Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use.""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.""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.""Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond.""We selected the solution because of its programmable automated defense using RESTful API. We didn't want to connect to the box. We wanted to be able to do some automation. We wanted to have our own portal because we wanted to connect our customers to our own UI using the A10 API. It has been good and exactly what we need.""We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things.""It is a scalable solution.""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."

"DDoS Protection Service provides excellent defense in the cloud, and the implementation and migration are very straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud.""Provides good monitoring and has a user-friendly dashboard.""The most important part is that Radware DDoS integrates seamlessly and provides anomaly identification, real-time notifications, and security against DDoS attacks. It also helps us with multi-layer volumetric attacks. It shields us from global botnet threats."

Cons
"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability.""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.""The solution is a little expensive.""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 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.""We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement.""Its documentation could be better.""It is very difficult to implement. It should be made a bit easier to implement. There is also a lack of resources on the internet. They need to develop more resources."

"Customization could be improved.""We heavily relied on Radware's technical team to ensure the proper setup and configuration of VPN tunnels for cloud mitigation.""There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable.""Radware's management is very proactive, but Radware's lower-level staff is not proactive. You need to do a lot of follow-ups."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 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.""
  • "Pricing was much higher with Arbor (APS) for the same type of solution."
  • "Pricing is very reasonable."
  • "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 did a price survey, and compared to other solutions, A10 Thunder TPS wasn't cheap."
