Cloudflare vs. Imperva Application Delivery

We've had cases where our company was under cyber attack and received phising emails which contained links to malicious and credential stealing websites, impersonating trusted pages, or hosting malicious files to be downloaded. These malicious links were all blocked 95% of the time due to various methods used by CF to detect malicious pages and/or content. We have had a few minor cases where legit pages were blocked, but this was mainly due to domain age, and pages/domains created specifically for joint ventures or projects.

Incapsula as a Web Application Firewall is fantastic and very well priced compared to other products in the market. Load balancing supports management of multiple development and live environments, rewrite rules and behaviour rules to migrate traffic between sites and allow switching between different endpoints. The reporting features allow you too see the level of traffic instantly

• DNS is quick to set up and seems to propagate quicker than other DNS name servers. Page rules are very convenient for quickly setting up redirects with wildcards.
• Setting up a proxy with Cloudflare Workers for my API, which runs on Google Cloud Functions was much simpler than any solution I came across using Google Cloud Platform itself. It also doesn't cost us a lot of money for this use case.
• Web Analytics are privacy-focused, so it is nice to get insights into our application without worrying about the data being sold. The interface is very clean. I like being able to query page views by bot score, to see how many bots are viewing pages compared to actual users. Querying this data is also very quick and simple when compared to Google Analytics API.

• Their UI is notable for simplicity but has room for improvement indeed, both in UX and especially for cohesiveness across feature sets
• It would be nice to have better linkage between some of the more complex things in the UI and the documentation
• Documentation can always be improved

• The portal has recently been redesigned, finding previous sections will take time to familarise

Cloudflare features are an integral part of my website, as of now I can’t think about doing without it. It would require an unimaginable time and effort to find and implement alternatives for every feature, considered how large and diverse Cloudflare feature set is

Everything is extremely concise and all settings apply immediately and take effect globally. There is no reason to explicitly plan/think in terms of individual regions as one would have to traditional cloud offerings (AWS, OCI, Azure). All Cloudflare products integrate seamless as part of a single pipeline that executes from request to response.

Their Argo for the global network is the core feature we love.

Because of Cloudflare Zero trust network security services, Cloudflare Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the technology that makes it possible to implement a Zero Trust security model. "Zero Trust" is an IT security model that assumes threats are present both inside and outside a network. Consequently, Zero Trust requires strict verification for every user and every device before authorizing them to access internal resources.

Very well executed implementation where our team was able to handle the implementation with guidance.

All except the greatest DDoS attempts are stopped by Cloudflare's security. Cloudflare is a worldwide cloud network that can safeguard and speed up any website. Cloudflare is ahead of the competition because of its global reach and cutting-edge tools for speeding up and optimizing both static and dynamic web traffic.

When going out to market we reviewed several products to compare. What we discovered was that Incapsula offered the best value and everything that we needed for a business of our size. We are able to "bolt on" bandwidth and functionality as the requirement grows, or scale down if no longer required.

So far it has been very reliable

• It has allow us to use the free plan in several small sites
• For medium/big sizes, the plans they offer adjust properly to the needs we require; saving money and making the most of the spent one
• Considering we manage several clients; we were able to centralize all of our client's accounts in our own; allowing us to save time in their management and giving them the security that we will only access the parts they require us to access
