We performed a comparison between Akamai Prolexic Routed and Arbor DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NETSCOUT, Cloudflare, Imperva and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"It is fully mitigating the attacks. We've dealt with other ones where we didn't necessarily see that. The detection is very good. It's also very simple to use. Arbor is a single pane of glass, whereas with other solutions you might have a detection pane of glass and then have to go to a separate interface to deal with the mitigation. That single pane of glass makes it much simpler."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"The most valuable features include the traffic categorization and control of the traffic. The filtering of the traffic is very precise. When you want to stop some traffic, you precisely stop that traffic."
"There were huge attacks in October, around 62 attacks at 30 gigabits per second, at one of our banks. We used Arbor DDoS to mitigate these attacks, and it performed great."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"Implementation could be better."
"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."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."

There are two aspects for this query:
1) if the client has multiple applications that needs to be considered for DDos protection I will prefer to go with Prolexic, but
2) if the client has multiple network devices and those devices are front facing for being a security appliances then I recommend to go with Arbor network for DDos protection, because it has the capability to handle large size of packet length as well as the volume of the packets.
It's has been a great experienced for me by evaluating arbor networks which is very well when considering the protection of network devices (core, edge) having a virtualized environment and on site solutions .
For prolexic they have a wide verity of solution for applications that are custom develop or using a vendor based application. It's function
From experience between Akamai prolexic and Arbor to me is the mitigation techniques and integration to your network. Prolexic uses Netflow in order to detect an attack and then switch traffic to their solution in order to mitigate the attack. The most effective technique to mitigate attacks according to them is an always-on solution, meaning that you're routing your traffic to their network, which adds a hop and depending on your geographical location, can increase network latency.
Arbor solutions usually work with On-Premise Equipment which does mitigation of low and slow, layer 7 or low yield volumetric attacks. The advantage of Arbor solutions lies in a hybrid solution providing this on-prem technology and cloud scrubbing center capabilities for volumetric attacks which your network cannot handle.
