We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Imperva DDoS 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 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..."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"Our customers are very happy when we provide them with the interface... They can check how many attacks they have faced and how many attacks have been blocked."
"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."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"We have taken on the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"It is fully mitigating the attacks. We've dealt with other ones where we didn't necessarily see that. The detection is very good. It's also very simple to use. Arbor is a single pane of glass, whereas with other solutions you might have a detection pane of glass and then have to go to a separate interface to deal with the mitigation. That single pane of glass makes it much simpler."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"The solution has a very good interface."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"Implementation could be better."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
"Imperva now offers add-ons to add functionality, but I would like to see these included in the product, even if it would cost more."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
