We performed a comparison between A10 Thunder TPS 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."It is a scalable solution."
"Thunder TPS has automated mitigation and fully managed support in case the device cannot handle the attack. They have engineers available to respond."
"We can keep track of all the customer's requirements. We can forecast our trails and we can forecast our overall financial things."
"The response time to an attack is instant. We've used some outsourced solutions in the past, out in the cloud, that weren't so quick. But it's all within our control now. We control how fast it mitigates."
"The most valuable feature of A10 Thunder TPS is load balancing."
"They give us the ability to configure many features for DDoS. There are many items that we can use."
"Based on previous equipment that we had, it's amazing that this device can do what it can do in a 1U form factor. The devices that we have right now have never gone over capacity and we've actually mitigated some pretty large attacks."
"The GUI is very use-friendly. You can configure it through CLI or GUI, they give you an option to choose. It's a good solution in terms of the appliance itself. It's very light compared to other brands that offer DDoS solutions."
"A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"It has not gone down for a quite long time. It's working fine."
"SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"I would like for them to develop an advanced reporting feature."
"The upgrade process for the boxes is not efficient. We have to go through the A10 aGalaxy where we have issues, like timeouts. They told me it was fixed in the latest version, but I tried to do it on the Portal and it is not working all the time."
"I rate Thunder TPS seven out of 10 for scalability."
"The last issue we had to contact them about was just a question of a false-positive. The A10 system wasn't supposed to decide what is a false-positive. So if we send it good traffic, it's supposed to just pass that good traffic through. But we opened this last ticket because the A10 did block some of the good traffic. Their support had to tweak it a little bit, but it wasn't anything that took a long time."
"It is very difficult to implement. It should be made a bit easier to implement. There is also a lack of resources on the internet. They need to develop more resources."
"We have had some issues with implementation. So, it is the only area that needs improvement."
"We currently do not use the solution's machine-learning-powered Zero-day Automated Protection because of an issue with it... We also use the aGalaxy platform, which is a management platform for the TPS devices. The issue is that some TPS features were added at the TPS level but weren't carried over to aGalaxy, and we manage all of our devices through aGalaxy. So we can't actually use some of the new features that are available on the TPS because that functionality doesn't exist in aGalaxy. That is one of my biggest complaints."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"There needs to be more reporting."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"I would like to have more granular steps according to protected bandwidth, so the granularity should be better."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
