We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Fortinet FortiDDoS 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."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 most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"The most valuable features include the traffic categorization and control of the traffic. The filtering of the traffic is very precise. When you want to stop some traffic, you precisely stop that traffic."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"Arbor has the ability to learn and self-create the appropriate profile for each customer."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"A small improvement could be a better reporting system."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"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 would also like more visibility into their bad actor feeds, their fingerprint feeds. We try to be good stewards of the internet, so if there are attacks, or bad actors within our networks, if there were an easier way for us to find them, we could stop them from doing their malicious activity, and at the same time save money."
"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
