Cloudflare Application Services Alternatives

Imperva ASP delivers strong protection for web applications, especially in scenarios with a WAF (Web Application Firewall). Attack mitigation is stable and offers good traffic visibility, but some configurations and adjustments can be quite laborious. Initially, when using a WAF, the WAF has a slightly different approach because the application needs to be clear, and the WAF needs to understand each step of that application to avoid blocking business functionality without the necessary knowledge or policy for that use.

Overall, the product works as expected, so we are satisfied with its performance so far.

Minor improvement could be made to the policy tuning workflow and alert customization.

So, the overall experience of using this service is very good. It provides an effective way to protect web applications from common security threats without requiring major infrastructure changes.
