Radware DDoS can reduce our bandwidth and provide the required performance. Bandwidth compression and all other features are available. SSL encryption, decryption, and offloading are all features we are using, and they provide the benefit of reducing the workload on the server. The server will perform related applications and will not have to do other tasks like DDoS protection, SSL encryption, decryption, or compression. Everything is handled by Radware only. Rather than the requirement of the server being increased two to ten or fifteen fold, with four to five servers, it will properly optimize, and we are getting proper performance.

From the features perspective, the best features in Radware DDoS include SSL onloading and offloading, compression, and the proxy feature. The reverse proxy we are using is a great feature. The response time is excellent. We are getting responses in two to three milliseconds, so performance-wise, it is excellent.

Radware DDoS has reduced my need for additional infrastructure investment due to DDoS threats. We have invested in all the products in data center, disaster recovery, and far disaster recovery sites. For the cloud, we have also purchased Web Application Firewall in the cloud.

In case of any other general attacks, Radware DDoS actually protects or alerts us. We can configure it as per our requirements, so it will alert us before doing or mitigating things. We can configure it in an auto-protect mode, or we can configure it in an alert mode so that we can go through it and then, accordingly, on the basis of our investigation, determine whether it is the real traffic or the actual attack traffic which we need to mitigate. Legitimate traffic, of course, we need to pass it.

So sometimes it depends on what policy we have configured. On the basis of that, it will pass the legitimate traffic; sometimes it is a false positive, then we have to go through it and accordingly reconfigure our policy and then from the next time, it will pass the legitimate traffic and will not block. It will mitigate all the DDoS attacks. So it is working well, and every time we face any kind of DDoS attacks, it mitigates them most of the time, 99% of the time, I would say.

Radware DDoS offers excellent features including a 5 GB capacity box and cloud service benefits. We have taken a Clean Pipe of 200 MB because we have an internet bandwidth of 200 MB. In case of any DDoS attack, because DDoS will choke our internet bandwidth, it will redirect the traffic and then block the DDoS traffic and pass whatever the legitimate traffic is through that 200 MB clear pipe. So we will not face any kind of DDoS, or any attack traffic will be passing through our network.

The Clean Pipe feature helps our team in real situations by improving the uptime because during a DDoS attack, our bandwidth will be choked out. It will redirect the traffic through that Clean Pipe where only the legitimate traffic will be passed through and the rest, the attack traffic, will be blocked and dropped over the cloud.

The interface is GUI-based. Most of the things, if we are from the same domain and if we have an understanding of security, basic security features, we would come to know the configuration and how we can configure this. There are only a few things where, because it is the property of Radware, we need their help. But they are one call away, and once we raise the ticket, the tech will be there to help us configure those specific features.

Radware DDoS is very useful for us in protecting from many attacks, particularly flood attacks and SYN flood attacks, which we deal with in the banking environment. When people are trying to access our systems and attempting to hack, they send continuous pings and flood our systems, and we are using Radware DDoS for that purpose.

What I appreciate about Radware DDoS is that it is very easy to use. We are configuring new rules on Radware DDoS by directly going to the Radware cloud firewall and writing new rules for bypassing and blocking. We use it for geo-based blocking as well, blocking access for users from countries such as China or Japan if we do not want to give them access. We are configuring the objects and implementing them on the security rules, and it is interesting and user-friendly. It is easier for us to handle the access part and any configurations.

My experience with Radware DDoS's behavior-based detection technology in terms of real-time attack detection and minimizing false positives is positive. It provides granular control where you can configure per hour or per day for different threats. Its layer seven cloud firewall protects against outsider threats, and it is very effective in that aspect.

Radware DDoS response times after an attack are quick, and we receive alerts within seconds of a flood attack happening.

The average time for Radware DDoS to detect an incident is only milliseconds, as even a delay of ten seconds is significant in networking.

I see measurable benefits from Radware DDoS in terms of efficiency improvement, particularly in the banking environment where many flood and TCP attacks are happening. It serves as one of the best solutions against the current cyber attack trends.

