Great for validating requests, offer personalized protection, and prevents attacks
We have teams in the cloud and on-premise, and normally many DDoS queries were observed. Some were normal. Others were not. It is at this point that we could have poor quality services due to their denial. Once this problem was raised, we began to see solutions that would allow us to solve these…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This comprehensive tool validates and exploits complex vulnerabilities that other vendors fail to find and resolve to increase security."
"From my experience, the best part of this solution is behavioral DDoS protection. The DDoS Protector can monitor the traffic, and based on the behavior, it can decide which traffic is malicious and which traffic is regular. It works dynamically, and it's a very good solution."
"It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service."
"Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis."
"As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously."
"Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point."
"One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS."
"The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood."
More Check Point DDoS Protector pros
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
More Fortinet FortiDDoS pros
 

Cons

"The Check Point support language is only in English."
"The solution should greatly improve its interface."
"It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk."
"The mitigation part could be improved."
"I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes."
"The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer."
"Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations."
"Check Point should develop a DDoS solution because they don't have one and we need to use another solution, in our case, Imperva. This is a problem because we need to have two firewalls. We would like to only have one solution because it would improve the management, we would have fewer incidents, and we wouldn't need to talk to more than one person for support."
More Check Point DDoS Protector cons
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The challenge lies within the customer environment, particularly in Brazil, where companies have stringent security requirements for implementing solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The appliance comes with a loaded hardware license, and additional options such as SSL can be purchased and enabled."
"I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the DDoS database for new attacks and so on."
"It's an expensive solution. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the world. It's cheaper than Palo Alto and Cisco but these are expensive solutions. Fortinet is cheaper."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"It's quite pricey."
