User Testimonials
	Cisco Secure Workload	Imperva Data Security
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco The biggest challenge with this product is it crosses lines. You need somebody who can support servers as well as somebody who supports the infrastructure. And that's usually two different jobs, two different job titles, two different departments. So if you have a lot of silos within your organization and you have groups that don't work particularly well together between the server team and the network team, you will have problems developing and working on this product. If your server team and your network team work well together, then you'll have a lot fewer problems, it'll work pretty well. But if your server team and your network team are like oil and water don't bother. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Imperva, a Thales company Compliance to audits and HiTrust certification. It is key in ensuring that our audits are completed in a timely manner with no repeats of data requests and that we also are HiTrust certified at our organization. Personally while the data obfuscation is available I am not sure I would fully trust that the data is completely sanitized if need be. It's not against the Imperva product but more of issue of data being used. Incentivized Verified User Read full review

Cons	Cisco No answers on this topic	Imperva, a Thales company Navigation of the menus can get confusing pretty quickly. Since there are so many, it is extremely easy to get lost. Almost too many options and data. Configuring the agents can be very difficult if you are new to it. Having to save after every single change made to an agent during a configuration can be very tedious. Also having to make sure certain options are checked off in two separate places for a single option is very annoying. Navigation of the menus is not always intuitive and not very obvious that the option you are looking change is located in that menu. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco No answers on this topic	Imperva, a Thales company Allowed us to meet important compliance requirements. When protecting critical data, we can see exactly how it's being used and by whom. Licensing costs are very reasonable. It takes a fair amount of administration to use properly.