The key benefits I have seen from using Radware DDoS relate to managing 300 customers. I am currently using multiple attacks to figure out, detect, and mitigate properly while providing the proper details, proper traffic flow, and satisfaction to end-user customers. I just protected a 50 to 60 GB attack.

My experience with Radware's behavior-based detection technology in terms of real-time attack detection and minimizing false positives shows that multiple times there are false positive traffic drops. For this reason, we have verified with the particular application team because by default, Radware DDoS is directly using the default policies. We monitor for five to seven days to observe the traffic, and then we set the threshold properly. Multiple times errors and issues show that legitimate traffic can be dropped, as the system is not understanding the particular customer's ports.

We have first analyzed and then set particular policies and thresholds for Radware DDoS for specific customers.

I find Radware DDoS stable.

I find it scalable with no challenges because we are using all technology from Radware. I am not handling another technology.

The most valuable features I have found include sourcing geo information to determine where the DDoS queries are coming from, and then assisting with reporting to management and senior management. The technical information is great, and converting that into what is being targeted by the DDoS and from where is very helpful.

My experience with Radware DDoS behavior-based detection technology in terms of real-time attack detection and minimizing false positives helps from a technical perspective to get the information and then conduct deeper analysis. The behavior analysis around company announcements, whether it is a retailer or a bank, helps to see how the increase in attacks happens around certain keywords, especially if it is a financial announcement.

The best thing about Radware DDoS for me is that the solution is very accurate. The information and the different types of graphics and data are very important. It is easy to operate and to understand the solution in my case. I had the opportunity to work with other types of solutions, Cloudflare, for example, and Forti DDoS, which is another solution for Fortinet specific to DDoS attacks. Radware is very easy to use. In fact, I had the opportunity to finish many courses for this type of technology.

Radware released a new solution specific to HTTP or Layer 7, and I find this solution very interesting. I try to know more about this specific solution because nowadays many types of attacks are not only Layer 4 or Layer 3 but also application-layer attacks. This solution is very important for me because it aims to understand the traffic, the different protocols, the thresholds for specific applications, and I try to understand the correct behavior. In order to do this, I aim to mitigate different types of attacks. This solution is a significant win compared to other vendors because it tries to understand the traffic and the behavior of the traffic, and it utilizes intelligence or machine learning to mitigate false positives, which is highly customized for different types of customers.

It is very interesting how Radware DDoS works because it is necessary to understand how different types of traffic operate. It is necessary to understand how DNS works. DNS, the domain name system, requires understanding the different queries. The solution for specific DefensePro is very interesting because I can configure the queries and the different types of queries of DNS. This solution permits me to configure and protect the DNS service for different companies. This customization is very easy to implement in order to protect the DNS solution.

The best features of Radware DDoS are their use of DefensePro and DefenseFlow to automatically block detected threats. Normally, it automatically registers malicious behavior and filters those attacks out. Another feature I appreciate is the portal where I'm able to see how Radware DDoS has helped the company.

The specific features of Radware DDoS help my team day-to-day because the auto-detection and mitigation are really important. Attacks are automatically detected and mitigated, which means less hands-on work and it takes the pressure off. When we run into any other issues, the support is available, and it provides effective protection. It didn't take long to implement into our network, and the support is really good.

Radware DDoS has impacted my organization positively by providing robust DDoS protection. It offers excellent security and support, and it's an effective solution. It's there detecting attacks and mitigating them, which has allowed us to concentrate on other areas.

The impact of Radware DDoS on my team's workload and efficiency is positive because we don't have to have too many eyes on one thing. With the DDoS mitigation in place and automatic registering, it helps with that. The support from Radware puts less pressure on us to fix things on our own, and it has dropped the workload quite a bit.

Best key features I find useful in Radware DDoS are real-time attack detection, automated mitigation, and behavioral analysis. These capabilities help identify unusual traffic patterns and distinguish potential attack traffic from legitimate requests.

