Pros
"Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point.""From my experience, the best part of this solution is behavioral DDoS protection. The DDoS Protector can monitor the traffic, and based on the behavior, it can decide which traffic is malicious and which traffic is regular. It works dynamically, and it's a very good solution.""As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously.""It can be deployed as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance, or as a cloud service.""The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood.""One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS.""It uses several layers of security.""Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure."

"The product is very effective and performs well on devices.""A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks.""It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources.""It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy.""This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment.""Radware DefensePro is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection.""SSL-based mitigation from DDoS attacks is good from their side. They are capable of preventing SSL-based attacks with certifications and everything loaded onto them.""Its functionality is very good."

Cons
"It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk.""It is an expensive tool for some companies.""The mitigation part could be improved.""The solution should greatly improve its interface.""I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes.""Monitoring and reporting are the things that can be introduced in the future.""For a long time, there was no software version of R80.10 available for the Check Point DDoS Protector software appliances, and we had to stay on the quite outdated R77.30 version.""Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations."

More Check Point DDoS Protector Cons →

"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece.""I would like to have more granular steps according to protected bandwidth, so the granularity should be better.""The dashboard could be updated.""I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation.""If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them.""As a service provider, we are expecting the multi-tenancy feature on the dashboard and reporting side. It will help share reports with customers in real-time. They can directly see them online. We are working with their team on API integration with our portal. We will be able to achieve that, but it will take some time.""I had some trouble in the registration account prior to deployment, but it was fixed. They were not very fast or responsive, however. It took about one week to resolve the issue.""Radware DefensePro requires a continuous learning process. Using this technology, we can improve our network. Based on the different attack mechanisms, we use Radware DefensePro to provide security for our clients' networks very effectively."

Pricing and Cost Advice
