Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."I like all the features together as a whole."
"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"The auto-mitigation, that signaling feature, where it automatically raises an alarm that a line is under attack, is important. The upstream service provider will then do something to reduce the load on our internet lines. The fact that it's automated means I don't have to sit and always be looking at threats coming through. It does it almost automatically, without any intervention by me."
"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..."
"Arbor DDoS's best feature is that we can put the certificates in, and it will look at layer seven and the encrypted traffic and do the required signaling."
"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."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"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 most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"It offers valuable insights into ongoing and past attacks, aiding in post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity strategy."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"Its functionality is very good."
"A valuable feature is the speed of signature updates."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"The product is very effective and performs well on devices."
"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 reporting is very good and provides us with a comprehensive description of where attacks are emanating from."
"The support got worse after NETSCOUT acquired Arbor."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"If we want to see live traffic, we can see do so. But once an attack that lasts for five minutes is done, the data is no longer there. It would be an improvement if we could see recent traffic in the dashboard. We can check and download live traffic, but a past attack, with all the details, such as why it happened and how to mitigate and prevent such future attacks, would be helpful to see."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"When it comes to some false positives, we need to tweak the system from time to time. There is room for improvement when it comes to the actual mitigation because of some false positives."
"They should improve the reporting section and make it a little bit more detailed. I would like to have much better and more detailed reports."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"The web interface could be much better."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"They need to increase the limit of devices that we can manage."
"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."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"The dashboard could be updated."
