It has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack

Thunder TPS protects your network from DDoS attacks. Our company experienced some DDoS attacks that temporarily took down parts of the network. The manual process we had in place took some time to execute, and Thunder TPS offered better mitigation methods so we could block malicious IP addresses…

Effectively prevents security risks and hacking attempts on websites, providing robust protection

I'm currently using it to prevent security risk attacks and hacking on my websites. We use the solution to protect our main website, which has two parts: a Web Application Firewall and a service to remove infection. We also use the part that sends us information about new risk updates to our site…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond."

"Based on previous equipment that we had, it's amazing that this device can do what it can do in a 1U form factor. The devices that we have right now have never gone over capacity and we've actually mitigated some pretty large attacks."

"The solution has reduced the amount of manual intervention required during an attack. We have the inline solution and when it comes to the customers that we have on it, it has saved us some troubleshooting time."

"The response time to an attack is instant. We've used some outsourced solutions in the past, out in the cloud, that weren't so quick. But it's all within our control now. We control how fast it mitigates."

"They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature of A10 Thunder TPS is load balancing."

"We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things."

More A10 Thunder TPS pros

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"The initial setup was very easy."

Cons

"If there's one aspect of A10 that needs improvement it would be the training. All of their training is done online, at least in what we've been exposed to. I would like to have a classroom environment for training... It would give [people] a chance to provision it."

"The last issue we had to contact them about was just a question of a false-positive. The A10 system wasn't supposed to decide what is a false-positive. So if we send it good traffic, it's supposed to just pass that good traffic through. But we opened this last ticket because the A10 did block some of the good traffic. Their support had to tweak it a little bit, but it wasn't anything that took a long time."

"The solution is a little expensive."

"We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement."

"We currently do not use the solution's machine-learning-powered Zero-day Automated Protection because of an issue with it... We also use the aGalaxy platform, which is a management platform for the TPS devices. The issue is that some TPS features were added at the TPS level but weren't carried over to aGalaxy, and we manage all of our devices through aGalaxy. So we can't actually use some of the new features that are available on the TPS because that functionality doesn't exist in aGalaxy. That is one of my biggest complaints."

"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability."

"The upgrade process for the boxes is not efficient. We have to go through the A10 aGalaxy where we have issues, like timeouts. They told me it was fixed in the latest version, but I tried to do it on the Portal and it is not working all the time."

"Its documentation could be better."

More A10 Thunder TPS cons

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is very reasonable."

"The financials are always a challenge with this type of technology. That's not really a product-functionality thing but it's the area where we push A10 the most."

"We did a price survey, and compared to other solutions, A10 Thunder TPS wasn't cheap."

"Pricing was much higher with Arbor (APS) for the same type of solution."

"We may need to pay fifty percent more if we purchase other solutions. For the payments made to A10 Thunder TPS, we have received three-year support."

"We had a customer who was down for six hours and the loss of revenue for him was three times the price he was paying for us per year. The customer just said, "I don't care about paying you because on only one attack I saved money. It's three times better than losing money.""

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Sucuri?

The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
