We performed a comparison between Cloudflare 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."Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"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."
"Radware DefensePro is one of the best solutions for on-premise protection."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"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."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"They have a hybrid model approach if a client wants to go that way."
"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."
"DNS Management."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"Right now, we have DefensePro 6. The only complaint I have is that SSL inspection, when activated, consumes a lot of resources on the machine. We are currently reviewing a possible change to DefensePro X, the new version, which has a separate module with its processors."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"The dashboard could be updated."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"They need to increase the limit of devices that we can manage."
"We would like to have seven-layer functionality."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
