5.0
Dec 9, 2025
Our experience with Imperva Advanced Bot Protection has been very encouraging. This solution has given us much better insight into automated traffic patterns and it has also played a very important role in reducing unwanted bot interactions across our applications. The dashboards and the reports are very easy to understand and the detection quality is very impressive and reliable. We initially spent time fine tuning a few configurations but when we completed, the system has delivered steady and dependable protection aligned with our expectations.

“Exploring the Flexibility and Limits of Imperva Advanced Bot Protection”

3.0
Apr 29, 2025
Imperva Advanced Bot Protection is a good product in protecting the external bots facing the internet and threats to an organization, but it also requires a lot of human fine tuning and intervention to configure the policies on ABP individually, which requires effort from the team. The product helps to Block Bots and custom create policies when required which provides great flexibility and is also a requirement for big enterprises. Imperva's ABP can be further improved by integrating/adapting to automation on all its policies, to achieve greater flexibility, scalability and speed.
