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.

Multi-layered defense ensures robust protection and optimized resources
Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection, always-on and on-demand service, zero-day protection with adaptive behavioral-based mitigation, DNS and infrastructure protection, and SSL attack mitigation. The solution's multi-layer protection covers volumetric, protocol-based, and application layer attacks. They offer a very effective response against DNS attacks. Regarding behavior-based detection technology, in terms of real-time detection, it has been able to reduce false positives. We have pretty good experience with them. The geolocation is pretty good for an organization such as ours. We can block anything from certain regions, like North Korea or China, etc, cetera. It works alongside machine learning. They can update policies globally in less than ten seconds, which really helps with false positives. During a DDoS attack, it ensures legitimate users are not affected. We're working on a hybrid solution, so we have Defence Pro devices on our side and unlimited mitigation capabilities on the cloud.

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."
"Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection, always-on and on-demand service, zero-day protection with adaptive behavioral-based mitigation, DNS and infrastructure protection, and SSL attack mitigation."
"Its functionality is very good."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"The dashboard is the best part, and there is also the ease of operations."
"The key strength of Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service is its behavior engine, which uses anomaly detection to identify and stop DDoS attacks."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"I am happy to see that we have not had any DDoS attacks. This solution has successfully protected us from attacks, and no one has been able to attack our network."
"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The tool's GUI and Java-based management platform needs improvement."
"Its documentation is not 100% clear, making it the weakest aspect of Radware. We have encountered some difficulties in understanding how to configure it correctly."
"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."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"Their Cyber Security Controller portal, including its GUI and dashboard, could be more intuitive so CXOs can easily understand them."
"We heavily relied on Radware's technical team to ensure the proper setup and configuration of VPN tunnels for cloud mitigation."
"I suggest improvements to the user interface to make it easier to use and to find the necessary data for analysis."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Allot DDoS Secure's pricing a five out of ten."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
"The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price."
"The price varies by use case and there are monthly and annual licensing options. If you deploy on-premise, there is an annual license with the amount dependent on the throughput you need and which features you will be using - i.e. IPS, behavioral, etc."
"The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected."
"Its pricing is competitive. The licensing model is also very competitive. It is customizable, so there is no issue at all. They have given us whatever we have asked in terms of the pricing model and SLA."
"When compared with other solutions, my end user is satisfied with the costs and believes that Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is worth the price paid."
"Radware's Cloud DDoS Protection Service stands out for its competitive pricing, making it a strong contender in our decision."
