Reliable protection and smooth setup enhance company security
Currently, I have two firewalls, with one located in Sorocaba, model 90D, and the other in São Paulo, model 30D. They are connected by VPN. I use the firewalls for VPN and final protection for my company, and my equipment is maintained by an internet company called Multiprox The equipment works…

Exceptional resilience and protection well-suited for medium to large businesses
The initial setup process is quite straightforward. Its complexity largely depends on the intricacies of your platform. If your platform spans multiple sites across the globe, requiring configuration of multiple instances and traffic routing, it can become more intricate. From our experience, even in companies with extensive platforms, the configuration process remains relatively simple. Once the instances are spun up and the initial configurations are in place, you can use their console application to set up your site or sites for traffic management. This involves configuring the sites and uploading SSL certificates. Even for those not well-versed in the intricacies of networking layers and rules, the out-of-the-box configurations already provide solid protection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The pricing of this solution is better than that of Cisco and other software on the market, which are very expensive."
"We use it to protect our users and their data."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The protection resources and the support are valuable features of the solution."
"The technical support is quite good, as soon as you have an issue you call or send an email and they respond very quickly, and they also provide you with contact details of the CEO."
"The best thing about Reblaze, for us, is that it has been a game changer because previously, we were using Google's Web Application Firewall, but it wasn't up to the mark."
"We like the website protection, it's really good, and the dashboard is really simple to use."
"The main feature is using the rules and being able to see the traffic. It helps us find malicious traffic."
"I very much like the elastic search and reports, allowing us to have a 360-degree view of the customer's activities and enabling us to track down any suspicious bots."
"Reblaze has saved us money by optimizing server usage and blocking malicious bots."
"Reblaze provides us with a solution we can count on."
"It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease."
 

Cons

"All those thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The main improvement would be to change the firewall model, however, currently, everything is fixed and working well."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"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."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"Technical support isn't too good with Fortinet. They could be more responsive and helpful overall."
"I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."
"Perhaps the automatic reporting could be better. I would like to have seen more automated reports."
"Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients."
"We have multiple products behind different instances of Reblaze. We have one instance for staging and then we have a production instance for multiple products. One of the things that we have requested is a unified view panel, so that we can see each of the instances in a unified view. That way, we won't have to go bouncing from instance to instance."
"Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing."
"The interface on the dashboard could be improved. Some of the settings are confusing which makes things difficult when you're trying to get a handle on the product."
"There is room for improvement in helping us understand session management."
"There is room for improvement in helping us understanding session management... We want Reblaze to catch and identify everything. We want to see the various devices doing one activity and to see, in a timeline, what's happened. We would like to see a more human-readable display to understand what's happening in the web app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's quite pricey."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."
"On a monthly basis we pay $750."
"We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."
"There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."
