We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and NetWitness Platform 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."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."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Valuable features include simple and centralized management of user access and capabilities, as well as Web 2.0 interactive attack alerting, traffic visualization, and mitigation service control."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"Arbor has a global ranking in reliability and credibility. They are very unique and can respond to a very wide scope of threats from their global deployment."
"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 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."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"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."
"Implementation could be better."
"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."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"Its technical support could be better."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
