We performed a comparison between Arbor DDoS and NetWitness Platform 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."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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The stability is okay and we have not encountered problems with the solution."
"Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"The quality of the technical support provided by Arbor DDoS is premium."
"It's just one dashboard with mitigation. You decide which mitigation you want and at what threshold to do this or that. Its operation is pretty simple. It's easy."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"With Arbor DDoS, its integration issues with other technologies or other vendors' technologies is an area of concern that could be improved."
"The solution needs to enhance its features to compete with other tools."
"The solution's shortcomings are related to its documentation, so it's an area that needs to improve."
"Arbor's SSL decryption is confusing and needs external cards to be installed in the devices. This is not the best solution from an architectural point of view for protecting HTTPS and every other protocol that is SSL encrypted."
"Arbor Pravail APS devices do not sync features or config the backup enough. This needs to be improved."
"The regional support here in African could improve, such as marketing and account managers."
"On the main page there are alerts that we are unable to clear, even though the issue has been resolved."
"The solution's IT support needs improvement."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
