Reblaze support is expert and responsive, with some time zone challenges but effective solutions and committed service.
Support for Arbor DDoS deserves a rating of 10 because when there is a problem with implementation, the people I work with are the best.
The technical support team is very effective in resolving issues.
There is room for improvement; the first line of support could be improved because sometimes we get limited answers from technical documentation, and we are often forwarded to the second line, where the answer is clearer and specific.

Arbor DDoS excels in scalable adaptability for large networks, integrating cloud solutions, despite occasional hardware upgrades and price concerns.

Room For Improvement

Arbor DDoS needs improved auto-mitigation, scalability, integration, user interface, support, AI, threat intelligence, and platform visibility.
Users desire an intuitive interface, better session management, automation, unified view, enhanced WAF, simplified rules, and cost reduction.
I would like to see a roadmap for one or two years, and it is tough to predict what will happen in that timeframe without a clearer description.
I would like to see an option to decrypt the traffic with Arbor DDoS, as some clients are interested in this, particularly for application layer attacks on port 443.
Enhancing the handshakes between Arbor DDoS and third-party solutions is essential for obtaining better and real-time data that supports any organization’s support team effectively.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find Arbor DDoS expensive but reasonable for its performance, with various licensing models based on throughput and routers.
Reblaze offers flexible and affordable pricing with discounts, flat rates, regional variations, and scalability options on private cloud setups.
From our sales department, they discuss that prices are very high.
For some customers, the cost is expensive, but for enterprises looking to protect their services, it is affordable.
 

Valuable Features

Arbor DDoS offers rapid mitigation, traffic visibility, and global security with user-friendly interface, ISP integration, and AI anomaly detection.
Reblaze offers user-friendly, comprehensive security with real-time monitoring, DDoS protection, and effective traffic management, enhancing overall threat defense.
That is an attack over 10 gigabit per second, and if an attack enters the telecommunication network, that will be a disaster for their customer, their services, and so on.
We have many updates for the library of different attacks, and they have artificial intelligence that automatically learns the process during different attacks.
The main benefits Arbor DDoS provides to users include stopping DDoS attacks, which is the biggest nightmare for all customers.

Featured Reviews

Hamada Elewa - PeerSpot reviewer
Users have experienced comprehensive protection against DDoS threats while enjoying seamless integration
The most valuable feature of Arbor DDoS is that it is based in most of the ISPs all over the world, and Egyptian ISPs are one of them. If a customer who is getting internet connectivity from one of the ISPs has an Arbor at the end, it will be integrated with the ISP Arbor. It's some sort of closing all the cycle with Arbor DDoS, from the ISP sides and from your side as a customer. Traffic analysis with Arbor DDoS is very good; it is brilliant. They act in a different way compared to others, and the vendor support is very good. The main benefits Arbor DDoS provides to users include stopping DDoS attacks, which is the biggest nightmare for all customers.
SS
Offers flexibility with a kill switch for bypassing Reblaze if needed and provides a reliable Layer 7 defense against attacks
There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town. AWS WAF, the Web Application Firewall from AWS, has a vast database of bad IP addresses due to its long-standing presence in this business. Reblaze, being a new entrant, is still building its database of bad IP addresses and malicious systems. So, Reblaze needs to work on that aspect. But other than that, I don't think scaling Reblaze has been an issue. There were some initial glitches, but they were all sorted out. So currently, I would say that the bot management and the database are areas they should focus on for further improvement.
