Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Corero is its ability to handle smaller attacks in terms of the amount of volume and time. You can handle almost 100 perfect of the attacks locally.""It is a good solution. Its vendor support is the most valuable. It is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers.""SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install.""This is a hybrid solution.""The DDoS protection features are valuable.""It is an agnostic and transparent inline platform, which means that the maximum visibility of the symmetric and asymmetric traffic is available, even allowing bidirectional detection of the attack."

"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers.""The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process.""The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is the benchmark performance.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""The initial setup is straightforward.""F5 technical support is really good.""We have a lot of businesses that we put behind this solution, and it has really helped us in terms of monitoring the logs and incidents.""The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."

Cons
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular. There is also not enough information about Corero. Our enterprise and financial sectors don't know about this solution. They need to provide more information and do more marketing for this solution in our country.""It could use support in Spanish.""The approach taken by Corero is to partner with other organizations in order to address volumetric attacks that cannot be handled by the hardware installed in the infrastructure. Corero does not have a solution for these attacks, so they are looking for partners to help them manage them. This approach is supplemented by local hardware, but the main focus is on the partnerships. It would be beneficial to have a more complete solution.""The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities.""Lacks international presence."

More Corero Cons →

"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better.""F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by adding features that Palo Alto has.""The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration.""F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market.""I just hope the price can be cheaper.""F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price.""There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support.""The price is high in comparison to other products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Its price is normal."
  • "The price of Corero is affordable."
  • More Corero Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall works based on your bandwidth. They look at the clean bandwidth and do the pricing. 20% of a total pipe would be a clean bandwidth. The list price or a non-negotiated price for F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall would be around $2,200 per application per year for everything that you need. When you get into an enterprise kind of a setup, they negotiate this to the last bit. I would easily take 20% on that, which would be the cost, but it should cover all your Advance WAF features, bot protection, tech campaign, etc. It is built as a package and gives you most of the capability. You don't get the mobile SDK, which is an additional license. Mobile SDK is required only if you're buying or if you have a mobile application, and you are going to instrument F5 or Imperva into your mobile appliance. This anyways would be an additional module. It doesn't come within the WAF, but it is a WAF feature."
  • "The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better, they are not very flexible. The price of the solution is based on the requirements of the enterprise."
  • "The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be reduced."
  • "The product’s pricing is reasonable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The DDoS protection features are valuable.
    Top Answer:The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities. It must provide deep inspection features.
    Top Answer:We use the solution for DDoS protection in the routers.
    Top Answer:For ADC, any ADC can do a good job. But in case if you want to add WAF functionality to the same ADC hardware you have to look for other ADC's like F5, Imperva, Radware, Fortinet, etc.
