Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things.""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.""They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use.""The primary benefit that we see from their systems is that their filtering technology has the ability to detect and drop the malicious traffic from the legitimate traffic with a high success rate. That, in combination with the very small effort needed to manage their systems, are the two most important benefits to us.""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.""The most valuable feature of A10 Thunder TPS is load balancing.""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 GUI is very use-friendly. You can configure it through CLI or GUI, they give you an option to choose. It's a good solution in terms of the appliance itself. It's very light compared to other brands that offer DDoS solutions."

More A10 Thunder TPS Pros →

"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment.""It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy.""A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates.""The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature.""The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from.""Technologically simple and effective.""The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive.""The product integrates well with Cisco."

Cons
"They have a cloud scrubbing feature that redirects the traffic if the on-prem appliance can't accommodate a large amount of traffic but it's not available where we are.""The solution is a little expensive.""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 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.""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.""Its documentation could be better.""I would like for them to develop an advanced reporting feature.""I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability."

More A10 Thunder TPS Cons →

"There needs to be more reporting.""They need to increase the limit of devices that we can manage.""This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added.""The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network.""Radware DefensePro requires a continuous learning process. Using this technology, we can improve our network. Based on the different attack mechanisms, we use Radware DefensePro to provide security for our clients' networks very effectively.""They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece.""The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market.""The inability to access local technical support during our business hours poses a significant inconvenience."

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."

  • More A10 Thunder TPS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product's pricing is a good value."

    Overview

    The Thunder TPS is a family of high-performance DDoS defense solutions that detect and mitigate multi-vector DDoS attacks. Unlike traditional DDoS defenses that leave a wake of collateral damage against users, Thunder TPS applies a source-based defense-in-depth mitigation pipeline. This multimodal defense that includes actionable DDoS weapons intelligence, operator definable adaptive policies, and machine learning-powered Zero-Day Automated Protection (ZAP) blocks attackers while protecting real users.

    The Thunder TPS is uniquely suited for communication service providers, online gaming, and enterprise network operators who protect large networks and need compact solutions with faster response from a fully automated, zero-touch defense during an attack.

    Radware DefensePro is a next-generation robust Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) solution. The solution provides real-time network intrusion prevention that will protect an organization's valuable ecosystem from being damaged or immobilized by malicious attacks or threats. Radware DefensePro will aggressively protect an organization's network to negate any potential downtime and minimize any vulnerabilities caused by theft, malware, ransomware, or any other potential network attack scenario.

    Radware DefensePro is also very effective in defending against IoT-based, Burst, DNS, and TLS/SSL attacks to ensure organizations are able to stay protected against emerging network multivector attacks, ransom DDoS campaigns, IoT botnets, phantom floods, and many other types of cyberattacks common in the marketplace today.

    Radware DefensePro provides users with the following branded security protocols:

    • Reputation Engine: A real-time anti-phishing, anti-trojan protocol that is able to discover any potential threats that have been developed to cause disruption in the financial sector, information theft, and by the dissemination of malware. 
    • Denial of Service Protection: This protocol is designed to protect against DDoS attacks by discovering any potential threats and any additional anomalous behavior in real-time and will thoroughly investigate each and every new connection to ensure their validity to the network and maintain security.
    • Network Behavior Analysis (NBA): This protocol utilizes a Radware patented real-time behavioral-based next-generation signature technology to intuitively discover suspicious behaviors that may predict an attack. The NBA protocol immediately uses that data to block the attack.
    • Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): Built on an intuitive stateful static signature detection technology, IPS will glean from systematic and emergency updates to comprehensively protect the organization's network.

    Radware DefensePro has many valuable benefits. Some of its most valuable benefits include:

    • Prevent system downtime.
    • Minimize employee downtime.
    • Maintain peak performance.
    • Minimize network attack surface.
    • Minimize overall risk.
    • Improve response time to potential threats.
    • Improve defense and security.
    • Protect the organization's brand and reputation.
    • Cost-effective
    • Excellent Return on Investment

    Regrettably, DDoS attacks are on the rise in today’s busy marketplace.  As these types of attacks become more sophisticated and pervasive, it is incumbent on today’s busy enterprise organizations to ensure they have an effective and aggressive DDoS solution in place. Radware DefensePro is a valued-added effective solution to consider.
