Why select Fastly over Imperva?

Performant Network

Fastly’s network is more performant than Imperva’s. Fastly’s 500+ Tbps vs. Imperva’s 13 Tbps equates to better customer experiences and enhanced DDoS protection.

Improved Visibility

Unlike traditional WAFs, Fastly's Next-Gen WAF also leverages Signals – clear, easy-to-understand labels attached to requests. These Signals provide deep visibility into traffic behavior, helping you quickly identify, understand, and respond to potential threats.

Deploy Anywhere

Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF rapidly deploys and protects everywhere your apps operate - containers, clouds, on-premises, at the edge, and beyond - all within a single offering.

Superior Detection

Fastly Next-Gen WAF's SmartParse detection engine is able to make highly accurate, contextual classification of attack traffic, eliminating the need for the numerous, maintenance-intensive regex rulesets required by Imperva. Fastly’s approach results in fewer false positives and less tuning toil than regex.

Shift Everywhere

Built for DevSecOps, Fastly’s API-first architecture satisfies admins and developers alike - CDN and security services effortlessly integrate into existing CI/CD workflows, yielding faster innovation and deployment cycles.

Improved TCO

Users can make their changes through an intuitive Control Panel, removing reliance on costly Professional Services and customer support. And since we do not sell appliances appliances, the saving passes to the customer.

«Fastly informó que había bloqueado aproximadamente un millón de solicitudes en un periodo de siete días durante la fase inicial de monitoreo, lo que demuestra que el WAF estaba protegiendo activamente el tráfico y reduciendo la carga no deseada».

“We deployed the Next-Gen WAF behind our current WAF, and over one weekend we saw it block attacks our WAF was missing. The dashboards allowed us to easily see and track malicious activity in a way we couldn’t with our old WAF.”
