We performed a comparison between AWS Shield and Radware DefensePro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The solution's ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"It is integrated with AWS. So, it gives you a good first step."
"We have integrated the tool with Active Directory. The most important feature is that it's transparent and doesn't degrade the performance of our solution. Additionally, it's easy to configure, which is crucial for us. It's easy to use and set up and stops attacks on our servers. We haven't encountered any attack problems because the solution stops them in real-time. AWS Shield specifically focuses on defending against denial-of-service attacks, making it a great solution for that type of threat."
"I am impressed with the product's multiple features like security."
"The product has a good mechanism to analyze trends and trigger events."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Radware DefensePro is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"Its functionality is very good."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them."
"The management of it is a bit hard. If you don't engineer it on the front side, it is hard to go back in and change it. It could be improved in terms of architecture requirements and then ongoing support requirements as a secondary component to it. People tend to set up things like this, and they just expect it to work without the care and feeding that needs to go back into it either from an application team or a network environment team."
"The product should give users more flexibility to customize their security policies according to their requirements."
"The product is expensive."
"The product needs to improve its logs and reports to make it read better."
"We end up having to pay extra for features that AWS adds that we don't need."
"I would like to see more graphics within the dashboard. Right now, you are required to buy tools in order to have graphical representation for your monitoring."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
"Right now, we have DefensePro 6. The only complaint I have is that SSL inspection, when activated, consumes a lot of resources on the machine. We are currently reviewing a possible change to DefensePro X, the new version, which has a separate module with its processors."
"There needs to be more reporting."
