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.

It's not easy to get out once you're in
Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information. When you sign on for the paid service, Sitelock: * Hides (makes it difficult to find) that they default the auto-renew (you can't sign up without agreeing to have them automatically bill your credit card every year). * Hides (makes it difficult to find) how to stop auto-renew: * You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses. * You have to hunt their website for a link (in extremely small font) to the page which contains instructions for cancelling. * When you get to that page, turns out it's the 5000+ word "Terms of Service" document, which you have to scour to find a phone number. Then, you have to call and get put on hold (or if you like, they will call you back three days later). Once you finally get through, you have to jump through a lot of security hoops. All of the above, just to cancel the service. Their product may or may not be OK, but be forewarned that with Sitelock, it's not easy to get out once you're in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Radware DDoS Protection Service is valued for its multi-layered defense protection."
"The solution provides good monitoring and a user-friendly dashboard."
"With Radware, there's a lot more granular control of what DDoS you're looking at in terms of DDoS visibility and protection."
"Radware DDoS provides us with the ability to detect real-time attacks, so our Infosec team is made aware before any attacks or suspicious activity occurs, allowing us to take precautions beforehand."
"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."
"Strong DDoS mitigation, good traffic visibility, automated protection, and cloud scalability. It provides useful telemetry during active security incidents."
"It seems to provide a bit of useful information on website health."
"Not only did SiteLock's website scanner find the issue with my website, but with SiteLock I was able to implement a security system to prevent future breaches."
 

Cons

"Radware should focus on customization and integration, allowing routers and firewalls from other parties to integrate with the DDoS solution, enhancing security."
"Better integration with the automated incident response platform, and the ecosystem in general, would be an improvement."
"The initial deployment process can be quite challenging; the business analyst and solution integrator often create confusion, particularly in our location, and as a result, completing the initial setup and implementation can take nearly forty-five days."
"<p>Radware DDoS is not stable. I have encountered stability issues such as performance issues, network timeout with ESP, slowness per regions, and no CDN feature which gives us a clear picture.</p>"
"I want to improve the blocking time; it should be within 10 seconds because 18 seconds allows multiple transactions in the financial industry."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"However, pricing and licensing could be more flexible and transparent, particularly for organizations with multiple protected applications and varied traffic patterns."
"The speed and quality of Radware DDoS's support should be improved."
"Sitelock may perform a useful service, but be wary of giving them your credit card information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The NetFlow security could be improved too."
"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."
"The licensing cost is about $50,000."
"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."
"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."
"The price was well over six figures."
"You can't just stop auto-renew from your billing panel, the way you can with reputable businesses."
