We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS, Fortinet FortiDDoS, and Radware DefensePro 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 auto-mitigation, that signaling feature, where it automatically raises an alarm that a line is under attack, is important. The upstream service provider will then do something to reduce the load on our internet lines. The fact that it's automated means I don't have to sit and always be looking at threats coming through. It does it almost automatically, without any intervention by me."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"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."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"We have taken on the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"With the secure signature feature, the Radware DefensePro is a big assistance. It is a big help to our customers to improve their productivity and performance. The prompt response from the Radware team is definitely increasing in the new era."
"The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"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."
"The dashboard is the best part, and there is also the ease of operations."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"The product is very effective and performs well on devices."
"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"Implementation could be better."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
"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."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"For troubleshooting problems, it's not so intuitive. It's not straightforward. This is the core of their kernel, so they need to improve it a little bit... In F5 I have full control of everything."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"The web interface could be much better."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"I would like to see more graphics within the dashboard. Right now, you are required to buy tools in order to have graphical representation for your monitoring."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"As a service provider, we are expecting the multi-tenancy feature on the dashboard and reporting side. It will help share reports with customers in real-time. They can directly see them online. We are working with their team on API integration with our portal. We will be able to achieve that, but it will take some time."
