Find out what your peers are saying about Cloudflare, NETSCOUT, Akamai and others in Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Protection."Companies that live from their presence on the internet will get a very high return on investment from Arbor."
"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."
"Arbor DDoS offers security features that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks."
"In the GUI, the packet capture is a very good option, as is the option to block an IP address."
"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."
"Using standard BGP, NetFlow and SNMP ensure wide compatibility. There are also peering traffic reports that can help identify upstream peering opportunities. The ATLAS aggregation service allows us to contribute to the global DDoS data and benefit from overall trends."
"With real-time packet capture features, you can easily and quickly response."
"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."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"With this product, we receive the best monitoring and reports."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"It is an expensive product, so there is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"Auto mitigation is a feature provided when DDoS is observed on any of link/customer (configured under auto mitigation). It automatically starts mitigation with default filters. In default filter mode, there could be an impact on the customer’s link,"
"Implementation could be better."
"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."
"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 would be to provide information on how pricing is done on different customer levels."
"There is definitely room for improvement in third-party intelligence and integrations."
"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."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"As a firewall and 360 degrees of security, there needs to be more maturity."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"There are some formats that the solution cannot support ."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The price could be better."
