We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Arbor DDoS is easy to use, provides effective blocking of DDoS attacks, and can be used for DNS, web, and main servers. Additionally, this solution is far easier to operate than others solutions, such as Fortinet DDoS."
"We also use it by serving our customers' cloud signaling services with on-premise APS devices."
"There are a number of valuable features in this product, like Cloud Signaling and Threat Intelligence feeds."
"The artificial intelligence feature is most appreciated. This solution can lower the throughput and clear the traffic, which is something really important for us. It also provides good protection. It is user-friendly, and its integration has also been really fast. We have many critical applications, and it was easy to integrate Arbor DDoS with our website, mobile application, and web banking."
"Analytics and its attack mitigation capabilities are valuable features of the solution."
"We are able to respond quickly and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The solution is flexible, easy to implement and has an efficient technical support team."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"This product is a reliable defense from malicious attacks on a network environment."
"An improvement has been to our website: It increases the speed of our response, the capacity of the site, and optimizes the bandwidth."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"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."
"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."
"Implementation could be better."
"The following areas need improvement: opening and tracking support tickets, online support resources, software upgrades/updates and replacement media, and event management guidelines."
"An improvement to Arbor DDoS would be to make evaluation licenses and virtual machines available."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"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."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"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."
