We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and CyberArk Privileged Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"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."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"Arbor DDoS is easy to use, provides effective blocking of DDoS attacks, and can be used for DNS, web, and main servers. Additionally, this solution is far easier to operate than others solutions, such as Fortinet DDoS."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The technical support for this solution is very good. If I was to rate it on a scale of one to five, I would give it a five."
"We've written over a hundred custom connectors ourselves that allow us to do all types of privileged session management for various applications. On top of that, the rest of the API-based central credential providers allow us to get away from credentials that may be hard-coded in the script or some application."
"We are utilizing CyberArk to secure applications, credentials, and endpoints."
"It is an extremely scalable solution."
"We are able to rotate privileged user passwords to eliminate fraudulent use."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include password management and Rest API retrieval of vaulted credentials."
"We are maintaining compliance in PCI, SOX and HIPPA, which is a big thing. Auditors really like it, and it has made us stay compliant."
"Technical support has been very responsive in navigating challenges. It is very easy to open a ticket."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"The upgrade process is mildly complex requiring treatment of the custom embedded OS separately from the application. The correlation of the underling OS to the application version can be easily missed."
"The look and feel of the management console is a little old, excessively simple. If you compare it with other solutions, the look and feel of the console is like you're using technology from five or six years ago. It doesn't show all the technology that is actually behind it. It looks like an older solution, even though it is not."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"There were a lot of manual steps in the initial setup which could have been automated. I read the 10.4 release that was sent out about a month or two ago, and I saw the steps required for upgrade have been reduced by about 90%. That was a big thing for me, but I still haven't seen that yet because we have not upgrade past 9.9.5."
"Sometimes the infrastructure team is hesitant to provide more resources."
"We need a bit more education for our user community because they are not using it to its capabilities."
"The current interface is not very intuitive."
"Its pricing is a big challenge here. When it started, the product came in at a very low cost. Now, they are the leaders in the market, so the cost has grown and is quite huge."
"CyberArk PAM is a very broad product as everyone's requirements for implementation are different. In our particular case, the initial implementation was planned and developed by people who didn't know our specific network requirements, so the initial implementation needed to be tweaked over time. While this is normal, at the time all these "major" changes required CyberArk professional services to come in-plant and "assist" with the changes."
"The product is very vaulting-focused. I'd love to see it expanding its capabilities a bit further into areas like just-in-time elevation, and access with non-vaulted credentials."
"The tool’s pricing and scalability can be better."
