We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and F5 Silverline Managed Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is the benchmark performance."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Most vendors fulfill the requirements for standard DDoS protection, but F5 Silverline Managed Services has a better understanding of defending web applications like HTTP and can mitigate more bot activity than any other vendor."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters. In default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link,"
"Because we had some routers that were somewhat old, they were not integrated with Arbor. They did not support the NetFlow version that Arbor was running. That was a challenge. We had to upgrade the routers. Some backward-compatibility would be helpful."
"There is always room for improvement for any product or service. If we can bring in more agility when deploying services, that is definitely a scope which we can work towards. Nowadays, everything is being offered as a service model. It is not that we have to deploy the physical hardware, many things move up to the cloud, or even can be delivered in the VNS form in the customer's environment as well. So, in that space, if we can add more features to make it more seamless for customers to use and make it available through some marketplace, not only at the hyperscalers, but also for any on-prem deployment, that definitely would be a big plus."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"You need to have Linux knowledge in order to use the shell."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by adding features that Palo Alto has."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"In terms of the scalability, this part is always so confusing because they are checking for packet count. Also, after an attack, they said that the throughput must be from gigabits but then I check my bandwidth and it is already done in gigabits. So it is a little bit confusing."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
