We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS, Fortinet FortiDDoS, and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."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..."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"Arbor DDoS offers security features that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable feature is mitigation, which can blackhole the IP."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"The product allows us to check real-time progress, including latency and network activities."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"We can reduce the bandwidth to minimize the attack level. If we see more than 2.5 GBs we drop it directly."
"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 is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Gives us the ability to trace each connection, and to have logs to be able to differentiate between a positive and a false-positive intruder action."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"There is some room for AI to take place."
"The look and feel of the management console is a little old, excessively simple. If you compare it with other solutions, the look and feel of the console is like you're using technology from five or six years ago. It doesn't show all the technology that is actually behind it. It looks like an older solution, even though it is not."
"Implementation could be better."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
"For troubleshooting problems, it's not so intuitive. It's not straightforward. This is the core of their kernel, so they need to improve it a little bit... In F5 I have full control of everything."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"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 web interface could be much better."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"Its price could be improved. It is quite expensive. It will be good if we could export the configuration. Currently, to control the configuration, we need to go to each website, which is not very convenient."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"The weakest point of Imperva is their first level of support, which should be improved. They should also improve the access and security logs viewing directly on the portal. I would like to see better access and security logs through the portal and not only through a SIM solution. Currently, if you want to explore your access and security logs from Imperva, you need a SIM tool or a SIM infrastructure on your side to do it. You can't do it manually or directly through the portal, which is a big problem for us. I had a call yesterday with Imperva for the roadmap, and I just told them this. They agreed that this is an improvement point from their side."
