What 28 Arbolus experts think of Imperva

Most customers rate Imperva highly, with NPS scores clustering between 7 and 10, and several expressing certainty or likely intent to renew, particularly those with high spend and in regulated industries. Stickiness is strong among organizations with more than one year of implementation. However, some note downsides in administrative complexity, rule tuning, and cost, especially when compared to developer-focused or lower-latency competitors. Neutral or negative sentiment is primarily linked to uncertainty about renewal and concerns over bundled pricing. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
