"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."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"Arbor has the ability to learn and self-create the appropriate profile for each customer."
"Our customers are very happy when we provide them with the interface... They can check how many attacks they have faced and how many attacks have been blocked."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"The solution provides good protection against volumetric DDoS attacks."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"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 solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"It is a user-friendly product in terms of monitoring and updating policies."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."
"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."
"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."
"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."
"The implementation should be made easier."
"There should be an automatic way to configure it to monitor traffic and decide which is an attack and which is not. In Arbor, you need to tweak and set all parameters manually, whereas in Check Point DDoS Protector, you can select the lowest parameters, and over the weeks, Check Point DDoS Protector will learn the traffic and you can then tighten some of the parameters to decide which traffic is regular and which is malicious."
"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 regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"Implementation could be better."
"The product could have end-to-end platform visibility."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"The web interface could be much better."
"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."
"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."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."
"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."
"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."
"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."
"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."
"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."
