Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install.""It is a good solution. Its vendor support is the most valuable. It is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers.""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.""The DDoS protection features are valuable.""This is a hybrid solution.""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."

"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network.""Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution.""I find the interface easy to use.""It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies.""The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use.""The product's initial setup phase was really easy.""The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks.""We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."

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.""Lacks international presence.""The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities.""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."

More Corero Cons →

"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""Alerts and reporting features must be improved.""The web interface could be much better.""I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often.""The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills.""The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings.""There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
