We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS 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."Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"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."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"Arbor has a global ranking in reliability and credibility. They are very unique and can respond to a very wide scope of threats from their global deployment."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"Radware DefensePro's most valuable feature lies in its ability to mitigate non-traffic attacks."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"It has kept us up and operational on a day-to-day basis, without being interrupted by an attack from outside sources."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Its functionality is very good."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"There is always room for improvement for any product or service. If we can bring in more agility when deploying services, that is definitely a scope which we can work towards. Nowadays, everything is being offered as a service model. It is not that we have to deploy the physical hardware, many things move up to the cloud, or even can be delivered in the VNS form in the customer's environment as well. So, in that space, if we can add more features to make it more seamless for customers to use and make it available through some marketplace, not only at the hyperscalers, but also for any on-prem deployment, that definitely would be a big plus."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"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."
"The solution could be more granular to include logs per second and enhanced pipeline monitoring for router licenses."
"If they would go to a cloud-based approach, that would give much more flexibility in terms of working with them."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"I would like to have more granular steps according to protected bandwidth, so the granularity should be better."
"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."
"This solution may not cover all of the requirements in situations for which I am unfamiliar, and there is always room for improvement."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
