User Testimonials
	Imperva Application Firewall	NGINX Plus
Likelihood to Recommend	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I think that NGINX Plus could be used in place of a hardware load balancer and it would be light weight and easier to configure than a hardware based load balancer but in terms of usability a GUI for said load balancer would definitely help in setting up Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Security Reporting Oversight Redirections Rules Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Load balancing Caching App security Boost App performance Incentivized NS Nishant Shah Senior Analyst IS Read full review
Cons	The portal has recently been redesigned, finding previous sections will take time to familarise Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	An AI bot would be cool to help build config files More webinars for advanced NGINX Plus would be great GUI tool... might already be one available Incentivized Vinnie Chhabra IT Engineer Read full review

Usability	No answers on this topic	The UI is not there. Incentivized ML Maverick Lim Senior System Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	We had an issue after upgrading from RHEL 7 to 8, and there were some issues that the security team imposed upon the platform with a scanning tool. We also had a VXLAN environment that was not properly sending a gratuitous arp to the network. NGINX support was instrumental to speedily resolving our issue.

Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	We are planning by using NGINX it can greatly reduce our OPEX by 50% "just our own running APIGW" the cascading effects in the long run will be much more. Incentivized ML Maverick Lim Senior System Analyst Read full review
