Effective network and DDoS protection with suitable pricing
I use Corero for network DDoS protection projects. It is particularly effective in providing protection against network DDoS attacks I find Corero to be good, especially in a wide area. It does not have application filtering or application DDoS prevention, but for network DDoS projects, it is…

From the features perspective and functionality-wise, there are areas of Radware DDoS that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future. Version upgrades are being provided, but they should communicate with clients about these new features being available so clients can test them and deploy them on the disaster recovery system before moving to the live segment. There should be a test report that will provide confidence that the version is stable and everything will work properly. Last time we faced an issue with a version upgrade, and we faced extensive troubleshooting with littile bit more time in the troubleshooting process. It turned out to be a small issue that was resolved by the engineering team. I would like to see improved support from Radware DDoS. Sometimes in support, we have to log the call with their support partners rather than Radware. After ten years of experience, we know exactly what the issue is, and we understand that it cannot be handled by their support channel or partner level. Radware team always asks us to go through the partners, but sometimes we have found that the issue cannot be handled by the partners. After the partners fail to resolve the issue, it goes to the Radware team. At that time, one to two days of required timeline gets increased by one to two days. If Radware came into immediate action and resolved the issue rather than relying on their service partners, it would be better. After ten years, we have the knowledge of troubleshooting, and we understand that the issues we are facing with Radware can only be resolved by their team. However, due to their policy, they insist we move through the partner first, and only after the partner fails do they escalate to Radware. During that troubleshooting period of twenty-four to forty-eight hours, we remain in an unresolved state with the reported issue.

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 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 DDoS protection features are valuable."
"The most important aspect, in general, is that the price is suitable for most clients."
"It is a good solution, its vendor support is the most valuable, and it is simple and works well if you have Juniper MX routers."
"It is a very efficient and robust appliance."
"I like the fact that the product provides a hybrid solution."
"SmartWall devices occupy only one-fourth of the width of a rack unit, making them very easy to install."
"I would recommend Radware DDoS Protection Service fully because I have observed improvements in bandwidth speed."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"The clean traffic is actually the favorite feature that we have, and that is one of the reasons why we went with Radware instead of other solutions."
"It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy."
"The best features that Radware DDoS offers, in my opinion, are the fast detection of attacks and response mitigation."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"During high-volume attacks, such as those during the Christmas and New Year periods, the solution protected our network perfectly, without any disturbance to our real-time users."
 

Cons

"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."
"Lacks international presence."
"Corero needs to improve its application DDoS prevention capabilities and user behavior detection features."
"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."
"Juniper is known in our country, but it is not very popular."
"I'd like to see an increase in Corero's international team. Our clients are generally companies with an international presence and Corero is not represented in all the countries where our clients have presence."
"The product must provide more Layer 7 capabilities."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"The DefensePro is not a cost-effective solution. It's very expensive."
"Pricing has room for improvement. It is somewhat inconvenient for us because the new features that are introduced are pricey and are just add-ons to the original or baseline license."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"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."
"When the core services and the ERP are exposed to the internet, Radware DDoS has not managed to mitigate any specific attack with major impact that I can recall."
"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
"I think the ease of use of the Radware DDoS interface requires a bit more advanced knowledge, and there are applications that are much more intuitive."
"The rise of generative AI and machine learning in cyberattacks demands more advanced defense strategies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is normal."
"The price of Corero is affordable."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price varies by use case and there are monthly and annual licensing options. If you deploy on-premise, there is an annual license with the amount dependent on the throughput you need and which features you will be using - i.e. IPS, behavioral, etc."
"Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side."
"Its pricing is competitive. The licensing model is also very competitive. It is customizable, so there is no issue at all. They have given us whatever we have asked in terms of the pricing model and SLA."
"When compared with other solutions, my end user is satisfied with the costs and believes that Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service is worth the price paid."
