Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"It provides packet capture and we can block or whitelist whichever IPs we need to. Whatever traffic we want to block - and we get IPs from internal teams and from national teams - we block at the Arbor level only, because if it gets to the firewall then firewall bandwidth will be taken."
"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."
"The most valuable features include the traffic categorization and control of the traffic. The filtering of the traffic is very precise. When you want to stop some traffic, you precisely stop that traffic."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"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."
"Arbor has the ability to learn and self-create the appropriate profile for each customer."
"Valuable features include simple and centralized management of user access and capabilities, as well as Web 2.0 interactive attack alerting, traffic visualization, and mitigation service control."
"The solution is scalable."
"We get support in the free version."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"Sometimes it blocks legitimate traffic. If a legitimate user is trying to access the server continuously, the product suspects that this is a DoS traffic file. That is a case where it needs to improve. It needs machine-learning."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"Implementation could be better."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"Because we had some routers that were somewhat old, they were not integrated with Arbor. They did not support the NetFlow version that Arbor was running. That was a challenge. We had to upgrade the routers. Some backward-compatibility would be helpful."
"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."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
