Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Arbor DDoS offers security features that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The backup is the best feature."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"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,"
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"There is always room for improvement for any product or service. If we can bring in more agility when deploying services, that is definitely a scope which we can work towards. Nowadays, everything is being offered as a service model. It is not that we have to deploy the physical hardware, many things move up to the cloud, or even can be delivered in the VNS form in the customer's environment as well. So, in that space, if we can add more features to make it more seamless for customers to use and make it available through some marketplace, not only at the hyperscalers, but also for any on-prem deployment, that definitely would be a big plus."
"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."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
