Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This comprehensive tool validates and exploits complex vulnerabilities that other vendors fail to find and resolve to increase security.""The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood.""It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service.""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.""Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis.""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 uses several layers of security.""As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously."

Cons
"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.""It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk.""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.""Monitoring and reporting are the things that can be introduced in the future.""For a long time, there was no software version of R80.10 available for the Check Point DDoS Protector software appliances, and we had to stay on the quite outdated R77.30 version.""The Check Point support language is only in English.""The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater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."

More Check Point DDoS Protector Cons →

"Its documentation is not 100% clear, making it the weakest aspect of Radware. We have encountered some difficulties in understanding how to configure it correctly.""Radware DefenseFlow should add new features and algorithms to make it efficient."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "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."
