We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and AWS Shield 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."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 product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"The solution's ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"We have integrated the tool with Active Directory. The most important feature is that it's transparent and doesn't degrade the performance of our solution. Additionally, it's easy to configure, which is crucial for us. It's easy to use and set up and stops attacks on our servers. We haven't encountered any attack problems because the solution stops them in real-time. AWS Shield specifically focuses on defending against denial-of-service attacks, making it a great solution for that type of threat."
"It is integrated with AWS. So, it gives you a good first step."
"The product has a good mechanism to analyze trends and trigger events."
"I am impressed with the product's multiple features like security."
"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."
"Arbor's SSL decryption is confusing and needs external cards to be installed in the devices. This is not the best solution from an architectural point of view for protecting HTTPS and every other protocol that is SSL encrypted."
"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"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."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"The product needs to improve its logs and reports to make it read better."
"The product should give users more flexibility to customize their security policies according to their requirements."
"We end up having to pay extra for features that AWS adds that we don't need."
"The product is expensive."
"The management of it is a bit hard. If you don't engineer it on the front side, it is hard to go back in and change it. It could be improved in terms of architecture requirements and then ongoing support requirements as a secondary component to it. People tend to set up things like this, and they just expect it to work without the care and feeding that needs to go back into it either from an application team or a network environment team."
