We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Check Point DDoS Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"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..."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"Arbor DDoS's best feature is that we can put the certificates in, and it will look at layer seven and the encrypted traffic and do the required signaling."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point."
"As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously."
"One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS."
"This product uses auto-learning and behavioral analysis to establish baselines for legitimate traffic, and automatically detects and blocks traffic behavior that does not conform."
"Check Point DDoS Protector is a product that uses machine learning and behavior analysis."
"The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood."
"Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure."
"It uses several layers of security."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"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."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"Arbor's SSL decryption is confusing and needs external cards to be installed in the devices. This is not the best solution from an architectural point of view for protecting HTTPS and every other protocol that is SSL encrypted."
"The upgrade process is mildly complex requiring treatment of the custom embedded OS separately from the application. The correlation of the underling OS to the application version can be easily missed."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
"On the application layer, they could have a better distributed traffic flow. They could improve that a bit. For network data it is very effective, but the application layer can be improved."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer."
"I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes."
"It is an expensive tool for some companies."
"The Check Point support language is only in English."
"It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk."
"The solution should greatly improve its interface."
"The mitigation part could be improved."
"Check Point should develop a DDoS solution because they don't have one and we need to use another solution, in our case, Imperva. This is a problem because we need to have two firewalls. We would like to only have one solution because it would improve the management, we would have fewer incidents, and we wouldn't need to talk to more than one person for support."
