2. Imperva API Security

By Thales Group (Imperva)

4.5

(97 Ratings)

Imperva API Security platform mainly focuses on API Inventory on the edge, allowing to detect api endpoints on already protected or published services on their CDN/WAF. The product feels overall compliant and on an initial level of configuration, but lacks on deep detections and protections.

3. Cloudflare API Gateway

By Cloudflare

4.3

(67 Ratings)

Cloudflare API Gateway has been a strong backbone for tightening out API security while simplifying how traffic flows through our edge, especially as our number of services and endpoints exploded. In day-to-day use, Cloudflare API Gateway feels like an extension of the broader Cloudflare stack rather than a standalone product, which is exactly what we needed for consistent policies across web and API traffic. Once we turned on discovery and schema validation, we finally had real visibility in to which APIs were actually exposed and how they were being used, instead of guessing from backend logs and developer notes. Our core problem was "shadow APIs" and inconsistent protections: teams would spin up new endpoints behind the CDN, but security rules and rate limiting didn't always follow, which left gaps we only noticed when something went wrong. With API discovery and central management those endpoints now show up automatically, so they can be brought under the same authentication, schema checks and abuse protections as the rest. The single-pane view changed our incident pattern: instead of chasing odd strikes in backend logs, we can see abusive or broken traffic at the edge, block or throttle it there, and keep downstream systems stable. It also saved a lot of developer time that previously wen t into custom nginx rules or ad-hoc gateways for each service.

I have to say that Salt Security exceeded expectations. The tool helped us discover several security flaws and attempted scams that existed in our environment. Overall, it was a very good experience. Despite the complexity and challenges of implementing an API and Web Application security tool to protect critical applications, we were successful and had no impact on the environment. The solution proved to be robust and adaptable. The vendor provided a great consultancy service. Commercial issues were easily resolved and we were very well served.
