Protects critical infrastructure from alerts but GUI needs improvement
If we consider a default setup without customization, I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, the initial setup can be time-consuming for specific requirements needing customization, possibly requiring extensive fine-tuning. With the detailed and specific features we require, along with the need for tuning and customization, the process can indeed take several weeks. Allot DDoS Secure's case of integration with existing infrastructure is not too hard.

Rapid attack detection and traffic visibility improve security management
The solution was intended for the big clients of Telefonica to clean their internet pipe. We deployed the service to clean the pipe. In some clients' data centers, we implemented a solution that detects and mitigates attacks using Arbor DDoS, our data center solution For me, the most valuable…

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."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"I recommend using Arbor DDoS for those wanting to keep their services online."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"Our customers are very happy when we provide them with the interface... They can check how many attacks they have faced and how many attacks have been blocked."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"Arbor's SSL decryption is confusing and needs external cards to be installed in the devices. This is not the best solution from an architectural point of view for protecting HTTPS and every other protocol that is SSL encrypted."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"I have observed that the SNMP traps aspect that sends information to third-party solutions needs improvement."
"Implementation could be better."
"Support in Argentina is not so good. Although the team is good, they are not fast, and they lack the skills to manage dynamic attackers."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"I'm a technical guy. But I know it's expensive compared to its competitors. After you have the on-premise solution, for your solution to be effective you have to subscribe to an "upper level," so there's another cost. There is also a subscription to cloud services, which is another cost."
"You need to find a way to get a good offering from Arbor by negotiating a price. That is the challenge."
"The price of this solution is a little high in the African market, it should be lower."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap."
"I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the software and implement some patches."
"As far as I know, they are the best in this sector, in DDoS protection. They know it, I know, because their service prices are too high. They provide cloud DDoS protection for ISPs, but that is also too expensive."
"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."
"Arbor is striking a good balance between pricing and what they deliver."
