We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and F5 Silverline Managed Services 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."I like all the features together as a whole."
"It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is fully mitigating the attacks. We've dealt with other ones where we didn't necessarily see that. The detection is very good. It's also very simple to use. Arbor is a single pane of glass, whereas with other solutions you might have a detection pane of glass and then have to go to a separate interface to deal with the mitigation. That single pane of glass makes it much simpler."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"The auto-mitigation, that signaling feature, where it automatically raises an alarm that a line is under attack, is important. The upstream service provider will then do something to reduce the load on our internet lines. The fact that it's automated means I don't have to sit and always be looking at threats coming through. It does it almost automatically, without any intervention by me."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable because it is a managed service. The good part is that you don't need to set it up. It just needs DNS routing, which is the easiest thing. Our client had Akamai for certain websites because they were using CDN features. They had NetScaler on the internal zone, F5 AWAFs on the data centers, and no WAF at all in the cloud. One of the main activities of the project was to move all these policies into a single WAF so that we could control and use that as a choke point. That exercise itself was very easy because it was a managed service and F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall does that for you. That's the best thing about F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. It is easy to apply policies on-premises. If you have AWAF on-premises and you want to replicate some policies on F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, other than the policies that it applies by itself, it is easy because you have a team that supports it. F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall works perfectly fine. It pretty much does everything that an Advanced WAF on-premises should do."
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a good front end for public infrastructure"
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"If we want to see live traffic, we can see do so. But once an attack that lasts for five minutes is done, the data is no longer there. It would be an improvement if we could see recent traffic in the dashboard. We can check and download live traffic, but a past attack, with all the details, such as why it happened and how to mitigate and prevent such future attacks, would be helpful to see."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"I think the diversity of protection is extremely limited. It must be expanded in future upgrades and versions."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
"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."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"The price is high in comparison to other products."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
