We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Prolexic 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."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"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."
"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 solution does not have hardware or maintenance requirements and is very easy to scale."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
"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."
"Implementation could be better."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"The solution needs additional product options for small and medium enterprises."
Arbor DDoS is ranked 2nd in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection with 46 reviews while Prolexic is ranked 14th in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection with 4 reviews. Arbor DDoS is rated 8.6, while Prolexic is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Arbor DDoS writes "A critical solution for security, as it includes features that can automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Prolexic writes "Scaling is very easy but more options are needed for enterprise environments". Arbor DDoS is most compared with Radware DefensePro, Cloudflare, Imperva DDoS, Corero and Kentik, whereas Prolexic is most compared with Akamai App and API Protector, Cloudflare DDoS, Cloudflare, Lumen DDoS Mitigation and AWS Shield.

There are two aspects for this query:
1) if the client has multiple applications that needs to be considered for DDos protection I will prefer to go with Prolexic, but
2) if the client has multiple network devices and those devices are front facing for being a security appliances then I recommend to go with Arbor network for DDos protection, because it has the capability to handle large size of packet length as well as the volume of the packets.
It's has been a great experienced for me by evaluating arbor networks which is very well when considering the protection of network devices (core, edge) having a virtualized environment and on site solutions .
For prolexic they have a wide verity of solution for applications that are custom develop or using a vendor based application. It's function
From experience between Akamai prolexic and Arbor to me is the mitigation techniques and integration to your network. Prolexic uses Netflow in order to detect an attack and then switch traffic to their solution in order to mitigate the attack. The most effective technique to mitigate attacks according to them is an always-on solution, meaning that you're routing your traffic to their network, which adds a hop and depending on your geographical location, can increase network latency.
Arbor solutions usually work with On-Premise Equipment which does mitigation of low and slow, layer 7 or low yield volumetric attacks. The advantage of Arbor solutions lies in a hybrid solution providing this on-prem technology and cloud scrubbing center capabilities for volumetric attacks which your network cannot handle.
