We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Palo Alto Networks WildFire 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 most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"Arbor DDoS's best feature is that we can put the certificates in, and it will look at layer seven and the encrypted traffic and do the required signaling."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"Our customers are very happy when we provide them with the interface... They can check how many attacks they have faced and how many attacks have been blocked."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"We can reduce the bandwidth to minimize the attack level. If we see more than 2.5 GBs we drop it directly."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"There should be an automatic way to configure it to monitor traffic and decide which is an attack and which is not. In Arbor, you need to tweak and set all parameters manually, whereas in Check Point DDoS Protector, you can select the lowest parameters, and over the weeks, Check Point DDoS Protector will learn the traffic and you can then tighten some of the parameters to decide which traffic is regular and which is malicious."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The deployment model could be better."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
