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."Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"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."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"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,"
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"A small improvement could be a better reporting system."
"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."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"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."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
