"It uses several layers of security."
"One of its most outstanding functions is the zero-day DDOS."
"This product uses auto-learning and behavioral analysis to establish baselines for legitimate traffic, and automatically detects and blocks traffic behavior that does not conform."
"Currently, we have fewer incidents with viruses. We improved our IQ operations and security using this solution. Our company's better after using Check Point."
"As our business continues to grow, we can grow this product simultaneously."
"Check Point detects and automatically mitigates attacks, which helps our organization protect our infrastructure."
"The is a really low level of the false-positive alerts (when the clean traffic is marked as DDoS) due to some advanced techniques used by Check Point under the hood."
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"Most vendors fulfill the requirements for standard DDoS protection, but F5 Silverline Managed Services has a better understanding of defending web applications like HTTP and can mitigate more bot activity than any other vendor."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is it becomes similar to a distributed architecture."
"It's a good front end for public infrastructure"
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable because it is a managed service. The good part is that you don't need to set it up. It just needs DNS routing, which is the easiest thing. Our client had Akamai for certain websites because they were using CDN features. They had NetScaler on the internal zone, F5 AWAFs on the data centers, and no WAF at all in the cloud. One of the main activities of the project was to move all these policies into a single WAF so that we could control and use that as a choke point. That exercise itself was very easy because it was a managed service and F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall does that for you. That's the best thing about F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall. It is easy to apply policies on-premises. If you have AWAF on-premises and you want to replicate some policies on F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, other than the policies that it applies by itself, it is easy because you have a team that supports it. F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall works perfectly fine. It pretty much does everything that an Advanced WAF on-premises should do."
"The Check Point support language is only in English."
"For a long time, there was no software version of R80.10 available for the Check Point DDoS Protector software appliances, and we had to stay on the quite outdated R77.30 version."
"It does not provide the capability to upload data for blacklisting/whitelisting in bulk."
"The solution should greatly improve its interface."
"I would like applications for Android and IOS where we can follow the events, and, if necessary, make changes."
"The mitigation part could be improved."
"The public documentation is a detail that must be improved in order to have greater implementations with the best practices in this case of the Check Point manufacturer."
"Check Point DDoS Protector does not provide the ability to upload data for the blacklist/whitelist in bulk, which is one of the big points that need to be improved to facilitate configurations."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"The price is high in comparison to other products."
"You need to have Linux knowledge in order to use the shell."
"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