Its protection against volumetric and Layer 7 attacks helps secure network resources and applications against different types of DDoS threats. Automated mitigation also helps the security team respond quickly without relying entirely on manual intervention.

Overall, these features make Radware DDoS a valuable solution for improving threat detection, reducing the impact of attacks, and maintaining service availability.

The better capability of this device is its machine learning capability, as it can create its own signatures on zero-day attacks.

Radware DDoS's behavior-based detection technology is the best thing I have. 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. A higher filter mode is stricter, but in low mode, it works fine. Low and medium modes work well.

I thought that it would be much more work than it turned out to be at the end of the day because Radware has honeypot functionality that automatically blocks things they discover, and for our case, it blocks approximately 80% of the attacks or possible attacks. Automation is the best feature.

Regarding time and resource savings, it is difficult to say because with security, the answer depends on perspective. I would estimate it saves approximately 50% of resources, placing it in the middle.

Radware DDoS has always managed to mitigate the attacks by cleaning all the dirty traffic and keeping the services regularly usable.

According to my experience, the best features offered by Radware DDoS are the noticeable protection it provides and the ease of use through their portal.

Radware DDoS's portal has made operational management easier for me as it is very clear, intuitive to use, and simple for performing searches to understand the nature of the block and create any exceptions when necessary. You can periodically request a policy review of the protected sites to analyze all the existing rules and determine whether it is necessary to make any changes, also with the support of Radware DDoS, which obviously has more experience in evaluating the individual rules and suggesting potential changes to be made.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted our organization by ensuring we have no longer had service disruptions due to attacks of that kind, even though there have been frequent ones over time. Before setting up the service, unfortunately, we suffered some service interruptions and the resulting reputational damage.

I assess Radware DDoS's response time as very good because it can detect and mitigate DDoS attacks quickly, helping minimize service disruption. I measure this using time to detect and time to mitigate, application availability during the attack, and how quickly traffic returns to normal. Its automated detection and mitigation also reduces the need for manual intervention.

Radware has been effective at mitigating advanced DDoS threats such as DNS attacks because it can analyze traffic behavior and detect abnormal patterns rather than relying on static signatures. During a DNS flood, it can identify unusually high query rates or abnormal DNS traffic and mitigate the malicious traffic while allowing legitimate DNS requests to continue. Compared with basic network firewalls or solutions that mainly depend on predefined rules, Radware DDoS provides more specialized DDoS detection and mitigation, which is useful for high-volume and evolving attacks. The main advantage is the combination of behavioral detection, automated mitigation, and detailed attack visibility.

The SOC dashboard is useful because it gives a centralized view of attack activity, traffic patterns, detected threats, and mitigation. It helps my team monitor incidents in real time and understand the severity and impact of the attack. For metrics, we can track attack frequency, traffic volume, mitigation activity, top targeted services, responses, mitigation time, and false positives. This helps with both real-time monitoring and post-incident analysis.

The best features that Radware DDoS offers, in my opinion, are the fast detection of attacks and response mitigation. The fast detection and mitigation functions have made a concrete difference in my team's daily operations by allowing us to quickly detect DDoS attacks.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by notifying us of attacks that may be carried out against the company, and seeing possible network scans. We have noticed improvements since we detect traffic floods, and that helps us with our daily analysis and alerting about possible incidents.

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 ease of use is excellent because Radware DDoS WAF is user-friendly, allowing us to customize features easily. Additionally, the support from Radware is very helpful; when we need urgent assistance, they arrange to provide support regarding any queries we face, which is a positive aspect of Radware DDoS WAF.

The accuracy and reliability of Radware DDoS output are very good.

Radware DDoS detection time depends on the actual problem statement and the impact caused by the DDoS issue. While detection time varies, being properly guided with the correct solution for data protection is more critical.

Radware DDoS effectively mitigates advanced DDoS threats such as burst and DNS attacks, encrypted SSL floods, and IoT botnets. These threats are already stopped and blocked by Radware DDoS, and we receive notifications or pre-information about such attacks, allowing us to take necessary actions.

