Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Predefined filters/techniques to easily stop the attacks and start mitigation."
"Arbor DDoS offers security features that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks."
"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"It's very flexible and we can easily deploy it to our network. It's very user-friendly. We can do everything via the web interface and troubleshoot easily from the CLI. It's not complicated."
"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."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are vulnerability assessment, enrichment security policy, and security"
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The integration is great."
"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."
"An issue which needs to be addressed concerns information I received of attacks on the radar and Arbor, allegedly, not taking any action."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"Implementation could be better."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"We need a SaaS model for the solution."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"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."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
