CloudFlare vs Incapsula (WAF)

Incapsula's WAF continues to have an advantage over CloudFlare's WAF. We should  also  mention  that  only  Incapsula's  WAF  is  PCI-Certified,  which  is  an  advantage  for  certain  types  of  online
businesses.

While CloudFlare's new WAF solution showed substantial improvement since the first penetration test, it still does not provide the comprehensive level of security against certain types of web application attacks (e.g., SQL injection, Remote File Inclusion) that many online businesses today require.

We  noticed  the  high  block  ratio  of  XSS  attacks,  but  from  all  the  types  of  attacks,  main  focus  was  on  Cross-Site Scripting.  The  SQL  Injection,  Local  and  Remote  File  Inclusion,  and  Remote  Code/Command  Execution  at tacks  had very low detection rate by the CloudFlare WAF.
Incapsula, on the other hand, has shown consistent security performance in both tests, with a high block ratio and few false-positives.
