We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"We use it not only for DDoS detection and protection, but we also use it for traffic analysis and capacity planning as well. We've also been able to extend the use of it to other security measures within our company, the front-line defense, not only for DDoS, but for any kind of scanning malware that may be picked up. It's also used for outbound attacks, which has helped us mitigate those and lower our bandwidth costs..."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"The most valuable features include the traffic categorization and control of the traffic. The filtering of the traffic is very precise. When you want to stop some traffic, you precisely stop that traffic."
"The technical support of Arbor DDoS is good."
"We can reduce the bandwidth to minimize the attack level. If we see more than 2.5 GBs we drop it directly."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"On the application layer, they could have a better distributed traffic flow. They could improve that a bit. For network data it is very effective, but the application layer can be improved."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"Implementation could be better."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"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."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"Security needs improvement."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