My experience with Radware DDoS's behavior-based detection technology has been quite positive because real-time attacks are already identified and blocked by Radware DDoS.

It provides protection for network applications and infrastructure level, and the best part is the behavioral-based detection that Radware provides us, along with real-time signature creation. We also have some applications where we have botnets running, and it provides protection against them. 

Web DDoS targets the application layer, which is layer seven of the OSI model. For that, we focus on the Web DDoS technique for bot-based attacks because we have many applications where bots are running. We also face many random URL attacks every day, and it protects against malicious or suspicious random URL attacks.

It ensures both security and performance. It achieves this by learning behavior patterns and providing protection without blocking normal traffic. These are some of the features I am particularly satisfied with in this product.

Radware DDoS can mitigate attacks from layer 4 to 7, which makes the organization more secured with a dedicated DDoS solution.

Using Radware HTTP or HTTPS protection actually protects my application at the application layer. I am confident that the applications running on my system are well protected from different types of DDoS attack.

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.

Using behavioral-based detection, Radware DDoS can detect even unknown or zero-day attacks and mitigate those attacks within 18 seconds. That is the advantage of the behavioral-based feature of Radware DDoS.

Radware DDoS can pinpoint whether users are legitimate or illegitimate, meaning the traffic. That is one of the key features that Radware DDoS has.

What I like most about Radware DDoS is a favorite feature that we call a pipe. That is the clean traffic that they guarantee towards our company, our bank. The clean traffic is actually the favorite feature that we have, and that is one of the reasons why we went with Radware instead of other solutions. I also appreciate their responsiveness because we were having some troubles initially to establish the whole traffic and routes. They were very responsive to that and helped us a lot. They essentially did the whole routing traffic and everything by themselves because we did not have engineers with experience in internet routing traffic.

Radware has been effective at mitigating advanced DDoS threats, such as Burst and DNS attacks. There were several attacks that I was not even aware of. That is actually the best scenario because I did not know that I was attacked, and that demonstrates how effective they are. I think the best answer is when you are not even aware that you are under attack.

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.

Lokesh Yerramsetti
Security Analyst at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

The best features Radware DDoS offers are behavior-based detection and protection against Layer 3 attacks and Layer 7 attacks, along with encrypted traffic protection, automated mitigation, and hybrid deployment. The main strength, in my assessment, is the behavioral-based detection.

Behavior-based detection has helped my team as it allows me to identify abnormal traffic patterns. For instance, if my company normally receives around 500 HTTP requests per second to its login page, during an attack, the traffic suddenly increases to 20,000, and I have identified this activity as DDoS detection, labeling it as abnormal since 500 is the normal traffic level.

An attacker launched a TLS-based DDoS on an encrypted public application, and since the traffic was encrypted, traditional inspection could not work effectively. However, Radware behavioral detection also helps in such scenarios.

In my experience, the best features Radware DDoS offers include the ability to mitigate DDoS attacks such as TCP and SYN flood attacks; we can also mitigate UDP flood attacks, and while using TCP, it can verify the client and many other aspects, being implementable on Layer 7 for more granular information such as user-agent, which is possible if we import the private key of the particular service.

Out of all those features, the one that had the biggest impact for my team was the Layer 3 and Layer 4 DDoS implementation because it was more effective for us; we did not want to have decryption on the first layer of defense as it would introduce latency for our applications.

Radware DDoS has positively impacted my organization by sorting unwanted traffic, specifically malicious traffic targeting the applications, and it has taken the burden off the perimeter firewall during incidents.

For one particular incident, I believe that more than two million requests came through, and I think over twenty million requests were mitigated at the Radware DDoS level.

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.

This automation has significantly improved my organization's security compared to before. We didn't have that much automation previously, but now, with multiple policies, we can prevent attacks effectively.

The HTTP Layer 7 protection works effectively as the signatures are updated on a daily basis and automated from the Radware cloud. 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.

