Effect local attack handling, intuitive interface, and scalable
We have been using Corero for government customers.  Corero stands out from other market solutions because of its ability to operate within the infrastructure with a latency of one microsecond. It can quickly detect and respond to threats, unlike other approaches that rely on traffic patterns and…

100% availability, good dashboards, and ease of operations
Security is the most important benefit. In security services, we need to get proactive information. After implementing Radware DefensePro, we have a dashboard, and we can do proactive detection. It helps us to be reactive as well as proactive to protect the customers. Radware DefensePro provides a single dashboard for our operations team and the admin team. It is very convenient. All the information is available in a single place. As a service provider, we are using the Radware SecOps dashboard as per our customer's requirements. It is always customized. The Radware SecOps dashboard is quite useful. It is generally used by my team. I am not using it directly. My team uses it for day-to-day operations. The Radware SecOps dashboard is easy to use. The interface is very user-friendly. This is the feedback that I am getting from my team. Radware DefensePro is very useful for protecting our organization against DDoS threats and attacks. We evaluated it against a lot of its competitors and finalized it. It is definitely useful, and it serves the purpose. We are serving the BFSI customers. There are also a lot of trading companies. We are able to meet the compliance requirements for the Internet traffic given by the Reserve Bank of India and SEBI. Radware DefensePro is able to detect attacks in real-time. It does the detection and provides alerts in real-time as well. The action is something we need to take. My team has not reported any false negatives given by Radware DefensePro. The proactive information and the dashboard of Radware DefensePro definitely give us comfort. It also helps me with online reporting for my customers, which is not in real-time, but whenever a customer asks for a report, we share the report with the customer. Radware DefensePro has not helped us reduce downtime associated with attacks because we did not have any downtime previously. We have been lucky. The downtime was not there at all, but it is helping to maintain our uptime. We are able to maintain that now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"This is a hybrid solution."
"The DDoS protection features are valuable."
"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."
"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."
"SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"Radware DefensePro's most valuable feature lies in its ability to mitigate non-traffic attacks."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"It has not gone down for a quite long time. It's working fine."
"The dashboard is the best part, and there is also the ease of operations."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"Its functionality is very good."
 

Cons

"Lacks international presence."
"It could use support in Spanish."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"As a service provider, we are expecting the multi-tenancy feature on the dashboard and reporting side. It will help share reports with customers in real-time. They can directly see them online. We are working with their team on API integration with our portal. We will be able to achieve that, but it will take some time."
"Right now, we have DefensePro 6. The only complaint I have is that SSL inspection, when activated, consumes a lot of resources on the machine. We are currently reviewing a possible change to DefensePro X, the new version, which has a separate module with its processors."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"Radware DefensePro requires a continuous learning process. Using this technology, we can improve our network. Based on the different attack mechanisms, we use Radware DefensePro to provide security for our clients' networks very effectively."
"I would like to see more graphics within the dashboard. Right now, you are required to buy tools in order to have graphical representation for your monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Corero is affordable."
"Its price is normal."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"The price was well over six figures."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
