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."It has an easy-to-understand GUI...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting is quite good. There are several pages of reporting on DDoS attacks, and you can find all the details that you need."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"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."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"I would also like more visibility into their bad actor feeds, their fingerprint feeds. We try to be good stewards of the internet, so if there are attacks, or bad actors within our networks, if there were an easier way for us to find them, we could stop them from doing their malicious activity, and at the same time save money."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"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."
"The upgrade process is mildly complex requiring treatment of the custom embedded OS separately from the application. The correlation of the underling OS to the application version can be easily missed."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"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 product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