The zero-day attack signatures for new types of attack threats and vulnerabilities are directly taken from the cloud and blocked. For DC network flow, the fast layer DDoS attack itself is removed from the entry point from the ISP side only. After that, the traffic lands with DDoS, coming from my perimeter firewall, providing another layer of filter and protection. After my perimeter firewall, the traffic goes to my anti-APT, where we perform another level of protection or filtering for DDoS.

The best feature is the auto mitigation of the DefensePro solution. It automatically begins mitigation in milliseconds when an attack is detected. 

During high-volume attacks, such as those during the Christmas and New Year periods, the solution protected our network perfectly, without any disturbance to our real-time users. It is really reliable. 

We use the SecOps center to manage all the policies being created. All of our devices are managed from that console.

When it comes to user experience, the GUI is outstanding. The CLI interface is also amazing because it gives us a proper set of commands. When there is a small difference in the command, it doesn't transfer, which is absolutely amazing. It somehow neglects any error in the investigation or troubleshooting steps. Using the management to console is the best. It's usable, even for a beginner engineer. Anybody I give it access to can use it without any issues.

I would rate the cloud DDoS management system for analyzing attacks on my organization an 8.5 out of ten. 

The best feature is the auto mitigation. It only takes a split millisecond to begin the mitigation of an attack.

We have seen a lot fewer false positives since implementing this solution. It has reduced the false positives by 25%.

The average amount of time it takes for the solution to detect an incident is around twelve to thirty seconds from the detection to the mitigation.

With Radware DDoS Protection Service, two people are able to manage the resource completely right now. We are able to do the protection. It has cut the resources a lot.

Radware Cloud DDoS Protection Service goes beyond the essential Layer Three and Layer Four protection, which are practically mandatory these days. While basic Layer Three and Four defense is crucial, Layer Seven application DDoS protection is where it shines. This is even more important with the increasing reliance on cloud-based applications.

The most promising feature we're considering implementing is container security. It offers superior protection by blocking threats directly at the container level, eliminating the need for a separate WAF. This means a container can sit in front of our application and handle Web DDoS mitigation, taking the burden off our traditional WAF. This approach has the potential to significantly improve overall security.

In our use case, we do not use encryption or decryption. We simply defend against general types of DDoS attacks, like TCP SIM or DNS flood attacks. With Radware, we can defend against many types of attacks.

Radware consists of a so-called security profile. Each profile is just like an engine, and the engines check if that packet is valid or invalid. If it's invalid, it just gets dropped immediately and doesn't go for checking to another engine. But if it's okay, then another engine checks if it belongs to a scanning attack or it's a behavior-based attack. It helps decide whether something is malicious or not.

DefensePro is very effective at detecting attacks in real-time. From our experience, it's quite effective equipment. The main goal during the attack is just to protect the host and the customer's facility. So in this way, it is quite effective. We also have NetScout in our facilities, so we can compare them with each other. 

Our goal is to analyze the attack after attack and try to improve our ability to minimize the false positives. It's helped us.

We've been able to reduce downtime associated with attacks. During an attack, Radware DefensePro drops the malicious traffic. Sometimes it is very effective, and sometimes it is not as effective. However, without this, the very first attack against the customer would just pull everything down. Now that we have this equipment in place providing protection, the customer can continue to work. Maybe the performance would suffer a little bit; however, at least they can continue to work. We have small attacks happening every day against our customers, so having protection is critical.

The platform for administration and review of attacks that are occurring or have occurred is very dynamic and easy to use and administer.

As a service provider, we use the SecOps dashboard feature. That's where we check the time of attacks to see if an attack is happening at the moment or if it has already happened, and we gather information such as how long the attack took. It is very dynamic and helps us know when an attack occurred, how long it lasted, and what type of attack it was. With this functionality, we have the information we need at hand. We know what is happening in real time and what has happened during the day. We review the dashboard for control issues, and we generate and maintain controls with antivirus attack themes.

