A comprehensive and advanced product that prevents DDoS attacks
Kaspersky DDoS Protection offers three layers of support. The first layer of support is from the reseller, the second from the distributor, and the third from Kaspersky itself. Kaspersky has two support options. If one of my clients to whom I have sold Kaspersky licenses is facing an issue, they have to register themselves and wait in queue for support. It can take around 24-72 hours. A client can buy support from Kaspersky directly for a whole year. This type of support is quick and good since they respond within an hour.

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

"It is a mature product and we have not faced any DDoS attack. The tool is a comprehensive and advanced product. The solution is compatible with third-party products."
"DDoS Protection Service provides excellent defense in the cloud, and the implementation and migration are very straightforward."
"It is very easy to deploy and I did it myself."
"Radware DDoS has impacted my organization positively by providing robust DDoS protection, offering excellent security and support, and serving as an effective solution that detects attacks and mitigates them, which has allowed us to concentrate on other areas."
"Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service goes beyond the essential Layer Three and Layer Four protection, which are practically mandatory these days."
"In terms of the environment that I work in, the SSL, DNS, and HTTP are all valuable features."
"The solution is stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"The best feature is the auto mitigation of the DefensePro solution created by Radware."
"With the secure signature feature, the Radware DefensePro is a big assistance. It is a big help to our customers to improve their productivity and performance. The prompt response from the Radware team is definitely increasing in the new era."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky DDoS Protection's cloud version does not support all the features of its on-prem version. The solution needs to improve its support since clients can face issues that hurt their network. They would need an immediate response."
"As price increases based on the volume of net traffic, it can get expensive."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"I suggest improvements to the user interface to make it easier to use and to find the necessary data for analysis."
"The DefensePro is not a cost-effective solution. It's very expensive."
"Radware should focus on customization and integration, allowing routers and firewalls from other parties to integrate with the DDoS solution, enhancing security."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaspersky DDoS Protection's prices are average. Compared to other brands, prices are competitive. When you purchase many licenses, you get a heavy discount. However, the prices are not affordable."
"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."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"The cost for maintenance is cheaper because the majority of the deployments using the solution are in areas where cost of maintenance is also lower."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the amount of network traffic and the number of packets being inspected."
"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."
