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."
"We have taken on the Arbor Cloud subscription, which is really useful because you secure yourself for anything beyond your current mitigation capacity. This is a really good feature of Arbor that is available."
"The stateless device format means that the box is very strong for preventing DDoS attacks."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"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."
"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."
"Its scalability is big. It is for large deployments of big organizations and service providers."
"The user interface was recently changed in one of the latest versions, but we find it to be very good. The change was an improvement."
"Most competitor's environments will have their appliance do a hard stop. This means they weigh traffic from real customers and that affects the overall business experience. F5, on the other hand, uses contextual information to be able to specify what is malicious traffic and what is real traffic. That comes from its pool of intelligence, and from its threat intelligence team."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"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."
"An improvement would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"Arbor DDoS could improve out-of-the-box reporting, it could be better."
"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."
"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."
"We've seen the rise of smaller entities, and their requirements grow by the day. Having the ability to give them appliances that fit their needs in terms of that small or medium-sized segment and the pricing they can handle would be something that's great to see."
"The solution needs better stability when it's utilized with virtual solutions."