For monitoring and reporting metrics, the dashboards are very useful. We generate controls for DDoS attacks monthly, and it makes that very easy. In addition, it helps us understand what happened. It's so easy to see what is happening, both in real time and at the time the reports or alerts are generated.

In our organization, the SecOps dashboards are managed by technical staff only. Other people in the company do not have access to it. But if they were shown to a person who is more administrative or managerial, they would understand them because they are easy to understand. I have shown certain screenshots to senior staff, and they were easily able to comprehend them. With this tool, you can express yourself in front of a person who is not involved in IT.

Its ability to detect attacks in real time is very effective. It features comprehensive automation because the signatures update themselves automatically. Plus, it can detect Zero-day attacks and possible attacks that are not yet known. That has also been of great value to us.

DDoS Protection Service provides excellent defense in the cloud, and the implementation and migration are very straightforward. 

The solution provides good real-time protection against threats. 

We use the Cloud DDoS Management System, and it provides good visibility into incidents. We can centrally manage incidents according to our defense flows.  

The Management System is very easy to use. 

The Cloud DDoS Management System provides many cloud-based tools for analyzing and managing attacks on our organization, including alerts and reporting. There's a dashboard that allows us to monitor alerts, and we can configure reports to receive them daily and monthly.  

The Cloud DDoS Management System mitigates attacks depending on their priority, but it takes less than 30 minutes to mitigate high-priority attacks, and the response begins immediately.   

The product's mean time to detect an incident is ten to fifteen seconds.

Signature protection is enabled because it uses profiles stored in the device. When configuring protection for a customer, one can select from various profiles. Migration protection is the most crucial, and we offer subscriptions with Radware.

Another effective feature of Radware DefenseFlow is the behavior mechanism, implemented for protection. This mechanism monitors the customer's traffic and typically requires one day to learn the customer's traffic patterns, establishing baselines. If significant deviations from these baselines occur, the behavior protection is triggered to safeguard the customer's traffic.

I can only distinguish Radware DefensePro from Netscout AED, which doesn't have such a protection network, behavior analysis, intrusion prevention, and maybe anti-bot modules. This product is more advanced than Netscout AED. However, I haven't the knowledge of how it looks in comparison, for example, to F5 or Fortinet appliances or others, as I didn't do RFI and RFP. The most important thing for me right now in the Radware portfolio, is that Radware went to the cloud and has a flexible model based on virtual machines that can be delivered in our data center model, which could be delivered via the public cloud. That’s the big advantage of Radware, from my perspective.

Its functionality is very good.

The behavioral analysis is of very good quality.

The most valuable feature is the DDoS protection.

The reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from. The solution mitigates against these attacks in real-time and you can see where their base path is routing from.

If for any reason, DefensePro goes offline, it doesn't prevent your infrastructure from functioning or your customers from reaching you. Obviously, the protection will not be there, but your customers can still reach the services that you are hosting internally. This is a good feature because otherwise, it would be a single point of failure for your entire infrastructure.

Cisco partners with Radware and Radware integrates with Firepower very easily.

The Radware DefensePro module, the virtual module running on Firepower, provides more DDoS protection than, for example, Cloudflare.

There is a long list of all arrays of the DDoS attempt cross-mitigation that it does. ISP just basically does IP-based DDoS or TCB DDoS protections. Radware goes beyond that, into DNS DDoS, content-based DDoS, et cetera, so it has many levels.

With Radware, there's a lot more granular control of what DDoS you're looking at in terms of DDoS visibility and protection. 

It's an on-prem appliance, however, they also have a cloud-based appliance, meaning that copies always are on demand. 

They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way. 

There's a lot of flexibility, and a lot of different deployment models available whereas Cloudflare, for example, is only in the cloud.

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.

Another valuable aspect is that DefensePro can work together with Alteon and AppWall as one big platform. We can offer one holistic web application firewall, which covers aspects such as layer 7 protection, volumetric protection, and the web application firewall. The integration potential of the solution is great.

The solution is very user-friendly.
