"We can reduce the bandwidth to minimize the attack level. If we see more than 2.5 GBs we drop it directly."
"Arbor DDoS is easy to use, provides effective blocking of DDoS attacks, and can be used for DNS, web, and main servers. Additionally, this solution is far easier to operate than others solutions, such as Fortinet DDoS."
"We use it not only for DDoS detection and protection, but we also use it for traffic analysis and capacity planning as well. We've also been able to extend the use of it to other security measures within our company, the front-line defense, not only for DDoS, but for any kind of scanning malware that may be picked up. It's also used for outbound attacks, which has helped us mitigate those and lower our bandwidth costs..."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"Our customers are very happy when we provide them with the interface... They can check how many attacks they have faced and how many attacks have been blocked."
"It's a good front end for public infrastructure"
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"We have a lot of businesses that we put behind this solution, and it has really helped us in terms of monitoring the logs and incidents."

"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"If we want to see live traffic, we can see do so. But once an attack that lasts for five minutes is done, the data is no longer there. It would be an improvement if we could see recent traffic in the dashboard. We can check and download live traffic, but a past attack, with all the details, such as why it happened and how to mitigate and prevent such future attacks, would be helpful to see."
"For troubleshooting problems, it's not so intuitive. It's not straightforward. This is the core of their kernel, so they need to improve it a little bit... In F5 I have full control of everything."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by adding features that Palo Alto has."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
