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."The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"We can reduce the bandwidth to minimize the attack level. If we see more than 2.5 GBs we drop it directly."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features include the traffic categorization and control of the traffic. The filtering of the traffic is very precise. When you want to stop some traffic, you precisely stop that traffic."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."
"Arbor's SSL decryption is confusing and needs external cards to be installed in the devices. This is not the best solution from an architectural point of view for protecting HTTPS and every other protocol that is SSL encrypted."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"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."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"Its technical support could be better."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Security needs improvement."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
