We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Fortinet FortiDDoS 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."There were huge attacks in October, around 62 attacks at 30 gigabits per second, at one of our banks. We used Arbor DDoS to mitigate these attacks, and it performed great."
"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."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"Arbor has the ability to learn and self-create the appropriate profile for each customer."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"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."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters. In default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link,"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The web interface could be much better."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
