Ratings

Cost considerations

Imperva Web Application Firewall posts entry plans at about $59 per site monthly, while enterprise tiers start near $6 000 and rise with scale. Similar cloud WAFs list starting prices closer to $20 per month or $0.60 per million requests, putting Imperva toward the higher-priced end of the field. Analysts and user reviews frequently mention the quote-based model and add-on fees as costly compared with peers, making budgeting less predictable.

Functionality

Imperva Web Application Firewall blocks the full OWASP Top 10, leverages behavioral analytics and threat intelligence to stop new attacks, and offers granular policies with automated updates. APIs, Terraform modules, and CI/CD plugins let teams weave protections into build and deploy pipelines without extra manual steps. Interactive dashboards and exportable reports give business and compliance owners clear proof of blocked threats and policy effectiveness.

Compatibility

Imperva Web Application Firewall runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and traditional data centers and offers Terraform modules and REST APIs that plug into mainstream CI/CD pipelines, so most organizations can add protection without re-architecting. Specialized frameworks or legacy languages sometimes need extra policy tuning, which translates to a modest amount of integration work.

User experience

Imperva Web Application Firewall deploys quickly and its dashboards are useful, but Gartner Peer Insights reviewers flag unfriendly page logic and complex policy setup that slows navigation. TrustRadius feedback says the interface is confusing for newcomers, though routine tasks become manageable after some practice. These mixed comments place overall usability in the middle of the pack versus other application security products.
