We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Cloudflare 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."We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"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."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"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."
"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..."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
"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."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"Technical support is lacking."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
