Dashboards are very helpful for showcasing Top 5 attacked applications, Top 5 Vulnerable applications, and Top 5 Vulnerabilities affected in Applications. It helped me to prioritize the resources to secure and showcase the same to management. We don't need to analyze manually to identify all the applications and logs to find top priorities. The Apptrana helped to identify it.

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

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"AppTrana helped us to protect the public-hosted Web, API, and Mobile applications by acting as a strong WAF solution which has Machine learning compatibility that analyzes and blocks the Behavior DDoS attacks."
"Radware DDoS is the best tool, as it protects our applications just as we intended it to."
"The initial setup is easy."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"It ensures both security and performance. It achieves this by learning behavior patterns and providing protection without blocking normal traffic."
"Radware DDoS's behavior-based detection technology is the best thing I have, as I do not need to worry about any new forms of attack that are not pre-configured for filtering because it can create its own signatures based on the quota values I set for each protocol."
"With Radware, there's a lot more granular control of what DDoS you're looking at in terms of DDoS visibility and protection."
"The best feature of Radware DDoS Protection Service is the automation. Previously, manual intervention was necessary, and for incoming attacks, we had to inform the respective security and operations teams, whereas now, it is an automated process that blocks attacks based on policies by default."
"The solution offers a keen, tight service; it's very good at protecting us from DDoS attacks, very good at cleaning our pipeline when support routes traffic through, the product has been stable, the performance is pretty good, and the pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
"AppTrana should improve its backend and frontend connections and loading speed. It is slower compared to other cloud solutions and sometimes it does not sync properly with front-end options and backend."
"The rise of generative AI and machine learning in cyberattacks demands more advanced defense strategies."
"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."
"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."
"I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue."
"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"Radware DefenseFlow should add new features and algorithms to make it efficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
"It is not expensive. It is medium range. The pricing is good, as we recently renewed our licenses from Radware."
"Radware Cloud DDoS is very expensive."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The initial cost is over $100,000 for one appliance."
