We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The support team was helpful.""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.""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."

More Nexusguard DDoS Protection Pros →

"The product is very effective and performs well on devices.""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 is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection.""It has not gone down for a quite long time. It's working fine.""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.""It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand.""They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""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."

More Nexusguard DDoS Protection Cons →

"We would like to have seven-layer functionality.""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.""The dashboard could be updated.""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.""There needs to be more reporting.""This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement.""This product would be improved if ongoing live monitoring with dashboards were added."
