A solution requiring straightforward maintenance while remaining cost-effective compared to its competitors in the market
I am not in a position to speak about the areas where the solution needed improvement because I resigned during the implementation phase. At that time, the implementation was ongoing, and everything seemed to be going well. Using the solution, our team managed to transfer a couple of routers through a few areas. However, I believe the migration is still ongoing. Nonetheless, the first phase of the implementation was successful before my departure. There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned. This is because I was working for a short period on the solution. In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution. If one wants to scale up, then one needs to change their plan. However, the thing is, one can always go for the larger scale based on one's anticipation of future traffic.

Multi-layered defense ensures robust protection and optimized resources
Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection, always-on and on-demand service, zero-day protection with adaptive behavioral-based mitigation, DNS and infrastructure protection, and SSL attack mitigation. The solution's multi-layer protection covers volumetric, protocol-based, and application layer attacks. They offer a very effective response against DNS attacks. Regarding behavior-based detection technology, in terms of real-time detection, it has been able to reduce false positives. We have pretty good experience with them. The geolocation is pretty good for an organization such as ours. We can block anything from certain regions, like North Korea or China, etc, cetera. It works alongside machine learning. They can update policies globally in less than ten seconds, which really helps with false positives. During a DDoS attack, it ensures legitimate users are not affected. We're working on a hybrid solution, so we have Defence Pro devices on our side and unlimited mitigation capabilities on the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Filters can be customized depending on the characteristics of the attack traffic. This feature has made it easier for Nexusguard's SOC team to further isolate any specific attack that can't be blocked by pre-configured mitigation."
"Cloud Diversion is another good feature packaged with the whole solution. When attack traffic is detected, Cloud Diversion triggers to automatically route our prefix to Nexusguard’s scrubbing center, ensuring that all attack traffic is dropped in the shortest time possible."
"Based on the support received for implementation, I rate the solution's technical support a nine out of ten."
"The support team was helpful."
"The managed service allows us to confidently rely on Nexusguard’s professional team to take relevant actions as and when required to make sure DDoS attacks are successfully mitigated, ensuring 100% uptime of our service."
"It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy."
"Radware DDoS Protection Service has positively impacted my organization because we are more protected against attacks from the internet."
"The tool's machine learning and artificial intelligence help to prevent attacks by analyzing real-time traffic."
"It ensures both security and performance. It achieves this by learning behavior patterns and providing protection without blocking normal traffic."
"Recently, our company has been facing difficulties due to attacks originating from the Russian Federation. DefenseFlow has proven to be a highly effective solution in protecting our customers."
"Its functionality is very good."
"I am happy to see that we have not had any DDoS attacks. This solution has successfully protected us from attacks, and no one has been able to attack our network."
"The most valuable feature is the controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."
 

Cons

"One of the features that should be added to the next release is report generation. Currently, reports can be downloaded every month and are only available at the beginning of each month. It would be nice to generate the reports based on specific dates that we prefer and not have to wait until the next month for the current month’s report."
"The solution must provide features for the post-processing of the traffic type and the traffic quality."
"The mitigation scope of Origin Protection is not fully efficient as there could be delays in activating the countermeasures."
"There was a certain level of performance degradation in the solution, which I don't know if it can be tuned...In my experience, it is an area that can be improved while also considering the stability and scalability aspects of the solution."
"One thing that we would like to improve from them is to provide more training to SOC team for them to have a deep understanding of the solution so that they would always be ready to answer anything without the need to escalate queries to senior personnel."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"To improve my ability to monitor security events, I would like Radware to strengthen its integration with SIEM for better logging capabilities."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing; the product could be more affordable."
"Radware's management is very proactive, but Radware's lower-level staff is not proactive. You need to do a lot of follow-ups."
"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one represents a cheap option, and ten represents an expensive option, I would rate the solution a seven in terms of cost."
"The Radware DefensePro was bundled together with our security platform."
"Radware DefensePro is a bit on the expensive side."
"The product's pricing is a good value."
"It is sort of middle-of-the-road for this type of solution."
"It is not expensive. It is medium range. The pricing is good, as we recently renewed our licenses from Radware."
"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."
"It is expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is okay, and I do not have any concerns about the price."
