Protects critical infrastructure from alerts but GUI needs improvement
We use the DPI feature to manage traffic during periods of peak usage. We also use it to defend against attacks rather than solely for traffic management The product has good architecture, concepts, and diagrams to protect end customers. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and pattern…

A stable solution offering features like analytics and attack mitigation capabilities
Arbor DDoS is not used for enterprise companies but by some other companies, including NIDC, a government entity Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution. It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing. I work for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has good architecture, concepts, and diagrams to protect end customers. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and pattern creation are its most valuable features. The tool's alerting systems protect critical infrastructure."
"We have taken on the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"Arbor DDoS is easy to use, provides effective blocking of DDoS attacks, and can be used for DNS, web, and main servers. Additionally, this solution is far easier to operate than others solutions, such as Fortinet DDoS."
"It provides packet capture and we can block or whitelist whichever IPs we need to. Whatever traffic we want to block - and we get IPs from internal teams and from national teams - we block at the Arbor level only, because if it gets to the firewall then firewall bandwidth will be taken."
"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"Because we had some routers that were somewhat old, they were not integrated with Arbor. They did not support the NetFlow version that Arbor was running. That was a challenge. We had to upgrade the routers. Some backward-compatibility would be helpful."
"On the application layer, they could have a better distributed traffic flow. They could improve that a bit. For network data it is very effective, but the application layer can be improved."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"If we want to see live traffic, we can see do so. But once an attack that lasts for five minutes is done, the data is no longer there. It would be an improvement if we could see recent traffic in the dashboard. We can check and download live traffic, but a past attack, with all the details, such as why it happened and how to mitigate and prevent such future attacks, would be helpful to see."
"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"The licensing of a complete Arbor solution, including fire-walling and unified site management, can get expensive."
"Arbor is striking a good balance between pricing and what they deliver."
"The price of this solution is a little high in the African market, it should be lower."
"I believe that the price of Arbor DDoS falls under the bracket of medium to high price."
"The solution is a bit costly if you're a small organization, but I think it's worth the price that they are charging."
"Pricing is slightly on the higher side."
"The price of Arbor DDoS depends on many parameters. It depends on the physical capacity of the environment, and it is not a straight-line price. It's fairly competitive in the market on the price."
"Because the solutions from competitors are very different, it's not easy to compare. However, the licensing from Arbor is clear and understandable and the pricing is reasonable when looking at the market, in general."
