We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS 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."We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"It provides packet capture and we can block or whitelist whichever IPs we need to. Whatever traffic we want to block - and we get IPs from internal teams and from national teams - we block at the Arbor level only, because if it gets to the firewall then firewall bandwidth will be taken."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"I like all the features together as a whole."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"The DDoS protection that the solution provides is its most valuable feature."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"The important features include automated protection and defense against many attacks, it's important that our networks are protected in the Radware cloud."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks."
"As a service provider, we use the SecOps dashboard feature. That's where we check the time of attacks to see if an attack is happening at the moment or if it has already happened... It is very dynamic and helps us know when an attack occurred, how long it lasted, and what type of attack it was."
"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."
"Implementation could be better."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs a bit more functionality. It would be good if DefensePro could have anti-bot functionalities in order to stop bots like web scrapers from getting onto our customers’ network."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"There needs to be more reporting."
