most mainstream stacks are covered with light configuration. Add-on deployment through Imperva Cloud WAF or a self-managed, agentless option lets teams roll out protection without touching application code or specific programming frameworks. Niche languages or uncommon CI/CD pipelines may still need extra work, keeping compatibility strong but not universal.

User experience
Gartner Peer Insights reviewers highlight clean dashboards, automatic API discovery screens, and straightforward navigation that make Imperva API Security simple to integrate and manage. G2 feedback echoes this but notes occasional configuration quirks and limited self-service customization that slow some tasks. The blend of largely smooth workflows with minor friction fits the rubric’s “user-friendly interface” level, warranting a 4.

Customer support
Gartner Peer Insights and G2 reviewers report slow responses and limited issue resolution from Imperva API Security customer support, requiring extra follow-ups. Imperva’s own support guide shows standard coverage limited to 8 a.m.–6 p.m. local time unless customers pay for premium 24×7 service. Reviewers also note parts of the documentation are outdated, reducing self-service effectiveness
