Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"Arbor has a global ranking in reliability and credibility. They are very unique and can respond to a very wide scope of threats from their global deployment."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"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."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Arbor DDoS's best feature is that we can put the certificates in, and it will look at layer seven and the encrypted traffic and do the required signaling."
"Remote access is excellent."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"It gives a more accurate assessment of a virus in terms of whether it's truly a virus, malware, or a false positive. We have some legacy software that could pop up as being something that is malware. WildFire goes through and inspects it, and then it comes back and lets us know if it's a false positive. Usually, when it finds out that it's not a virus, it lets us know that it's benign, and it can exclude it from that scan, which means I don't even have to worry about that one popping up anymore."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"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."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"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."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex, mainly due to the GUI console and management challenges."
