Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From my experience, the best part of this solution is behavioral DDoS protection. The DDoS Protector can monitor the traffic, and based on the behavior, it can decide which traffic is malicious and which traffic is regular. It works dynamically, and it's a very good solution.""It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service.""One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS.""Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point.""This product uses auto-learning and behavioral analysis to establish baselines for legitimate traffic, and automatically detects and blocks traffic behavior that does not conform.""It uses several layers of security.""As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously.""Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis."

"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure.""It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur.""The blocking feature is very good.""The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks.""The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000.""It is a stable solution.""Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability.""Cloudflare is simple to use."

Cons
"I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes.""The mitigation part could be improved.""The Check Point support language is only in English.""The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer.""Check Point should develop a DDoS solution because they don't have one and we need to use another solution, in our case, Imperva. This is a problem because we need to have two firewalls. We would like to only have one solution because it would improve the management, we would have fewer incidents, and we wouldn't need to talk to more than one person for support.""The solution should greatly improve its interface.""It is an expensive tool for some companies.""Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations."

More Check Point DDoS Protector Cons →

"The response time for support must be reduced.""Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support.""The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable.""Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center.""The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based.""There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved.""Operating and tuning the product is difficult.""The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's an expensive solution. It's one of the most expensive solutions in the world. It's cheaper than Palo Alto and Cisco but these are expensive solutions. Fortinet is cheaper."
  • "The appliance comes with a loaded hardware license, and additional options such as SSL can be purchased and enabled."
  • "I don't deal with the pricing, but it seems that you need to get basic support in order to upgrade the DDoS database for new attacks and so on."
  • More Check Point DDoS Protector Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."
  • "The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."
  • "The solution is not that expensive."
  • "The solution's pricing lacks transparency."
