Advanced protection has secured critical web workloads and provides clear traffic visibility

From a security perspective, there remains a security loophole, as some browsers in the market can bypass the Turnstile solution, which requires approximately 40 seconds to do so. From a performance perspective, this is acceptable. We also tried Google reCAPTCHA, and that can also be bypassed. From a security perspective, I would say neither solution is completely secured. Regarding uptime, we have faced a couple of incidents due to Cloudflare in recent years, so I cannot say we receive 100% uptime for our region. We sometimes face challenges, including downtime and other issues. As a result, we are not receiving 100% uptime from Cloudflare's solution. Since most of our customers are in this region, we need alternatives. We need something more competitive than Cloudflare. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh, Cloudflare has three points of presence already, and we cannot find any other solution provider in Bangladesh as an alternative, which presents another challenge. Competitor solutions have more attack signatures, which ensure better security compared to Cloudflare's predefined configurations. Customers do not have options to modify any configuration parameters in Cloudflare, whereas other competitor solutions, such as F5 Distributed Cloud, allow customers to tune configurations according to their requirements. Cloudflare could improve in this area. Additionally, regarding visibility, Cloudflare has static visibility, but they could adopt dynamic graph features for their customers.

Advanced protection has optimized web and API performance while reducing infrastructure costs

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.

A cost-effective choice for website security and informative support with issues related to CDN quality

One area where they could improve is in providing real-time support options because now you need to open a support ticket and wait for their response. It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance. I have found their Content Delivery Network service to be lacking in quality, and it could certainly be enhanced to provide better performance. I would also like to see improvements in the deployment process, as it currently takes more time than desirable. Another significant concern is that their service when your website is down, turns it into a static site. This means that if customers try to visit your site during downtime, they will see old content from the static site, which is not ideal. The CDN and tracking services are areas that need improvement, as well as addressing their bandwidth limitations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare is easier to manage than the solutions provided by these vendors, and the user experience is much more straightforward and appeals to a lot of developers."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."

"Cloudflare's DNS services deliver the best performance in terms of speed and reliability."

"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."

"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."

"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."

"There is no service as mature as Cloudflare that is also as easy to use, reliable, and hosted from excellent infrastructure."

"Cloudflare is very straightforward."

More Cloudflare pros

"The solution is stable and reliable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

"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."

"Zero-day protection happens automatically because the initial steps only require us to create the policy for filtering, but after that, it continuously does its job without any manual intervention."

"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 controller that determines when and how traffic can be moved to the cloud."

"Radware DDoS is very effective in mitigating distributed denial-of-service attacks, the solution is very mature, and since Radware DDoS can detect attacks within 18 seconds, it really helps the organization against those types of attacks."

"The intuitive user interface makes the entire process seamless and efficient."

"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."

More Radware DDoS pros

"The initial setup was very easy."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"For people who own a personal website, this solution is worth trying out since their security solution is somewhat full-fledged."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"Rather than locate some things manually, the Sucuri plugin scans and allows us to pinpoint whether there is malware or some problem in the site."

Cons

"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."

"An integrated SSO feature would be useful for Cloudflare DNS."

"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."

"With CDN loads, sometimes we get an error that the host server is unavailable when the connection between CloudFlare and the server timed out."

"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."

"It would be beneficial for us if Cloudflare could offer a scrubbing solution. This would involve taking a snapshot of my website and keeping it live during a DDoS attack, ensuring uninterrupted service for our users. DDoS attacks are typically short in duration, and having Cloudflare maintain the site's availability from its secure network would enhance the overall user experience. I would appreciate it if Cloudflare could consider implementing this feature. Many organizations already utilize similar capabilities in their CDN platforms, where a static snapshot of the web page is displayed during DDoS attacks. In terms of features, Cloudflare needs to enhance its resilience and stay more focused on adopting new technologies. For instance, solutions like F5 XC Box, Access Solution, and Distributed Cloud Solution have impressive features, and Cloudflare should strive to match and exceed those capabilities. There's a need for improvement in areas like AI-based DDoS attacks and Layer 7 WAF features. Cloudflare should prioritize enhancements in areas such as behavioral DDoS and protection against SQL injection attacks, considering the prevalent trend of public exposure to the internet for business reasons. Overall, Cloudflare needs to invest more in advancing its feature set."

More Cloudflare cons

"The different solutions for Radware DDoS are expensive. Better pricing is needed."

"The DefensePro is not a cost-effective solution. It's very expensive."

"The solution needs to improve its communication with users."

"There's room for improvement in the clarity of the feedback provided by the command service in the CLI."

"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."

"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."

"Better integration with the automated incident response platform, and the ecosystem in general, would be an improvement."

More Radware DDoS cons

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."

"We are using the free version."

"A free version of the solution is available."

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"I rate Radware DefenseFlow's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Licensing of Radware is quite simple and straightforward, while Arbor DDos is a bit complicated."

"The NetFlow security could be improved too."

"I didn't check pricing of other providers in depth but verified with two, and found Radware to be significantly cheaper compared to F5."

"Radware DefensePro is expensive when considering the issue we have and its limitations."

"It is expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."

"It is not expensive. It is medium range. The pricing is good, as we recently renewed our licenses from Radware."

"Radware's switch to a pay-as-you-go model last year provides great flexibility."

More Radware DDoS pricing and cost advice

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."
