We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Radware DefensePro 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."The auto-mitigation, that signaling feature, where it automatically raises an alarm that a line is under attack, is important. The upstream service provider will then do something to reduce the load on our internet lines. The fact that it's automated means I don't have to sit and always be looking at threats coming through. It does it almost automatically, without any intervention by me."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"There were huge attacks in October, around 62 attacks at 30 gigabits per second, at one of our banks. We used Arbor DDoS to mitigate these attacks, and it performed great."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"It provides packet capture and we can block or whitelist whichever IPs we need to. Whatever traffic we want to block - and we get IPs from internal teams and from national teams - we block at the Arbor level only, because if it gets to the firewall then firewall bandwidth will be taken."
"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 not gone down for a quite long time. It's working fine."
"Radware DefensePro is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"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."
"A small improvement could be a better reporting system."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"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."
"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."
"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters. In default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link,"
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"As a service provider, we are expecting the multi-tenancy feature on the dashboard and reporting side. It will help share reports with customers in real-time. They can directly see them online. We are working with their team on API integration with our portal. We will be able to achieve that, but it will take some time."
