User Testimonials
	IBM Cloud Internet Services	Imperva CDN
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM In terms of business challenges, it simplifies the job of my engineers and significantly increases the productivity of my teams when they collaborate with IBM teams all over the world. Now that we have completed a proof-of-concept using the services supplied by IBM, we expect it to assist us in managing them more efficiently; thus far, management has been straightforward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Imperva I recommend it as a WAF, but not as a CDN. There are better CDNs, in my case I use transparentCDN (now www.transparentedge.eu) and Edgecast (now Verizon CDN). Incentivized EA Edu Ard Sysadmin Read full review
Pros	IBM Integration with IBM Cloud applications Easy to manage web application firewall Ease of protecting CloudFoundry applications Good console UI Protection for rare managed service offerings such as CouchDB through IBM Cloudant Incentivized Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology Read full review	Imperva Reliability / Uptime Security Incentivized Josh Dix Systems Administrator Read full review
Cons	IBM Request proxying is done by way of DNS name resolution, which is inflexible. Proxy services do not work on wildcard DNS entries. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Imperva CDN functionalities are secondary and cannot be compared to a top-level CDN. The WebGUI interface of the dashboard is very improvable. They have been changing the UX for years and it is disjointed and with services that have not yet been migrated. The analysis of WAF attack logs is insufficient. It is difficult to analyze attacks of past hours, event filters are missing. It is complicated to analyze the chronology of an attack. There are extra modules to improve the attack logs analysis but they are expensive and add little. Incentivized EA Edu Ard Sysadmin Read full review
Usability	IBM I have seen faster and more user friendly interfaces like Azure Incentivized Alexandre Carvalho Senior Technical Support Engineer Read full review	Imperva No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	IBM I have used Salesforce to explore it as an app but I have found them both able to solve my needs and requirements when it comes to security. While I choose IBM Cloud Internet Services for more accessibility, a better price was available with Saleforce. Although that is just my observation.

Return on Investment	IBM It had a positive impact with a big improvement on the performance of web applications. Services are quite fast to implement and easy to maintain from an IT perspective. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Imperva It's an expensive product if you have a lot of traffic volume, but I feel confident with their WAF.
